JCW GarageInterested in John Cooper Works (JCW) parts for your 1st Generation MINI? This is where JCW upgrades and accessories for the Cooper (R50), Cabrio (R52), and Cooper S (R53) MINIs are discussed.
Found this on the Anandtech hot deals forum, supposedly there's only one, and based on my non-JCW experience, it looks like the injectors and air intake are missing... Could be a nice late xmas gift for a NAMer who always wanted the kit, but never wanted to pay full price....

Nope, the head is no great shakes. You could do better elsewhere. The JCW CAI and 380cc injecters can be had for $500 at the dealer as an upgrade package. The real value is in the ECU upgrade, the car drives like it was meant to.

The supercharger for the JCW kit has been extensively modified. It has heavier duty bearings and gears to take the stress of it's 14.7% reduction pully. These mods are to prevent it from grenading at incresed operating rpm for long periods of time ie. longish continous track time.

Where did you get the " heavier duty bearings and gears to take the stress " info?

Thats news to everyone.. Its the same charger as the one in the stock 05+ It has the coated vanes which was different than the 04- MCS. That and the pulley are the only differences..
