THE HUMAN DSG! 430HP MINI COOPER TURBO REVIEW
#NEVERLIFT #MINITURBO #SENT
New Mini Info
All Mini models since 2001 have different variants, including One (entry-level), Cooper, Cooper S (sporty), and John Cooper Works (JCW) (high-end).
The hatchback/hardtop Mini was the first model of the new generation Mini, introduced in 2001, and was back then known as simply Mini. It was available in Cooper, Cooper S and One variations at launch. In many European markets, the Mini One was powered by a 1.4-litre I4[37] version of the Tritec engine but all other petrol powered Minis used the 1.6-litre I4 version. The Cooper S and JCW models included a supercharger intake system. This generation of minis was the only production model to have one, replaced by a turbocharger from the second generation onwards.[38][39]
The names Cooper and Cooper S followed the names used for the sportier version of the classic Mini, which in turn come from the involvement of John Cooper and the Cooper Car Company. The Cooper heritage was further emphasised with the John Cooper Works (JCW) range of tuning options that are available with the Mini. John Cooper also created a one-off racing model of the Mini Cooper S named the Mini Cooper S Works. This car featured many extras which help to improve performance, such as a racing exhaust and air filter as well as uprated suspension. The car also had one-of-a-kind 17-inch (430 mm) racing wheels.[40]
The Mk I Mini One, Cooper and Cooper S used some version of the reliable, Brazilian-built Tritec engine, co-developed by Chrysler & BMW; the Mini One D used a Toyota-built 1ND-TV diesel engine. In August 2006, BMW announced that future engines would be built in the UK, making the car essentially British-built again; final assembly took place at Oxford, and the body pressings were made in nearby Swindon at BMW's Swindon Pressings Ltd subsidiary.
The last Mk I variant was the Mini Cooper S with John Cooper Works GP Kit: a light-weight, quasi-race-prepped John Cooper Works model. Hand-finished by Bertone in Italy, it was offered as a limited-production run of 2,000 cars during the 2006 model year, with 444 of those originally intended for the UK market (although ultimately, 459 were sold).
Mini (stylised as MINI)[1] is a British automotive marque founded in 1969, owned by German automotive company BMW since 2000, and used by them for a range of small cars assembled in the United Kingdom, Austria and the Netherlands. The word Mini has been used in car model names since 1959, and in 1969 it became a marque in its own right when the name "Mini" replaced the separate "Austin Mini" and "Morris Mini" car model names.[2][3] BMW acquired the marque in 1994 when it bought Rover Group (formerly British Leyland), which owned Mini, among other brands
Owners such a chill guy big props on you for building a beast
Feels, thanks for PMA
Flat shifting, never lift... Absolute game changer👍 Another crazy car from our main man, let us know what you think. Peace and love ML
Hi bro, greatings from italy, have you found better this mini turbo project or the one you test few years ago?
Works luton van smells quite a bit when I'm on a DnB crazy drive home flat shifting while raving along 😂😂😂
@@gabriele4142 both awesome cars, this one has a bit more HP and flat shifts. I give the older review 32/10, and this 35/10. 3 more points for shifts and extra hp but both epic 🤝
@@stat1865 I bet 😂 cheers for watching bro
@@monkylondon thanks for your wise match. Your channel is amazing, best sleepers and crazy underground projects. Thumb up
Minis have always made me feel all warm and fluffy inside a 430 hp one would totally ruin me for all other minis.😵💫
What a car that is! Marin's face when John's doing some cheeky flat shifting just makes it even better🤣🤣
Brave man 😂, tbf as a passenger it's pretty breath taking lol. Cheers homies 🤝
As the Number Plate suggests, that Car is a Total Knock Out.👍🇬🇧
Got myself a well specd r53 the weekend, absolutely love it, hell of a b road basher🤤
Awesome cars for sure, is it a Cooper S? Hope you enjoy ideal for B roads
@MONKY LONDON it sure is, brembos, lsd, exhaust, supercharger pulley, wheels, suspension, intercooler, injectors strut brace, sparco seats and much more, I've messaged you on insta man👌👊💯💯
Crazy fast and all the right noises. Appreciate the review as customary, always cool to hear more about all the technical aspects of a build👌
Like the somewhat 'under the radar' look, a stealthy grey Mini with let's call it a big heart. Thank you very much, left a like, I'd grab that handle
too!! Unlce John back to his old ways again 😁Kudos, Good Sirs!
