Well, ther has been a lot of interest in what's going on here regarding this front. I've gotten several calls today about it!

Here are the current developments:

The RMS supercharger kit is going well. We will have the kit with the BMW 6 series water pump that is integrated with the stock ECU ready be the end of next week. So far, at 18psi, the kit is putting out 280BHP. I will have full specs, dyno runs, and pictures available shortly. The Mule is getting this kit and will be testing over the next few weeks for development in the States.

The kit will be a joint venture between RMS and Webb Motorsports - it uses our head/cam, our header/cat-back, our injectors, our supercharger, and the RMS mounting hardware, ECU, water pump, and associated ancillaries.

The pricing will depend on the fluctuation of the Euro, but at current rates, and with shipping costs, it will be in the $5500ish range.

Here is one of the development dyno runs:




A conversion for you - 210KW = 282HP


Here is a shot of the unit with the new electric water pump:



The intercooler you see is the water-air RMS unit we have here in testing. This unit is also downright amazing. It is also available in any color - painted to match the MINI colors.

Here are some more shots of that unit, as well as info on how it works:

You can see the specific core design for the airflow:


And the waterflow:


The kit:


The radiator:


Note the thickness to dissipate heat effectively:


And the intercooler has two supply and return lines, to split the thermal load and prevent heat soak of the thermal mass (the water):


It also uses a Bosch pump which has proven to be reliable on the track.

This unit addresses all of the issues I've seen with water-air units - the thermal mass of the water being to great to dissipate under continuous load has been dealt with using a dual mass system and a correctly sized radiator combined with an optimized pump rate. The pump failures have been addressed with using a high cost Bosch unit. The core issues have been addressed by using a specific unit for this application, not a jacketed stock unit or a gimmicky core.

This unit is available currently, and more numbers will posted on it shortly. The cost is in the $2100 range due to the Euro/Dollar relationship and shipping brokerage/duties.

Feel free to contact us with any other questions you may have!
