I have been running all the mods w/nitrous and so far so good.....

 

You must not have limited slip.... wheelspin is limited

 

Not yet......

When I finish the engine build up, then comes the tranny.. Should be done for the spring.

 

Rough estimates so I know how much I need to save?

 

Don't hold me to it but we are looking at the $4800 range for the base kit, without water injection. That is subject to change, but that's the ball park.

 

Jut parts or parts + installation?

 

I spoke to Eric today and he would not tell me anything. That is probably cause I can't keep a secret .

 

Doug, you think'in of getting back into a Helix twincharged Mini?

 

Here are some pictures of the kit that we displayed at SEMA:

 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


POWER..........................




how about the latest dyno using stock exhaust????

 

yumm

that looks really well done

 

I have a feeling next monday or tuesday you will see some siiiiiiiick dyno numbers from these guys

 

looks absolutely AMAZING!!! what does this bad boi put on your checkbook these days? I MUST KNOW!

i think they are aiming at the price of the JCW kit
i wanna say roughly ~5000 range , so dont quote me on this please

 

We installed our Twincharger Kit on a completely stock 2004 MCS over the weekend. After a few runs on the dyno, the customer drove back home to Maryland - probably in much less time than his trip up to NJ!

Completed installation:

We are very excited with the results since this is the ultimate MCS sleeper. It's nice to be able to have a conversation in a MCS without speaking very loud....
One thing we did notice is that the factory exhaust does restrict flow somewhat at higher rpms, but the hp and torque numbers are still very impressive.

 

impressive with the stock exhaust/engine


Now I want to see the really siiiick numbers.....

on a fully modded car

 

Wow.

That looks very impressive.

 

That's really sweet. Any info on how well it gets power to the ground? How easy is it to get wheel slip? This is my biggest concern, coming from an AWD car, I'm not too keen on the whole wheel slip thing.

Considering the stock S will spin the wheels rather easily....





I'd recommend LSD...

 

Is there any problem with heat inside the interior? It would seem a good idea to put some reflecting material in the back of the turbo, since some cutting had to be done for fit.
Otherwise,great kit

 

Gawd! I can't wait.

 

Did you order a stock-size pulley yet?

If so, there's a guy here who needs your 19%:

I've just gone unemployed. That is good, and bad. It means I will have plenty of wrench time....until the funds begin to dry.

I think I'll keep quiet about my progress until complete. I need to regain the title of "fastest MINI on Cape Cod" from a certain nitrous loving gentleman.
Until then, I'm brushing up on my second language...German.

 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Nitrous... the great equilizer

 

nice numbers for being bone stock
