@@KurtisSaiyo put it in the oven as high as possible. No instructions, but if you heat it, it will expand very slightly, so will make it slide on slightly easier. Same theory works for something metal being inserted, but instead you freeze it to shrink it slightly
Have you checked the bypass valve (located near throttle body under the right hand supercharger horn, these cause running issues when the spring goes bad but you won't get a direct code out of it, on the come down in revs thay tend to bounce open and closed and if they fail they stay open directing most of the air the wring way
Supercharger is serviced and all gaskets changed in the next video. No codes come up which is annoying as it doesn’t help finding the source of the problem. Don’t know how long it’s been sat for as I bought it through an auction
Bit late on this, I got an r53 back and "running" which was sat for 2 years Looking to do all servicing myself, any tips on things to look out for? 95k miles
@@joshgeorge931 still working on it! It’s much better than it was, I just don’t feel it’s 100%. Work and family life has kind of got in the way of progress recently!
If what my son Richard has told me about your mini and you suggested it runs lumpy I should think your cat is blocked if your lucky and careful you might be able to remove and flush out but don't forget to check the O2 sensors for lumpy running is it over fueling maybe ? Good luck great vid.
Thank you for the advice! I’ve recently seen that if one of the supercharger gaskets / seals is leaking can also cause the same symptoms. There maybe a video coming soon! 😉
@@captbarb6642 just been speaking to Richard, got a couple of other things to try now, if neither of them work, I might have to borrow your diagnostic skills!! 😁
Bought an r53 project during the week, searched r53 project on here and found your channel. Grear work, subbed and will work through your vids... 😎👍
If they help one person, it makes me feel it was worth while making it! Good luck with your project!
22:44 what temperature did you heat the sproket? (Also, where did you find the instructions to heat the sproket?)

@@olliesgarage thanks for the reply! Great walk-through by the way. Were you concerned about annealing or otherwise altering any heat treatment?
Very good video showing how to do this job.
Thank you!
Bravo champion 😊

I would also suggest doing Maintenance on ur Supercharger.
Is there any codes when you were idling??
How long was this Mini sitting b4 you bought it??

that vaccum line to the inlet manifold will keep falling off, you will need to zip tie it or use a small hose clamp to secure it.
I have since replaced the pipe, seems to be a very common issue!
@@olliesgarage did you figure out what the problem was?

@@olliesgarage well good luck on finding the issues, I bet it'll be something easy and simple causing all the stress 🤣
Front wheel drive BMW great cars.Your have lots of fun when finished.look at that dodgy flywheel.
Nice job pro
hi there Did you found the problem at the end? Looks like i have the same issue . Thanks
I ended up changing a few parts and everything I did seemed to improve the car. There are videos on everything that I have done
@@olliesgarage ok thanks. i have this massive metal noise at around 3000rpm.
and a very bad hot start. cold al is ok but warm it start very badly.
Loose or very worn DMF flywheel bolts/springs?
How did you manage to use that pulley kit to get the crank pulley off, I can't work out how as none of the bolts seem to be right
I used bolts that were in the timing kit
Ky esht vertet motori toyota??!

Is there alot of heat under the car engine area .
A friend has the same symptoms on his BMW 320i and he's now on lump mode .

Sounds like there's a break in the air intake rubber boot on your car.
Hey don’t suppose you fancy reselling the timing chain toolkit do you :)
It’s on eBay!
@@olliesgarage can’t find it. Has it gone already :). Or could you post a link pls
