You should ad a "Wide-mouth" Carbon fiber Scoop. I did that an cut of the "metal-lip" which was blocking the free Airflow passage....HUGE improvement....and I can strongly recommend to install an Oil-catcher so you can get rid of the hot and oily air from the Valvecover. That also will prevent sticky carbon-build up in the intake ports.
But you got yourself one fast little bastard...I like it 👍🏻🛠.
hows the quality of the CNT downpipe? I'll be getting my ECU back from Mario tomorrow loaded with Stage 2. I'll be running the low boost map until I grab a DP.
Michael Bruns the CNT DP was okay but I had to mess with it a little. I used a hammer to put a slight divot in it to make it easier to bolt in. The rear bolt engine side was very inaccessible without my Hammersmithing on the work bench first. Also used a cutting wheel to cut part of the bottom mounting tabs easier to install. I did this because it was just myself installing it do I couldn't align both top and bottom at the same time but I recommend having 2 people to make everything easier.

So my plan is get a down pipe for my car with a k&n cold air intake with a redline 360 front mount inter cooler and possibly a stage 2 tune either with manic or a m7 tune. Sounds like a good setup? also driving a 6 speed manual 2012 countryman cooper s All4 (R60)
This is a mean build. Idk if it’s still around. But that’s one bad ass build
Check engine light on normal?
Hey bro I have an n18 just brought a AEM induction kit the heatshield doesn't seem to fit as it sits on the rocket cover. How did you manage to fit yours think it was designed for the n14
They make intakes specifically for the n14 as well as the n18 I believe
To add to this, my filter keeps slipping off wondering if I’m fitting it right N18
What is the apprx. horsepower you get? Did you measure your 100km/h-200km/h times?
Sounds good, how is it running today?
Runs like a top. In fact it's recently gone tripped 2000 miles round-trip twice (so 4k) in 2 months without any issues. It's been about 25k miles since these upgrades and I've had zero issues.
Where u from
im having issues with forge bov, its not whoosing as it should, any ideas?
Hey man just watched this wanted to say she sounds super clean and aggressive really nice build, but was also curious how you got your heat shield on with the stock mini plastic guard? I just installed my aem intake but was having trouble getting that shield on until it got dark and cold and I gave up for the night.
Just wanted to if you still have this car? If so, any issues with reliability with all those mods?
Sick man, where did you get the air intake from? /how much did you pay?
Hello, great video. I'm new to mini and I just got a mini 2013 cooper s. I was thinking of doing a mode 2 on it. Question on the AEM ram air, I notice some folks say that the heat from the turbo will heat up the air. How's the heat shield? does it really work on keeping the air cool or is it best getting a turbo blanket instead of using AEM heat shield?
I ended up wrapping the intake on the hood with heat reflective tape and between the shield and the tape it seems fine. When the car is moving the air is consumed pretty quickly so the heat soak is minimal. Compared to an intake that pulls air only from around it in the engine bay I would say it's still better. I won't say it's night and say better but definitely better especially during cooler weather months like right now. I would say a turbo blanket may be just as fine as a heat shield but I never looked into it myself.
@@suchtragedy Thanks for your input.
Check engine light from the Intake?
Manic tune removed CIL for intake and downpipe related codes. If there's a CIL in the vid (don't recall there being one) it wasn't related to the tune or mods, I think it was maintenance or TPMS sensor related.
I just installed one of these but the top cover doesn’t fit well on mine,did you alter it by any chance? I have an N18 engine like yours,have you had any problems with heat from the heat shield? I’ve heard people had top covers melting because of the Aem heat shield..
how is driving is bad weather(snow&heavy rain) with the ram air scoop?
How do u have an n18 in a 2011 car??
Too bad it's an automatic
What a docheee
I love driving the 6 speed Manuel when I'm driving my daily it's so 😴 boring
Looks like a really good set of mods to do.
I have an 2011 R56 but my radio/odometer doesn't look like that. Did you replace it
It's the OEM NAV package.
Two questions... How do you like your quick jack? And what light do you have attached to your hood for engine work?
Jerald Haddox Quick Jack is the 2nd best garage purchase after my 72 inch harbor freight tool box. It's a major difference maker when it comes to working on things and well worth the money. The light is an underhood light that is extendable and latches to the hood and is cordless with internal lithium batteries. There are various ones all over but the one I got is made by ATD Tools model 80355. The way its made also makes it easy to set up under the car as well.
Mike W. Awesome thanks for the reply! I need to pick up a quick jack, Ramps aren’t doing it anymore so I’m gonna have to pick that up. I’m hope it jacks it up higher than the ramps do.
