I am considering buying the JCW Intake. The JCW Intake alone is too expensive for me. The JCW Intake and Injector package is not much more expensive than the Intake alone. Is anyone interested in getting the JCW Package injectors? Splitting the cost would be a good deal for both of us. Package is ~$500 total /2 = $250 for the injectors.
Injectors alone ~$400
Intake alone ~$400

Let me know if you are interested.

I had 3 people PM me around the time that this was first posted. It is earmarked for the ghui (1st person who PMed). But if that falls through I will contact the others who have replied to this thread.

I'll let you all know how it went when the deal is done anx the parts are installed.

Sounds like a really good idea, I wasn't looking for the injectors but now its something to think about. what area are you in and have you thought about how to exhange money?

 

Classic MINI has the Prices as follows:
JCW Intake List Price = $475
NAM Discount = $427.50
JCW Intake and Injector Upgrade Kit List = $560
NAM Discount = $504

Figure $30 Shipping to me and the Injectors to you = $534 /2 = $267 each.

That is a good deal considering otherwise the 4 Injectors are $100 each!!!

 

I will take you up on the offer PM me or email me borgioli74@aol.com

 

I'm interested in the whole upgrade. Couldn't find it on the Classic Mini site. Mind sending a link? muchas gracias

 

I'm interested in the injectors if the other fella doesn't come through. I have cash in hand right now and can fedex you a cashiers check tomorrow.

I asked first and am still waiting for a response....

 

BTW, just a side note. Classic MINI doesn't give the discount on JCW parts

 

Great idea...Is there an ECU remap that comes with the upgrade? If so, how does that get "split"? (Or am I totally wrong about how it all works )

 

The ECU remap (required for the larger injectors) is "property" of the dealer and is only applied if the complete upgrade kit is installed.

 

Also, Airbox alone is $425 and the injectors alone are $525 (either that or $520)

The link to the Intake is : http://www.johncooper.co.uk/JohnCoop...me/default.asp?
then click on the "WORKS TUNING KIT" box 1/2 way up on the right side. The Injectors are no shown on that page, but they are known by word-of-mouth and asking the Parts department about what is in the "2005 JCW Intake/Injector Upgrade Kit".

 

I too am considering buying the JCW Intake. Would be interested in splitting the cost of the JCW Upgrade - intake for me, injectors for you. Let me know if interested.

 

I sent you a PM.

 

MINI of Sterling has JCW Intake & Injectors for $476.

 

I am interested I need the injectors!

 

Miniac,

Please explain. If I install the injectors myself, will the dealer remap the ECU, and if so, will there be a cost? Also, if the dealer will remap, can I drive to the dealer with new injectors using the old remap? If all of these are negative, then it seems that the upgrade is a dealer only job.

 

get the large injectors and a MTH remap

 

Just installed my injectors! What a rush with the GIAC software!!

 

If you install the upgrade kit (air box and injectors) on a JCW MCS, your dealer should do the remap. They may charge you to do the remap if you bought the kit elsewhere and the kit won't be covered under warranty. I don't know if it hurts to drive to the dealers with the old mapping.

 

Are you talking about the 2005 210hp JCW mapping versus the previous 200hp mapping?

 

Yes :smile:

 

Thanks for the info. There's a new thread today re: JCW air intake. There is a vacuum canister that operates the intake door at WOT. DO you know if this is part of the upgrade?

The dealer is charging about $400.00 above the parts price to do the install. Sounds like I may be stuck unless they'll be gracious about doing a free remap.

 

The canister is built into the air box ...




The official installation instructions estimate 1.0 hours of labor but most dealers are charging 1.5 hours ...

I would say that 1.5 hours is about right if you do it yourself.

The hardest part is making the vacuum connection at the bypass valve body. Also make sure that you have a full selection of Torx drivers/bits. 20, 25, 30, etc.

Also the crimp connectors that they provide (1 plus a spare) are too big and you should use a smaller blue type.
