WTB R53 LSD, I need a factory style clutch type.

Also looking for

JCW injectors
JCW airbox
JCW brakes or R56 brakes
JCW springs
JCW shocks

I have r56s 2010 complete set for the swap including bracket and Akebono or euro brake pads for sale or if you want them. You only need R56 brake lines and rotors. I can do 360 shipped. Thanks

those wont work, I can only use R56 regular or R53 JCW brakes

Oh ok,you don't want to use with bigger rotors? 294mm?

Those are the brakes that you want: http://www.c0op3r.com/MINI/FrontBrakes.html

I can not run bigger rotors it bumps me to STX

Actually my understanding is that is not true the JCW was OEM equipment and therefore legal.

BUT if that is the case then you need a set of r56 COOPER (non S) calipers, pads and brake lines.

Yes as co0per said. I ran them fine with no issues as i thought those are for r53 jcw. Thanks co0per

With the cost of all those parts you could buy another r53

Where can I get a cheap JCW?

If you need JCW cylinder head,i have 1 in great great condition if not like brand new. Pair it with jcw injectors and jcw tune you will be at 210 easily

It's on my wish list but it's after a supercharger rebuild, LSD and springs

Ok buddy,i can send you pics of the jcw head to your email if needed. I have a post for sale for it.

not sure that's going to get 210 easily...

Exhaust is exhaust which not doing anything,airbox jcw same deal except adding sound. Head,injectors and tune are main components.

And i assume the OP know about reduction pulley if not he has even a smaller size then the jcw one. Which can add little more hp over the jcw

I have to assume that he is trying to stay in the STU class for racing, with that being the case The JCW parts are all Acceptable in that class as they are OEM and the car could of been bought that way from the factory.

So the comment about buying another car is not really valid here.

Injectors, Tune, JCW Supercharger (11% Pulley), JCW airbox and JCW Suspension are all great and valid options.

You can find the parts available used with exceptions; the Injectors and airbox are pretty easy. The suspension you can get for about 2500 to 3k NEW from the dealer. Tune you can go with custom or a factory/dealer JCW tune.

I personally would also add the JCW Head.

Last and the most expensive part will be the LSD transmission. It will cost you at least 1k for a good used facelift trans and then it has to be installed. Is it worth it? In my opinion YES - but still a hard bit to locate.

I'd have to disagree the exhaust and intake will add addition hp, leading to the 210.

I am a little confused by your statement, do you think that (anyone) can not get to the 210 HP number with a JCW kit? I ask, as I want to provide you with the correct information.

I was referring to this above statement....if you want the full 210hp, I think you'll need the exhaust and intake as well as the other components

I am running dstock or dstreet so basically no mods,. LSD is first on the list I'm dropping trans probably this weekend, followed by injectors/tune and airbox. I have found dyno's that showed the jcw 210 tune is pretty good with stock injectors I already have a catback exhaust

Hope to find JCW springs to go with koni adjustable, I'm ok with stock springs so it's low on the list

brakes are last on the list, with race pads I'm locking them up easily

edit stupid phone

I found a supercharger rebuilder that can get a JCW oem pulley and do a regular rebuild +200 $ for the pulley unless I can find a used supercharger first, waiting till fall after this AX season.

head is not ont he list right now, maybe next season with an engine refresh

well things change, just won a auction on a complete JCW engine & ECU right up the road I guess I really need an LSD now, will do a clutch while I'm at it

Bav,
That was what i meant. Exhaust and intake wouldn't do anything much. I stated clearly that the jcw head+injectors + jcw tune are the main components

the head cant do that much, they only port the exhaust a little bit, I'm sure there's dyno's out there with stock vs jcw head

so any one have a LSD laying around?

Yes If I remember correctly the 210 kit is:

Head
Injectors
Intake
Exhaust
and tune.

There is some other parts but they are only pretties not going to add anything.

It really breaks down to what the OP wants to get out of the car, and how hard he wants to shop. Truth would be sell his and hunt down a JCW with full package already installed.

Now that assumes his car is worth 7 to 8k$, as a nice fully optioned JCW is going to be 10 to 12k$.

I just did a build on a 2005 and I spent double what the car is worth, but the build is completely badass if I do say so.
