Hampton Roads Club Mini

The Ulitmate goal of Project ///Ms[/i] is street friendly 250 WHP and 200 WTQ.  I believe this is achieveable without stepping up to a twin charge kit.  I'm going to use this thead to log my progress.

Lets start what I have so far:



A High Density Induction Cold Air Intake with an Alta tube.



A Helix RDR 19% Pulley (going to a 17% to keep IAT's down at high RPM)



0% Crank Pully from E-bay for $30



A beautifull Invidia Exhaust



JCW 380 Injectors



OBX Header mated to the Stock Cat.




This is the Head that I worked with Abacus Racing for several months to get it just right, coupled with a Shrick cam the power is simply AMAZING!  I can say that this is the "Next Step" in power to after the pulley!



Spec Stage 3+ Clutch Kit



UUC Lightened flywheel (12.75 Lbs)

This clutch/flywheel combo is GREAT and exceeded all expectations!  Most High performance Clutches mixed with a lightweight flywheel is un-managable for street use, but awsome on the track.  For me that wasn't an option, so after much re-search I've found this combo and crossed my fingers.  The end result is a reliable HP (can handle up to 420 lbs of tq ) clutch that maintains street drivability.

The next big mod is going to be an Aftercooler from:

When all is completed I'm thinking of haveing John from Lucky Dog Garage do the final tune for me.  Right now I have MTH but they are un-able to produce a High Performance tune that I need.  Don't get me wrong MTH is a great product and served me well, but at the level my mini is at only a good Dyno Tune will suffice.

I am going to continue to edit this thread as I finish up the Project.

I can't wait to see this all work out either. It is going to be awesome. The sound should be unreal too!

Hmm...I'm sure I can find someone local to port it for much less then m7 wants...A friend of mine got the one in his lightning done for 2-300.  Thanks!

got an e=mail back from LDG:
"my initial reaction is that it's a bit of terd polishing. The
real issue with that supercharger is the way it beats the air up at
high rpms-over 14,000. This happens when a pulley with a greater reduction than 15% is used and is not addressed by porting. Porting does increase airflow, don't get me wrong, but I don't see where it will make much difference in this case."

Sounds like a Turbonator would come in handy!

Just loaded my mini on the transport and is heading to so-cal  :twisted:

realistically, probably about a month before I get it back...transport times, plus the work getting done --  :twisted:

There's something solid to this but it ain't science.