Yeah always love a sleeper, such fun these little things. Propa movvva #mc
Just realised that this is Paul F's old car. Our engines are the same spec except I'm running a race head.
I have a stage 3 mk 4 golf turbo nearly 400 bhp n I love it she is a beast 😍
Is that 1.8 BAM engine. They rip tbf had a few on the channel
"we've got abit of wet here so I'll be careful"
Starts to bang all gears in wet 😅😂😂 what a car bet that's ridiculously fun!
Surprisingly predictable even at these power levels, John's a nightmare 😂
@@monkylondon John's an absolute Menace 😜💨💨
Really can't say bmw screwed up the design on these. Great proportions, quirky details, some absolute shyte bits here and there but overall cool cars, especially these 1st gen ones. They lost the plot a few gens later but I've always had a bit of a soft spot for the early ones. Can't knock him for spending a few on this platform. Sounds cool too. Been in a stock supercharged one and it felt great even at less than half the power with that tasty S whine.
Another banger Mr Monkey as always best content on tubes! I feel like that passenger door handle has a grip imprint lol
Underated comment 😂
@@monkylondon 🤣🤣🤣 you know it
This is mental!
I had a r53 mcs for a while, paid 500 quid for it dynod at 191hp and abused it for a year. Money well spent 🤣
This has just made me want another!
Another banger of a vid
Bargain that was! What can you get a R53 S for these days? Sold quite a Mini's myself as well really popular cars
@@monkylondon i got lucky mine was off a family friend was used a school run car😂.
Im not sure but a ropey one will set you back a couple g at least.
Was looking at an ep3 amazing how much they go for now days!
Love the vids about the cheap lane bashers, really lit that spark in me to go to the ring again haven't been since covid!!
4:22 Damn Skoda's, you just never know!
Man knows 👀
Love it, puts that power down well 👌
Thanks Mark, yeah quite surprising for such a SWB car. Nice one for watching and commenting 🐒
I love cars like this. So much work put into them and look at the reward. The owner shitting himself! Haha. Superb, great video and hats off to the guy who built that.
As an owner of a Mini Cooper R50, the R50/52/53 are pretty underrated hatchbacks imo, great cornering cars for what they are, they definitively deserve more love! This one is mental 😂
Ive been looking at mini cooper S for quite some time, but some people tell me it can be quite expensive for repairs, is that true? Im just working minimum wage xD
@@Nick-vd7cg I’ve heard the superchargers can cause all sorts of headaches if not routinely serviced, and the fuel mileage is awful around town on them+ it’s getting harder to find one that hasn’t been abused within an inch of its life.
Personally I would get yourself a normal R50 cooper, not the Mini One version, as they are fun enough for daily driving and you mentioned your on minimum wage, just make sure the clutch has been recently done as that’s one of the most costly jobs on them, do regular maintenance and keep an eye on coolant and oil levels and itl be fine!
@@Nick-vd7cgit's a car made by early bmw so if you aren't mechanically inclined it could get expensive if you end up picking up a car that's had a bad life.
If you get an s get an 05-06 best years for the r53s
Yep anyone who’s very serious about racing manuals against modern sports autos definitely needs to invest in this technology to become competitive. Great build. 👍✌🏼
Absolutely deffo the way forward. John was a changed man that day allegedly
👍fuck autos, the very essence and connection with driving a performance car is stolen from you
If your left leg is killing you for repeated operation of a clutch pedal your probably living in central London or other large city using it in the wrong environment…ride a bike or take public transport. Cars are for the open road where they can be properly enjoyed
Anyway…..this takes the ‘shift speed’ element out of the mix 👌👌👌
@@monkylondon yes certainly gives us manual drivers more of a chance to conquer the PlayStation drivers 😆
A link to where you can get the hardware from would be great.
I ve been into a 210whp and it was scary can't imagine how this beast feels
Makes me sad that this will be a straight line car tho as minis are probably one of the best handling cars to grace our roads. But on the other hand it’s good to be different and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a drag build R53. So keep smashing it mate. Amazing car. I was going to buy a e46 330ci this summer but you know what I’m getting a R53 now. You’ve inspired me and I miss my old one sooooo much.
Yeah tbf it still handles really well but he's deffo on a mission for 11's so like you say respect to that. Great to hear you're getting one too good luck with it 👊👌
Love to see some Mini action. Off for some cams at 1320 next week.. should really let you have a go in my R56 big turbo. I need those flat shifts! Thomas @1320 if you're reading this can we do it? Haha
Do it Thomas 😂 1320 ftw
It'z Monkeyy! back wid another bang arrr! Wub wub wub bass bass, Vroooom tis tisss, Lets go! ❤
Bangers FR, more bangers inbound
@@monkylondon Canny wait!
