Hey Guys,
After 5 years without my R53, I am proud to say I bought back from my buddy!!!
Not much has changed, but sure is louder than I remember....suspect my old Ireland Engineering exhaust has a hole in it
Anyways sadly it remained parked outside for nearly a year, and a mouse moved in to the Heater core...so yeah dealing with that clean out!
Hope all you have been well, and look to chatting with you again!

Welcome back, and great looking car!
How do you like the RMW street cam? What head and injectors are you running? I was thinking about getting one, but wasn’t sure if it would be worth it with a stock head.

the street cam is a cam you can run on stock tune, any of the other cams we sell should have a tune for them. (even the street will run better with a tune)Originally Posted by RB-MINI

the dominator cam is also made to work with the stock head, but with header/injectors for maximum gains

I have a stock head and can tell you without any question that the Dominator Cam with larger injectors, a tune and a header is very very sweet.Originally Posted by Revolution Motor Works

I meant stock as in S, not JCW. I know there's not much of a difference, but the regular S is still below the JCW in performance. I'd like to find a used JCW for a reasonable price, but it'll take a while to find one.

stock head exhaust port flows 106cfm
JCW is 126 cfm
RMW BVH 180cfm
there isn't much performance gain from the JCW porting
