Lost vocation you have !! Very funny. Imagine calling up to trade it in!! Thanks for the laugh!

Well, it's been a year and a day since I got the S and my Cherished warranty has expired.

So, a busy weekend on eBay and MINI2 and I've a 15% reduction pulley and a GTT airbox on their way - and I got the pair of them for under £200, bargaintastic!

Got to get a new smaller drive belt and some new plugs and I'm all set for a session of fun and games installing it all. Hopefully that will get me up around the 200bhp mark and more importantly it will sound fantastic!!!!

The JCW 'Works' drive belt should be ok with 15% pulley , I will check the length of one Tomorrow if We have one in stock and you can get it in your local motor factor from the measurement , you will also need a good remap with that lot , and We always replace the tensioner when We are doing 15% pulleys .

That's great Ger, I will be looking into a remap later in the summer - still might have a few more things to be added depending on funds.

When you say you replace the tensioner do you mean the whole assembly?

[irlmin]

Yes Niall ,
The tensioner complete is part number 11287509476 and the belt size for the JCW belt is 6 rib x 1374 , this should be fine for your pulley .

Nice one Niall
Snap on the parts i want as well!
Enjoy the new bits.

[Step_7]

Parts arrived already - from a private MINI2 sale and eBay. They could teach some of the commercial sellers a thing or two about service!

Updates as the bits get fitted hopefully in the next few weeks.

Super cool

[Step_7]

Couldn't wait.... I know I'll have to take it off again to do the pulley but I fitted the Airbox this afternoon.... The noise is every bit as good as I had hoped - louder supercharger whine and more exhaust popping....

Can't wait for the pulley now!

[MiniMpi]

Very happy to hear about the airbox Niall as that is the same one i want and hoped it would sound like you describe
ENJOY!

I read an article about a MINI Cooper S JCW GP that was given the complete works by GT Tuning, including replacing the supercharger with a turbo to give 300bhp. I hope you enjoy the sound of the GTT airbox.
Will the new airbox up the bhp?

[Step_7]

I wouldn't expect the airbox to add very much - maybe a couple of Hp - it already had a Pipercross panel filter in the standard box. Worth it for the sound anyway.
