Jenvey Dynamics Throttle Body Kit For BMW Mini Cooper S

Discuss...

 

Granted, the photo caption states the pic is not a representation of the actual product, but good luck fitting it under and plumbing it to the intercooler.

 

I'm just wondering if anyone has any more info about the kit or if anybody knows of someone running it. I've seen pics of a justacooper with ITB's but not a MCS.

 

I'm with ya, I'd like to see more info too. On the MC ITB (by HPA) they had to cut the baffle that seals the front to the hood. The MCS has that pesky intercooler pipe. I'm guessing this is acutally for a justacooper too.

 

I would love to see how they did the plumbing on this one. would probably be all custom IC setup or just a IC exit pipe. and whould there be significant power gains?

 

having been involved some of the developement on one of these kits on a miata yes the power gains can be excellent but nothing much beyond that of a well designed intake manifold. The big gains we found on the miata was response. Even though the HP #'s weren't out of this world the car would turn better lap times then the #'s would lend to suggest it could. It was however neat that we could adjust the powerband by playing with the horns on the inlets. I wasn't involved in the math behind it all I just got to drive it.

 

With boost involved, I think a charge pipe would better than ITB to hold a more consistent PSI across the intake inlets.

Something like:



Here is the Hayward Performance ITB - note how much space is needed in front of the head.


And the HPA version - again no room for the supercharger:

 

You could put the little Rotrex SC right underneath if you wanted. I't would fit easy.

 

You could also move the radiator to the boot to route piping to the ITB.
