R53 surging(bucking) at low speeds
Hi! i am having some issues with my 2003 mini cooper s JCW
Please move this if i am not posting in the correct area.
Hi! i am having some issues with my 2003 mini cooper s JCW. I've had it for about 5 moths.
I recently did these modifications to my car: Solid lower motor mount, Sprint booster, 17% reduction supercharger pulley, Detroit tuned bypass valve, Upgraded plugs wires and coil, BC racing coilovers. It is bucking/surging until i get the rpms up high and drive it like a racecar.
Any advice on what is wrong or what to do?
Thanks

It might be a t-map sensor....
Please describe more what it is doing....
But first thing I would do us unplug the sprintbooster....simple thing to elimate...if set to to sebsetivr...it can make cars kinda surgy...

You could have the mapping checked/adjusted at your favorite Dyno Tune shop... they can map your car to the latest MODs and make it purrr. (In the South Central PA area I would recommend HELIX over in Philly, they do great Dyno work).
But yes, for quick test unplug the Sprintbooster and see how it runs without it...
Motor on!

With a 17%, car should run fine, no tune...
Back to the op...
Any codes, pending or set?
Is it OK above about 4500? Surgy below...and is it a surge or more of a stutter?
Do check next to the bypass valve....ensue the clips are on right...
The s has a t-map from a r50, using the map only next to the head, and a t-map on the intake...could be a crankpostions sensor...but lack of descriptions and codes make it a wild azz guess......
I'm also having this same issue with my MCSa 2006. Only happens on 2nd gear at medium or full throttle. Everytime on 2nd gear I need to tap the pedal very lightly till it gets to higher speed or simple up shift it to 3rd early to avoid the sudden power surge
