So when you guys gonna tell us what your working on? Im holding out on mods till you guys start making R56 parts, Ive heard so much great stuff about the work you do on R53's.

If I could guess what your working on... maybe a new Intake Manifold?

Anybody else got some ideas?

 

I'm guessing hand painted license plate frames. Just in time for X-mas. Jan's a slow painter, thus the long time for testing and development.

 

 

OP - you really know how to raise excitement and then drop us on our collective butts with that title.

 

I figured it might be interesting to see what people think theyre working on, Im dying to know what it is myself

 

I'd like to know...I'd imagine it's something to do with a ecu tune and perhaps a turbo kit....

 

ECU tune ECU tune!!!!

Please Santa!!!

 

Praise the lord!

or....should I say praise Jan!

Whatever it is, im sure it's exciting and worth every penny!

 

A stroker kit, new intake manifold or a real cold air intake.

 

Maybe a turbo kit with a real tune, equal length tubular exhaust manifold, all the piping + BOV, bigger injectors and Downpipe ? lol I wish

 

A hot side boost tube and real CAI? That sounds about right...

I too have heard some incredible stuff come from their place. Especially on mlu...

 

this is easily do-able..............it just won't be cheap

 

Honestly, cheap isnt an issue.

The first thing I do when my car gets back to the states is a big turbo kit. Im thinking Garrett GT3071R. If there isnt one on the market by then, im doing what I can myself, outsourcing the rest.

I love my Mini to death and really want to keep it, but im dying for some real horsepower here.

 

lol... you won't need a 3071 to make big power

 

What have you got in mind?

 

all depends upon how much hp you "think" you need

the Mini really comes alive near 300whp

going to 400whp just makes your tires worthless unless you have drag slicks

Most people think they want 400whp then realise it sucks driving it everyday in stop and go traffic.

 

Im looking for mid to low 12's in the quarter on pump gas and drag radials

 

Don't need a 3071 for that..... just good driving
I would go with a smaller turbo and have a much better overall driving car that will be fast on the road course too

 

A smaller turbo with a quicker spool would be better suited for road courses, and I could see how that would be more fun on the street. I cant wait to really start exploring the limits of this engine, only problem is im stuck here in Germany till next year

So when you gonna tell us what your working on

 

LOL.... when I finish it

 

Well im sure youll deliver a quality product when its done.

I guess not knowing what it is until its done and tested is better than having you guys over hype your products like some other vendors do on NAM

Just hope its sooner than later

 

it will be sooner.... it's 3/4 done now

 

I totally agree, a nice reliable 300whp with power throughout most of the rpm band would be perfect....what do you think is the perfect upgraded turbo for that?

 

I have my theories but time will tell. What I will tell you is a much smaller turbo than what most are thinking

 

What do you think the limit of the stock fuel injectors is?
