Supercharging The Mini - Part 1

In the first of a multi-part series, the boys from Mighty Car Mods kick off a modification they've never done before - Supercharging a classic Mini Cooper. They've got a long way to go (literally) and a lot to learn as they start assembling all the parts they're going to need for this epic project.

Also something to note around Mighty Car Mods: we are normal guys and are not trained mechanics. We like to make interesting car mods and show you how we've gone about it, but we can't promise that anything we show you will work for your particular car, or that you won't harm yourself, someone else, your car or your warranty doing it. Please be safe, be responsible and unless you know what you're doing, do not fool around with very serious machinery just because you've seen us make it look so easy. Talk to a qualified mechanic if you are in any doubt.

For those who are wondering... The likely power output was around 63 bhp, and the Vmaxscart MPI kit will take it to 100 bhp, 58% power increase! (As well as a lot more torque both low and high range)

Lol the tinder joke

[@MrGarycharters]

Fully understand where moog is coming from.

[@tomg2217]

He travelled to the arse end of London JUST for a supercharger? Nice :-) I have to respect the dedication and love for cars.

[@s4n714g000]

I understand what Moog is saying, I learned to drive in a Renault 4 (probably slower than the mini) but had so much fun that the crappy horsepower really didn't bother me.

I paused Fallout 4 for this...

[@TickleFingers]

I take my previous post back....

I truly loved my mini. 1990 Cooper in British Racing Green, and some rust of course. I spent a fortune getting the rust removed, then shoved on a stage 1 kit (straight through pipe, rejet and K&N filter), plus 7x13 Ultralight wheels. I could take on lots of fast cars around the twistys!

[@devinklink852]

Moog, Marty, this section of Mighty Car Mods is very special. The Mini you are showcasing is absolutely beautiful and the project will resonate in a dedicated way to each individual regardless if they are a fan of the car or not. But what really came to mind when I watched this episode and the unveiling of the Mini episode, was my own realization of how well evolved the quality of production your channel has undergo and how the details of quality ranging from picture, editing, lighting, content, and the collaboration of individual talents ( music, AM Auto, personality...) have meshed together to create the quality videos we get to enjoy. Thank you and I look forward to what's to come.

[@Spliteyemoto]

Your videos always impress me guys, production value, musical scores, camera work. You guys genuinely do a great job editing and putting the effort into your videos. But on top of it all, you guys remember to wish people like me a happy birthday every year from the forum and when I have responded, I've actually got responses back from you! Dedication to your fans is an amazing thing. Genuinely love you guys, wish I could meet you when I come down to Australia in December!

[@TomsTurboGarage]

Love it guys!!

[@dannystojanovski28]

You guys are truly awesome, it's incredible how down to earth and humble you are considering how popular you are around the world. Truly an inspirational pair of dudes for me personally, keep up the high quality content boys 👍👌

My grandparents surprised me last year with a used 05 Mini Cooper convertible and I love the thing to pieces! It reminds me of the go kart I had years ago. What the mini lacks in horsepower it makes up for in cornering and considering I have the cheapest tired available, it sticks to the ground. Just last year my uncle and I machined a custom shifter knob out of a chunk of aluminum. I'm very happy that BMW made the standard transmission an option for the mini as well because that adds to the fun factor. On top of that, these little cars do surprisingly well in snowy conditions. My mom has an 08 GMC Acadia SLT with the best set of all season tires available and yet it slides all over the place. And her car is front wheel drive too and we both have open differentials. Don't judge a book by its cover, go for a ride in a mini before you make up your mind!

[@qwasd0r]

I didn't know you were allowed back in England. They put you on that island of yours for a reason, right?

[@FFRS110]

"reliability issues on the bmw mini" sounds about right.

[@noirceur_]

Their passion for the cars, makes Mighty Car Mods who they are, and why we love them.

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]
