Thanx Marty, For some reason I thaught they were new to Volks Racing.

The body kit on the '04 MCS is from Esquiss, imported from France.
Dyno sheet before and after installation of Twincharger Kit. The '04 made a little more horsepower stock than the '02 MCS. Looking at the A/F, I believe this is from re-mapping of ECU by factory.
The boost is set at 18PSI running on 92 octane.

 

Nice looking dyno plots!

I hope you can answer a couple of questions:

1.) Is 18 psi the highest reasonable boost level or have you experimented with higher? For example, could it be dialed-in for 300 crank hp and still give a reasonable life-span? (It's a dream I have).

2.) I have Sunoco 94 octane available in PA. Would this make much difference?

3.) How much water/alcohol would routinely be needed for the injection? Where do you get it? How much does it cost?

Thanks,

Gene

 

Congrats TWIN!!

Looks sweet!

 

Twin Great numbers-Looking foward to install the kit. Thanks for info on body kit.

 

Do you have any sound bites or video of this thing in action? If I could hear it that would totally sell me. Maybe even a new pic of the final thing.

Thanks!

 

Ditto

 

We will be attending the PDA (Performance Drivers Association) event at Watkins Glen, NY this coming Saturday, Oct. 9. We plan to test new parts and continue datalogging so that we can continually update and improve the performance of our products.

We will be also testing our new Sticky Pod and video camera setup, so stay tuned for the first official video of the SPI Twincharged Mini Cooper S in action.

 

Wow sounds good Hubie. I look forward to it!

Ginge: I think Hubie will post all the info after the car is launched at the SEMA show in November.

Sounds like a good idea,there are plans to be made to put this kit out and many would like to grab some of his final plans and details before the time is right.

 

Hot Dam$ thats the ticket! Looking forward to seeing this lil rocket and most of all hearing its fury!

Didn't we hear that like 6 months ago?

I am awaiting the release of the kit and more details on it. I will most likely be in the order line as well.

One question....if the Mini the turbo kit is purchased for is an '03 with the JCW kit what kind of numbers do you think you would see and would the kit be just as reliable?

Man I wish I could be a SEMA

 

NO NO NO! You definitely don't want to add any of the turbo kits to a JCW or pullied car. If you have any type of smaller pulley, you have to go back to stock. The boost will be WAY TOO MUCH for this engine. Reliability will go down the drain...FAST!

Plus with the JCW - you're also talking about wasting a lot of money b/c no dealer will touch a twin-charged MINI. So there goes your $4k warranty. So when you take off the pulley and put a stock sized one on, plus the ECU will be retuned for the turbo, you basically spent $6k on the JCW kit for the head!

 

TWINCHRGDMINI and a JCW KIT.

Might as well put a stick of Dynamite under the hood and light it.
Same result

 

Better yet, how about the JCW, TWINCHRGDMINI and the M7 VENOM NITROUS! Yeah Baby! Go out with a ball of flames.

 

Cool! When we will be able to get this turbo kit?

 

come on now... you are just trying to create a "double bump hood" the easy way!!!!

 

so what kind of mods will be possible with this kit!!!! will everything but a puly be possible ?

so head, cam, header and exhust and a;; those still be dooable or will the whole system have to go back to stock?

sorry have to know!:smile:

 

No Pulley-to much boost
Exhust can stay.

 

To be shown at the SEMA show. Then there is supposed to be some movement after.

 

Can it be done to the JCW if the pully was converted back to stock. Basicly leaving a better flow head and a more durable (ceramic tip) supercharger. Wouldn't that be a good combo with the turbo?

 

So when is the video and sound bit coming.....any word?

 

In case anyone was wondering about where to get more info on that body kit as I was here is the LINK

"If the pully was converted back to stock". It would help to have a larger intercooler. The Turbo builds additiional heat.
Otherwise that would be a great combination IMHO.:smile: FAST
