Mini Cooper S SC Conversion
1 Attachment(s)
Greeting from the UK. I dont know if you would be interested but I have recently taken an Eaton M45 SC from a Mini Cooper S and fitted it to my 1.6 S Ltd, I had it tuned and dyno'd at 200.5hp at the FW, 170hp at the wheels and 165.7 torque (8.9psi).
I have CAD drawings for the mounting brackets etc and I did a few build threads on mx5nutz here in the UK. Quite a few people in the UK are now doing the conversion as it is cheaper than the JRSC M45 bolt on kit and the fun of doing it yourself. Please note I am not selling the SC conversion, nor will I build it for you but if you want the drawings - They are free!!

cool little retrofit. I'm pretty sure a cooper sc is fairly pricey and not that common here in the states though

Thats a shame, they are quite cheap here in the UK, between £50 - £200 with only delivery milage. Barry |
Damn dude, I just saw that you are running 2 throttle bodies. How is that working out for you?
Also what type of engine management are you running? |

That's a pretty sweet deal. I'll have to keep my eyes open for a cheap mini sc.

Nice work! I make 167hp @ wheels with the JRSC on an 1800 engine, W/A intercooler and 10:1 compression, so you are doing very well!

Cool swap. I have been this close to yanking the SC off Meg's cooper since she got it and throw a 2554 on that bi-ach. I even have a waterpump solution designed. Anyway, nice numbers for 9psi! Very clean install.

Hi great build.
Planning on doing something similar to my 99 NB N/A I have a few questions: 1.did you consider fuel injection to lower temperature instead of Intercooler? 2.do you still have the car with this setup? 3. How's reliability? Thanks, Alex |
A PM would probably be the best way to get in-touch with this guy, although he hasn't logged in since 2013 so you are probably SOL on getting your questions answered.

I'd ban if I wasn't so tired

Maybe he actually replied in 2010 and it only just spat out of the tubes now? :dunno:
