Thats right a GT28RS Disco Potato blowing in to the stock CooperS blower with dual stage Aquamist injection (before and after the blower). It is PowerPaq and EBoost controlled. We are looking for around 300whp on pump gas out of this little 1.6 liter.

 

nice

 

very nice setup. to the cooper

 

cool, are you going to have 2 boost guages so u can moniter whats going on? And how strong are those motors? I cant seem to find nay info on them

 

All silicon charge piping?

 

They have all forged internals. We are going to push it to 30psi on racegas. It has a low 8:1 CR and we run about 22psi on 93 octane.

 

That lil thing will fly. How much do they weigh?

 

i just thought of something, have you tested this yet? Cause the oil return line is really low on the pan, that might cause the oil to back up, and blow out the seals

Yes sir. It is a 6ply nylon reinforced silicone tubing. It will not balloon. Also with the tight compartment, the silicone insulates the charge air. If you look you will see the water injection nozzel in teh mid section.

Yes sir we tested it. We though the same thing, but it is a full ballbearing turbo and has a very little oil requirement. There are no smoking/seal issues. Trust me, we were out flogging it on the AC espressway all last night, dynoing today, and Atco raceway on Thursday.

 

ha cool, just looking out for ya

 

neat. Post some videos of this thing.

 

Nice. They car neat cars!!

I hope I am not hijaking your thread but here are some pics of some mini-cooper head work that Ive see so very offten.



So small and cute

 

Is it really a good idea to have the turbo boosting into the SC?

Wont it cause problems to boost into a booster?

I would think you would want both the turbo and SC boosting into the intake system,
not one into the other into the next..

Just a thought though,
I mean, I think thats how they do it on twinturbo cars(rx7 etc) one small turbo, one big turbo,
small turbo boosts into the IM till 3krpm, then bigturbo takes over and boosts into the IM from then on..

The way this twin charge works is that the blower spools the turbo in 2 ways. The increase engine load/EGT spools the turbine, and the blower suction spools the compressor of the turbo as well. Now when the turbo is up to speed (which takes no time at all) it will blow into the supercharger. The supercharger takes this compressed air and add approx 1/3 over it in boost. It works great. There are some tricks to tuning, but it is totally manage-able. Peak AITs at 23psi with no waterinjection was 130f with water injection we saw 90-100f average. Right now we have the stock pully on and the wastegate on the turbo set to roughly 9psi.

hmm, thats really good,
normal SC non ic is around 200f

so the sc actually helps the turbo spool, and just adds charge to the already charged air. interesting

 

That's freaken awesome. I've always wanted to see someone build up one of these.

 

where did u get that nylon piping?

 

thats gonna be a fun little car

 

good stuff, we have been working on some mini coopers too

 

the mini cooper could be a really cool car,

its biggest downside is that they were marketed to a mostly female, yuppy, or gay(yes gay, live SF for a year and you'll know what i mean) consumer.

The cooper S, with a color matched roof, and no wierd badging, stripes, or flags, and a toned down interior, would be a car I would actually consider buying.

 

The local shop had a dyno day for some coopers. The guy from some colorado company that sells some pulley and exhaust stuff was there.

Actually most of the owners were pretty cool people. Maybe they only represented 5% of the whole mini market.

I see a wide range of mini drivers though.
There is a mini in my office complex with the 17" bbs wheels, some exhaust and lowered. looks pretty cool and its driven by a milf

that is pretty bizzare,
although It kinda fits? I think you're right, the mini does really have a wide array of drivers.

 

Retro drivers. The same people that buy PT cruisers, beetles, and so on.

Lezbo? I believe in same sex marrages, as long as both girls are HOT!