Let the bass (and boost) go
Tune 👏
Flat foot shifts yo! rapid
Bassman + Hazard intro 😂
D&B plus flat shifts what more could we want 😂👊
That was mental
Thanks Ruben glad you enjoyed it bud
1000cc injectors puts it in perspective 😳
This is sick, Monkey!
Wonder how it compares to darkside developments mini SD.
See if we can get one of them on channel for sure. This one is 1320
Jeez that's a insane mini mate, luv it!, i notice that u left the stock radiator, but u added a larger oil engine cooler in front, What make is it? I'm looking for ways 2 cool down a bit as these engines tend 2 b hotter than regular cars, plus I live in Panama which is hot and humid and obviously that doesn't help, I've got a R52 JCW bought it last year, been fixing it slowly as it was abandoned so basically been bringing it back 2 life
I love the extra details in the video description.
You had no reason to go out of the way and add all the extra information about mini and about the engines yet you did.
Just gives the added emphasis of your automotive appreciation for cars and the extra work you put into the video too.
Tvs900 big blower built mini Cooper r53s car owner here.
First ik this is gonna be a quality banger from MR ML❤🔥💯
Bangers R us 🙏
Timeless shape defo like the 1st gen of these Minis 😎😎✌✌👌👌👍👍
Yeah they did well with these for sure. Was shunned by old Mini purists but deffo found it's place now down the line
Gotta say tho that the newest Minis with there union jack rear lights is to gimmicky for me but the 1st gen new shape is the purest for me bar the Og 1s. Love the channel mate & looking forward to what u got coming up. 😎😎✌✌👌👌👍👍
The Self Preservation Society
Such a great film
it's not an ML video if there isn't some banging DnB in the intro
Got some sick reviews coming up too, more banging tunes guaranteed
Talked to you about my B18 mini before. Still getting restored but should be done this year, stupid rust 😅 I'll let you know!
100% down, we need a big power old skool Mini on for sure!
Watching the back window get dirty in moments.
Whats the name of the opening d&b set? Goes hard! 🔥
Bangin video, what's the intro song??
DJ Hazard let the bass go👍 All on my Spotify playlist type in Monky London
Awesome!! Amazed he stuck with the mini engine being such a k20 man it would have seemed like the natural swap….but good to see something so different and performance to go with it…flat shift looks a game changer with a boosted car.
Brilliant video as always monkey 👍👍👍👍
Random request from a long term subscriber…can you stick some more of your dance moves back into the vids please, goes with the music and for some strange reason fascinated me and makes me smile 😃
12:36
Would've been a Nice vehicle but......Cat S now due to BC's (structural cuts)🙊🙊
@monkeylondon your channel has the BEST sound tracks! Where can we download!
Respect homies & homettas, playlist here has most songs plus extra noms, do a like 👍open.spotify.com/playlist/4Rzd6fogs4QluQ7mzGbN54?si=2ZLW6J0VTKaY1cS45VFBTA
what’s the name of the first song??
Big up, mans been replying to pretty much every comment. That’s some dedication right there come on!
What a belter of a mini, the flat-shift is definitely the best part about it, it’s crazy what you can do with the right tune. I assume the fuel cut was linked to the clutch position? You can have it cut fuel at a set rpm as well, then you can bang the next gear in without the clutch, shifts even quicker but puts a lot of stress on the syncros.
Keep them coming🤙🤙
Yeah exactly that, and always like to talk to you guys the channel be nothing without everyone involved. Peace and respect
What an absolute screamer! brilliant little car and most importantly it appears it makes for a happy monkey indeed!
I sense Monky would like a mini 💪
Yeah bought and sold a lot of them as a car dealer, always loved them great fun to drive. Thanks for watching
@@monkylondon always fella 👍
As a fellow mini owner / enthusiast / lover I can confirm this video is naughty 👌🏼👌🏼❤️❤️🚗💨
Naughttttty 😘👊 much love Jim thanks for always getting involved on the channel
Got a mate with a 550bhp r56 cooper s
What ecu? I am wanting to run my link g4 link + extreme ECU with all the goodies
Yeah this is Link too bro
My r53 is identical with the glass roof aswell 😂😂
Mines supercharged with a shorter pulley
Love that whine too! Big up the Mini crew
Loving mc fun in the background, big up the d n b
Martyn knows
Always loved a mini😏noti gangg!👍🏼👍🏼
another marvelous monky monday. mini madness 👏👏😎😎
Nice one bud cheers for popping along and getting involved, legend viewers 🤝
The guys nervous smile is so relatable hahahahaha
Absolutely ridiculous testing these types of cars on open traffic and small country roads!! Why not on proper circuits as we do, in Imola, Monza and dozing of others all spread geographically and all easy to be reached?
