This is awesome! such a fun little car. But I can't find the diverter valve you installed on this car. TurboSmart doesn't have it listed for the Mini. Could you please share a link for the Blowoff valve?
I have a R59 Roadster too, and I also have a AEM FRONT STRUT BAR, K&N Full Air Induction kit, Full Scorpion exhaust system, upgraded coils pack, but om far from done....... fully enjoy driving it, thou my everyday Car is a 1 Series BMW 1.6 Turbo!
I’m very partial to the 04 mini s so much fun on the back roads and in the mountains. Years ago wife and I were in the Puget Sound Mini Club so much fun on the rallies . Still own the car just barely over 101,000 miles yes original. Oil every 10,000 and did away with run flats the price is so ridiculous. Anyway bought it used in 07 and still runs like the very first day. One thing I’m not sure about our mechanics say the clutch pedal is too tight. I drove tractor trailer for a living and to me it’s like butter. Just saying and it’s original. Love it wife will never let me sell it . I’m 75 and can still get chirping in first through third
the DV recirculates metered air back into the intake. the VtA (dump) valve sends extra boost pressure to atmosphere and makes noise. The DV is best on modern turbo engines because of the design of the intake. A VtA valve may trigger a CEL due to the ECU not seeing expected values
Hey Zac.... just viewed this Top 5 Mods ....love your style, love your work. Ya remind me of my eldest son. Mate - Ias love tha AEM Torsion Strut in that Candy Apple Red and I really dig the short shifter. I have a 2011 Cooper S Clubman ive recently bought so Ill be doing all these mods - except the blow off valve .....reckon im a bit old for that stuff - ha ha ha . I have the engine / car matched K&N Peformance Air Filter Kit and im about to get the engine a Stage 1 remap. Can I ask for the part numbers of the Torsion Bar & the name / part number of the short shifter please. Or ??? can you supply me ----- freight to NSW, Australia - Zip code 2261 ?? Keep up the VIds, Great stuff - Thanks, Dave
I have the AFE exhaust on mine and I highly DO NOT recommend it. Muffler Input AND output were both way out of whack, not even remotely straight. AFE sent me a new muffler and while slightly better was still jacked up. I ended up cutting the tips off, squaring everything up, and welding the the tips back on. And the drone was crazy, I added a resonator to tame that. The ONLY benefit to that exhaust is that it really does sound nice! I REALLY wish I had just bought the Magnaflow, been time and money ahead.
Idk what he's got but a stock one is just as good. With a high flow intake filter you will hear the blowoff PLENTY loud, and it actuates the same, and more reliably.
MINI is still a UK company. All three plants that build a MINI are in the UK. Swindon, Hams Hall and Oxford. BMW is the parent that signs the paychecks.
I have a e84 x1 where the turn signal and sometimes the third brake light would randomly flicker on even though it off. Not looking for a full diagnosis but just wondered if you have ever seen that before
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻, Awesome video guys ! I used to have a 330i M sport bmw, which had the b48 engine installed on it, that is used on the newer minis with some slight variations.
So I’ve got all this, I’m lookin go for 300whp. I’ve gone slightly bigger turbo, and started with a jcw. I’m wondering what’s the “recipe” to get to such a goal, reliably if possible.
@@robinkim7711 I've heard people having issues with these TurboSmarts on the minis. They say they can't get them "adjusted" right. These guys don't mention any adjustment. Do you know if this product is not ideal or intended for the mini? Wondering if I should go with the GFB DV+, but this TurboSmart sounds WAY better!
The blow off valve sounds amazing 🤩
Please share the blow off valve and the exhaust system - what and where did You get it! Love the sound!
Love the Mini content, such a fun little car. I have a 05 R53, after my muffler delete the exhaust burbles are nuts 😂.
Nice man! This is why I look forward to getting my coffee everyday, windows and sunroof down. 🌬
I love these mini vids!
Wish i can drive it, seems a lot of fun
Happy New years team!!
Do you have a link for the blow off valve?
fr🥸

Blow of valve sound cool but the cost the mini boost in between shifts making the car slower.
Awesome job guys!!!… love the pipes and the rear lights….where do we get the lights?
Reach out to our team through email at INFO@KIES.COM and our guys can help you out!

