Cooper is a mechanical pump driven off the belt. Got to think outside of the "S" shaped box.

 

the SC, altanatorand A/C compressor take all the space for belt drive accessories. If you use the 62 and the cooper pump, where would you put the cooper pump? There's no room for it.

Sorry. Didn't realize the water pump sat where the SC is.

 

but sometime when you get a chance, look at the packaging of the S under the hood. Everything is real tight.

Matt

 

Good point, but this kit is built on an MCS. Back in the box we go!

 

You mean in a nutshell?

 

I spoke with Dave a couple of times today but not about the kit..... he has a lot on his mind and runs a business with other products etc....hopefully without much prodding we can get an update early next week..... until then as Dr O says we can "jabber"

 

Will this mod affect my warranty?

 

Thats our Redline in that video, as you may know we developed the turbokompressor kit with Helix. The Redline TC puts out 335whp at 18-19psi boost on pump gas.

Back on subject!!!
Nice work on adapting the 62 to the Cooper

 

 

good ****.....that thing is a beast....guy in my shop has one and we're gonna do some stuff to it soon.

 

Hey Spidey, if you don't mind, would you keep us updated with sporadic 'teases' on the progress of your monster? I read back through the thread this morning, and I appreciate how you've repeatedly attempted to avoid any promises about "numbers", while at the same time 'confessing' what you hope to achieve. You've done a good balancing act!

And kudos to DDM for not making any promises, other than to work out the kinks, and report what they achieve. As we have seen several times before, developers seem to get jumped if they overpromise and underdeliver, and DDM have demonstrated great restraint in their public pronouncements. Good for them!

 

You noticed my balancing..... on saturday they will have had the car for 1 week and I will ask then how it is going.....if they volunteer anything I will let you know.....

 

I know the cooper s has the pump on the back of the SC, what I didn't realize was that the COOPER has the pump where the SC normally sits. I thought maybe it sat lower around where the a/c compressor is, thats all.

 

Ok, this thing took to long to come to market.... I give up

Who's making a twin screw kit??

 

You have one under your bonnet

 

Nope. That's twin impeller.
Twin screw is a true compressor not a blower.

Info linky thingy
Very good site BTW for things Forced induction

Oooooo Preeeeety

 

You want to know how good of a guy Dave is? He called me today wondering if I made it home ok from the weekend because I was having some problems that we managed to fix as well as Dave making a small bracket that he thought would help stabalize some things under the hood!

That's a good man in my book. I will be a patient grasshopper waiting and know that what we see will be worth the wait.

 

Pretty, but problematic - at least in all the Miata applications.

 

I know it wouldn't be easy. Since it's a compressor the entire induction path would need to be redesigned.
My original post was just a poke fun thing. Wasn't intended to be serious.

 

Whipples aren't exactly new. I keep wondering if any of our friendly developer/vendors tried to develop an application.

 

any new updates for the kit?!

 

on vipers... its the most reliably modification you can do to your car... you can bolt it on in about 4-6 hrs... and dyno your car and get about 640rwhp... its just nutty... and they are 110% reliable... they have really mastered it on the vipers

 

I miss my MINI I keep wanting to go out for a "motor" and my baby is gone at least for another 3-4 weeks..... all in the name of science..... for a good cause.... I do need a support group though

 

Ugh! I lost Jango for 2 days while he was in for service! I even had a new 3-series as a loaner. I feel for you! I guess that's the price of being an early adopter!

Much like the MINI buying process, the wait seems like forever now, but in a few weeks you will have the motoring joy back (in force ) and you will have the distinct pleasure of pointing to your huge supercharger, looking at us and crying "Nah Nah Nah... I've got one and you don't!"