Mike W. Do the quick jack give you plenty of room to work underneath? I’m not a small guy 6’3” and I’m trying to end up doing most of the maintenance on my Mini
Jerald Haddox absolutely. Lifts around 2 feet off the ground. I'm a big guy too and I can still get underneath easily and actually still move my arms around easily and have things more than 6 inches from my face using a creeper as well. None of my jacks or ramps can raise the car as high as this lift jack can.
How is fuel consumption offer tuning stag 2 !?
No noticeable difference tbh
From what I have read the K03 turbo is a major sticking point. Are you not running it way to hot at the psi you are putting through it? Surely it needs a hybrid or k04?
Owen Jones I turn the tune down to 25% for daily driving. It's a commuter, mostly in town. But essentially you're correct - definitely recommend this in addition to an upgraded turbo like a k03 super 42 hybrid or k04. Otherwise plan on the stock k03 to get tired and wear out if you push it hard all the time.
How were you able to install the heatshield over top of the motor head cover? (If that what it's called, the thing that says mini on it). Mine won't fit. Did your guys dremel it out or did you get longer spacers? I have the same kit and in the last pic in the instructions it says to leave it off. But I want it on. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
ryontherocks I actually don't remember. I know it was a bitch and I think I had to get creative with some stuff from my junk nuts and bolts bin. Issue with it sitting flush all the way down with the stock cover in place. When I remember I'll try to take it apart to look and see if I can jog my memory.
Mike W. Thanks. I still haven't got it yet.
My r58 has all of this
When it rains where the water passes .... does not reach the filter cone, right?
Danthier Alcántara water doesn't make it to the filter at all.
How much did u spend ?
Intercooler, boost/charge pipes, downpipe, and exhaust = around 1k. The AEM cold air intake I had before the other bolt ons and that was around 400. The Manic Tune I got from M7speed for 825. So total around 2200 for all mods thus far.
thanks man awesome build!
So what's the point of a cold air or ram intake if the turbo is going to make the air hotter than ambient?
With the AEM hear shield along with wrapping the intake on the hood with heat reflective tape (added later) it seems to be decently effective at keeping air cool. At speed it's consuming air faster than the heat from the turbo can heat it as it passes through the intake.
@@suchtragedy Have you actually tested the air temp past the intercooler?
HOw much horse power and torque does this beautiful mini make, im trying to replicate this build with quicksilver exhaust/miltek catless dp
Depending on mods and some tune options the tune is supposed to add 30-60hp over stock, so between 205-245 HP and 235-285 ft-lbs torque. I opted for the optional SPS switch that allows me to set 25/50/100% tune or stock map switching so I can calm the car down for daily driving and crank it up for track if I want. I also went with one step colder plugs as recommended when making more boost than stock. Good luck with your build :)
Any other recommendations? I really appreciate it, I saw some mini's with the NGK Plugs, ill probably get those, a big ebay intercooler because budget, the two silicone pipes i plan on doing for the resonator deletes. Do you have a rear sway bar or any after market suspension? Also, how does your car feel traction and grip wise with your tires, I was thinking of going from 205 to 215 tires for more comfort/grip for when I add the manic tune
I have not done any sway bars or suspension upgrades as this is my fiance's car and she likes it how it is. The car definitely has traction issues from a dig or in the wet and traction control kicks on quite a bit if you don't have it completely turned off. But once you're about 30 mph cruising around it isn't too bad and hooks okay. I am running OEM size 205 Continental Extreme Contact DWs and they hook up rather well. Going 215s should help if you go that route. In regards to ebay intercoolers just remember that the fit may not be exactly perfect. The one I got fit okay, but I had to remove the front oem bash bar to make fitment then once I put the bumper back on the stepped elevation of the intercooler fit nicely behind it. The intercooler did have an extra top mounting tab that was not needed/in the way so I cut it off with a die grinder and called it a day. Using silicon hoses made it easier for fitment as well because the inlet and outlet piping of the ebay cooler wasn't exact in the end so I needed the hose flexibility there to get a good secure hose fit. I don't think it would have worked if I didn't change out of those pipes and stuck with the OEM ones. Honestly the most difficult thing to install was the downpipe. It required me to put the mini in "radiator support service position" in order to gain enough clearance to remove the heatshield and pull out the catalytic converter. This requires you unbolt many things up top and then down below and then pulling out the front bumper with attached headlights, radiator, fans, etc about 2 inches away from the car. I tried removing everything without doing this the first time and wasted hours of time trying to get at bolts with stupid extensions and swivels one at a time when I could have gotten them all done within a couple hours tops start to finish.
Nice setup, the AEM heat shield not fit with the engine cover on, how do you make it fit?
Paul Helden I’m also looking to know how he did that. Longer screws maybe?