Happy new year, find a hybrid turbo downpipe intercooler and a tune and then it will be a enough fast car!!!
Cheers from Germany!!

I have a 2012 R58. Throw a nm motoring module on that and it will really run!!! Good vid.
Nice guys .. Great vid
Excellent video, i will soon put a forge dump valve, a BMC filter and the Union Jack rear lights on my R57 ;-) Thanks
A super talented BMW /MINI lover...keep up excellent work 👏👍👌
I want to get a Mini Black Roadster hardtop. I hope to find a good person like you that knows how it runs.
i just got one and its a lot of fun
Happy New Year
Hey there, do you have compatible parts for the Mini Cooper R60 2014? Thanks!
Link to diverter?
Where Can I Get The Parts?
What was your budget on these mods? Any chance you can edit the description and add them in? Cheers!
How do these handle in the snow?
What’s the blow up valve that you are using , what brand ?
Can you do a series on the BMW F20/F21 N13 cars next? keep it up!
Which version of the blow off value is this? Do you have a link? Thanks I have a 2012 Mini R58 coupe
I see turbosmart has the diverter valve and the blow off valve, what would be the difference and why pick one over the other?
the DV recirculates metered air back into the intake. the VtA (dump) valve sends extra boost pressure to atmosphere and makes noise. The DV is best on modern turbo engines because of the design of the intake. A VtA valve may trigger a CEL due to the ECU not seeing expected values
DV is best for this application.
Nice
When he says "we are the instructions"😂
No links or list of what parts you used?
What do they handle on a stock block? About 300hp?
Where do i buy parts from your video please, blow off and short shifter are the main ones
do you have a direct link for the parts " I can't find them "
hi what was the color of the reverse light wire you tapped into? thanks

My 2012 R56 is electric assist steering.
Also my 2012 R59 Roadster.

Great video! Can you write the model of the short shifter please
👌🏽 nice. Blow off valve brand ??

My mini was built in Austria sooooooo 🤷
Some convertibles and Clubman were until recently built in Netherlands. New electrics are going to be built in China.
They build the engines at Hams Hall (Birmingham)
Where you get thr rear lights?
What year F57 do those Union Jack lights fit? Mine is a 2019 but I don’t have LED lights on my model.
discharge line link, pop-off valve and direct suction with filter
What kind of afe exhaust did you get exactly
I want this blow off valve... how can I find , I live in Puerto Rico

Which turbosmart BOV is that and will it work in my 2015 F56?
So I’ve got all this, I’m lookin go for 300whp. I’ve gone slightly bigger turbo, and started with a jcw. I’m wondering what’s the “recipe” to get to such a goal, reliably if possible.
Your rods are at risk at that power.
Hydraulic steering?
Is the N18 reliable??
Does the blow off work on the auto box?
yes, as you are venting excess boost. however, a newer DV is best in this application.
Are you confident in those cone intake filters? Do you maintain them often?
Yeah you toss them and buy new ones 🤷♂️
Do you still sell these parts for the mods??
What reliability?
Mini cooper are meant for straight line race but a track car. The mini jcw gp is more of a drag race car
That BOV made my car misfire so much I had to take it out
Yup, n14/n18 engines hate VTA valves, the single best valve is the recirc from GFB
❤
Where can I buy the blow off valve?
its on turbosmart but im also unsure on which one it is if u find out let me know please
Turbosmart

I miss the super charger whine...
Did you say Mini and Reliability? 😅
Reliability 😢😅😅😅😅
Amigo hablas muy rápido y no te entiendo todo lo q hablas. Y disculpa 😅
The supercharged engine sounds better
