Finally i got my MSC back since almost 3 weeks..

These is what it have..

Turbo JCW

Custom Downpipe 3''

K&N Filter

Exterior:

Front bumper JCW

Red roof

And now the rear jcw bumper... (theres no lip in the rear because im modifying it..)

Impressions??
Fast but i think i will need soon an intercooler...
Theres no CEL yet... (for the DP)





Cheers!!!

 

Did you even tune the ECU for the JCW turbo? This looks like a factory JCW with the red roof. Is it?

 

It is not tuned yet.. im searching the best option for my car (need advices), and nop... it was a simple Mini Cooper Hot Chili S Astro Black...

 

Get a tune for it and enjoy the extra power of the JCW turbo...

It will pull like a train till the redline ;-)

Watch mine here...

 

You should talk to the guys at Evolve Automotive in the United Kingdom. They've been doing work on a MCS with a JCW turbo swap this year. They might have something available to you.

 

Good God! 1.5 bar at the end. Hang in there pistons

 

How much you pick up the jcw turbo for?

 

Pistons have been fine for 10k miles now and the Evolve tune is just wonderful.
I should also add that this boost pressure is not used during the summer. The Evolve-R gives me the benefit of switching tunes whenever I want...
What you should be looking at is the EGT gauge on the right, if you want an insight to the piston's health...They are lower than with the stock tune...

 

Do you drive bat-**** crazy every day? Wouldn't high exhaust temps indicate you have a lean burn condition but not necessarily indicate you could be operating at too high of a cylinder pressure? Every person that's on
NAM state-side with a JCW turbo and tune seems to be saying hello to the partsman for a new engine after 15,000 miles from what I've seen

 

Just having some fun really...Using it for my everyday commutes, joining hill climb races, participating as a safety car in rallies and doing track days once in a while...
My Mini has been tuned since 2009 and has done since then 40000 abusing miles...
We will see how long it lasts...in the meanwhile I am allowed to have some fun!
I have been logging EGTs with various tunes right from the start and noticed that. You are right, but also remember that excess cylinder pressure always comes with side effects...altered firing temps! So as long as my high boost tune from Evolve (which is also boost-cut free) has lower EGTs, I am happy with it and will enjoy every second with it...

 

They do good work. Rock and roll.

 

@SUPRAMO

Ever considering buying a Factory JCW? Just wondering...

Feels like the amount you spent you could of got yourself a fJCW already

 

Dont know about the price of the JCW in USA but in Mexico it is very expensive than the S.. even a used JCW is still expensive...

But the only thing I really want are the brakes..

 

Shoot me an offer, I may get rid of the full JCW/Brembo set

 

Now maybe i will need help haha...
In this days the mini is in limp mode because it didn´t pass the 11 psis (before it was in 14)...
Any idea it can be???... i feel low punch... i will check my DV..

This is my mini..
