Does Weiand still have those fairly cheap full tunnel ram kits with carbs and linkage included anymore?

We need to meet before you blow your engine

You could go the route I did and stick a TVS900 on it.

If I may make a suggestion, I’d go with the 15%. the 17% pushes too much heat and spins the blower too fast.

mine is also a daily. 155k and rmw tuned.

*shameless plug* i have a FB group you’re welcome to join. 4,000 active members all R53 owners. Good info and trolling.

I’m not active on FB, but I’ll join the group if I’m back.

RWM is too far away from me, I’m on the east coast. I do have DetroitTuned near me.

What mods do you have? I can’t seem to find any of your posts regarding ze Mini.

I haven’t been active here for a while. I got bored at work today and logged in.

Jan will remote tune.

Mods:

TVS900 w/ 70mm pulley

RMW Dominator Cam

550cc injectors

DDMWorks CAI

Alta diverter

DeatschWerks DW65v Fuel Pump

Megan Racing coilovers (will be replaced soon)

R56 JCW Brembos with G-Loc GS-1 pads

Custom built exhaust

Rota RB (i know. Rota)

and 3 AEM gauges with a custom pod.

Car made like no power because stock head and header and the head is getting tired from high mileage. 208whp is ok I guess. Long goal is 320whp.

I only did the TVS because my M45 was dying and I was on my third used unit.
I’m sure I’m missing stuff.

That’s a nice build sheet! I’m guessing you will be going with the Jesus head.

Isn't the TVS also supposed to run a 55mm pulley? I've heard it pushes 24psi!

I will be going with a grand am combo and a jesus head.

The TVS is very capable of that but on a stock ecu/head and bottom end a 65-70mm is really your limit. I chose 70 because I knew I wouldn’t gain much from the 65 without extra stuff.

Nice! Hope you get to 320whp.

I can’t wait to do stuff to the Mini :) (I’ll start full-time in 2 weeks)

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I know the platform pretty well.

Thanks! I appreciate it. I’m new to the Mini, got her last September.

I wanna get close to mod mini’s R53 build . That seems like a good car/track car.

Kurt is a cool dude.

You can do 240-250whp on a stock bottom if its healthy. I know guys running 270+ on a stock bottom.

I’ d focus more on handling and braking before anything though. Colin at Greene Performance sells a wicked set of custom built coilovers. Grab a rear sway, s ticky tires and good pads/rotors/fluids and you’ll be cruising along.

I did install Centric Cryo vented front rotors with Hawk HPS(for now ) and a 19mm Hotchkiss rear swaybar (I’m planning to get the 22mm MadnessMini in the near future ). I have 16in X-lites with Indy 500s for now, if I’m able to get a set of 17in rims i’ll go for PS4S or Cup2 (min is 215/45R17 for those ).

Thanks for the coilover’s tip!

I’ve got 215/45/17 PSS. They have been alright. I think the biggest issue is you can’t run super wide on these cars. I’ll be going Re71r next.

I remember reading that someone had 225 and they were rubbering.