@@jaredpeters950 I just fix it like that, longer bolts
I honestly don't remember, it's been a while and the mini has since moved on. I recall that it took a slightly longer bolt but aligning it was a bit of a pain but once it threaded I never wanted to touch it again lol
what did you do to be able to rev the engine higher than 4k RPM? if i may ask
it is prob part of the tune
Any problem with the manic tune so far ? Thanks
GamerBros 645 nope, still going strong. I will note that I opted for the SPS switch when I bought the tune and have it at the 50% threshold. The stage 2 tune at full boost seemed a bit excessive for the stock turbo.
Where’s the oil catch cans man?
Added later. Also had to plug PCV on back side of the head to make the catch can effective.
Any trouble during hard rainy/snowy days?
No issues at all with rain. Never driven it in snow, I garage it in winter.
Awesome job Mike!
For me personally the first thing you should change on any car for better performance is big pot brakes and coilovers. people always say but I just want it to go faster, but believe me, brakes and suspension make one of the biggest differences to driving fast.
Agreed, got Wilwoods on all 4s now. I should get coilovers sooner or later but since it's my lady's car it tends to get love after I work on my other stuff.
These minis really do handle so damn well. I want a little more power but increasing grip and maneuverability is what I really want.
Mo POWAH BABEEE
loving it. the straight pipe sounds amazing. hows the drone on the highway? I've got a 09 r56 and I'm looking at exhaust options so i can hit stage 2
I just went catless with the stock exhaust with the 2nd cat deleted as well, and I have yet to experience any drone up to 80 mph, I have a clubman s and it is supper raspy
Whats the resonator delete pipe on the left hand side called? Not the one going to the intercooler. Great vids by the way, subscribed.
It's called a boost pipe, basically what I bought:

Thanks for your reply. Just another question if I may; I'm thinking of getting the CNT exhaust, did you get a resonated downpipe or just the pipe. How is the noise on the highway, any drone?
Also, did you get pops and bangs from Manic?
The CNT kit has a resonator but it's still pretty loud. There's no drone except a little while in Sport mode at cruising speed only. I did not get BBQ mode from Manic but surprisingly it still has pops and bangs in sport mode when you come off throttle so it works out perfectly :)
..automatic
This car is a daily and goes through heavy city, stop and go traffic with plenty of hills. My lady would rather preserve her ankle and I'd rather not be replacing clutches :D
Did you noticed a big change with the intercooler?
Francisco Lafont I did all the upgrades at once. I'd say unless you get a tune you won't notice much difference just doing the intercooler but I still recommend swapping it out. The stock one is a piece of garbage.
Thank you for the info!
i tried to find the cnt exhaust in ebay but i cant find it, do have any link bro?
Gilbert Rausa hmm can't find it either. But here's the kit I got from another site, same price point: www.maperformance.com/products/cnt-racing-catback-exhaust-system-mini-cooper-r56-s-07-09-cb-07mini?variant=5339168515&gclid=Cj0KCQiAs9zSBRC5ARIsAFMtUXGyLemMT-wXWpSj-1GE-1EaorW9CBmFhV4FAwsg_NIBQpUrfpILP54aAmLHEALw_wcB
suchtragedy oh yes! Thanks man appreciate it.

how much power @ the wheel did you make with that setup?
Never got it on a dyno, but Manic advertises 30 to 50hp over stock depending on mods for their stage 2 flash. You provide a list of mods (more specific if you can) and they flash based on that.
@@suchtragedy Hey, any contact for Manic?
@@quest4019 It appears the company was dissolved last year. find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08182550
What is your head unit with the digital display?
That's the OEM navigation head unit
does the heatshield cause problems for the plastic parts underneath ?
There really isn't any plastic underneath. Underneath is the turbo itself and the original heat shield for the catalytic converter (now just straight downpipe). The only plastic thing touching it is part of that engine cover and it's fine.
Whats the modification list mate? Sorry to bother u
Last I checked mod list was in the description :D
nice MINI! have you had any issues with the turbo heat shield?
No issues other than it was a pain to install mostly because it's meant to fit an older style N18 motor that has a slightly different plastic top cover shape. I can't remember how I got it on there but it required a little bit of finesse to line up the bolts.
What you did for the poping sound I have the same exhaust?
Carlos Juarez car pops in sport mode with the mods listed on manic stage 2 tune
Mike W. Ok u did the tune! Cool cool
What is your middle speedo replaced with? Been looking for a good digital one forever.
David Audet middle speedo is stock, not sure what what you're seeing as different?
It is the factory SAT NAV
@@suchtragedy i think he mistook it for the 1st gen
What clutch do you have?