Man’s don’t mess about flat shifts all the way defo game changer
Yeah sick little car this
Yer it was fast as bro 😎😎
Properly quick, underrated cars
Minis are underated light as fuck they are
Yeah, mad these early engines can take so much abuse. Apparently later ones bit more chocolate maybe Mini owners can clarify
More of these machines not the thearter less vag computers.
His reaction when you said "Cheeky launch in 1st...??" 😬😂
Sick mini action 🤙
Much love appreciate you tuning in
You need to do a collab with officially gassed for sure
Coming up bro, full feature on his mental DC5❤️
the cameraman never dies!
Sick Cooper. What's the opening track called? 😂
Love it were you got it dun pal send a link
1320 bro check em on Insta
Smashed It ML…flat shift mini your right…complete game changer wicked car man 👊
Cheers bro top guy and car, cheers for tuning in
Did you build this engine yourself have gen 2 mini would love to get in contact
Nice build bro 👍🤜
Much love Tony
this is a nuts car,his charged civic was nuts too, also BIG UP THE SITE TROUSER GANG!! worlds best trousers (stopped a angle grinder cutting disc from chopping me leg,seriously) just with the worlds worst pockets
Yeah he always has awesome cars, looking forward to what he comes up with next!
@@monkylondon always has a soft spot for the first gen binis, passed my test in one, been seeing a few getting k swapped, I think one of them would be a right giggle, vtec revs in a nice chuckable chassis
Someone please tell me the name of the mix at the start of the video dnb with bass man??
Just like the good old vibes and videos dude!!.
Loved it!
Respect bro great to read
@@monkylondon Also, good bitrate choice, i'm watching it on my 4k Oled and previously i watched on my 34" ultrawide desktop pc, nailed it!.
Another excellent vid, John doesn’t mess about on a pull makes me smile like the emoji covering his face 😎 I have a link g4 ecu on my mazda how do I make it do this? I’d need a lightened flywheel. Game changer indeed, like dsg and sequential
Nice what mazda you got? Appreciate the love, ping Link a message sure they can set it up for you. Reviews a Fiesta recently with flat foot shifting too really is a game changer! Much love Steven thanks for getting involved
@@monkylondon cheers I had no idea this was possible. It’s same as the white one from a few weeks back, albeit nowhere near as clean. In for spray work just now so it will be soon 😊 Big ups for the content, never disappoints keep smashing it man
Yo yo yo Toby , great little motors, should of got you out in my 52 or 56 , both gone now .
Hope life’s treating you well lad ?
Yeah I think they make great base cars for sure for any avid enthusiast cheers for watching Darren. . All good this end just manic trying to get JZX81 ready for monster tour fingers are crossed
@@monkylondon good luck all the best Toby 🤞🏼👍🏻
Did you not have a turbochargered classic mini on the channel before now?
Nah only a 1.3 classic which was awesome tbf, spent the entire review smiling lol 😂 Be great to get a big power one on mind
Great start to the week lads quality
I have just recently bought a mini cooper S supercharger R53, im hoping i can get the bhp from 178bhp to 270bhp what parts do i need to get this kind of bhp ???
Fuck yeah 😎🤟🔥
Flat shift sounds sick. Does it mean that you can't heel toe though? I don't know how it works, I'm assuming it just kills the throttle when the clutch is fully down or something?
It's usually just a set rev limit so it doesn't over rev to the redline
Nah you can still heal and toe works of throttle input pretty sure high in rev range as above. Sure someone can give better technical explanation, it's awesome
Tunes 👌
absolutley loving this mate, found the hazard part of the tune at the start but which bassman lyrics are they? sounds mint
Epic video epic car fu”king luv it ❤
Much love Scotty!
Had flat foot shifting on my old MX5 Turbo but could never get my head around doing it because I felt too much mechanical sympathy & that it wasn't going to trigger and I'd rev it to the moon. Luckily John has no such problem haha
These new warning alerts are here to tell us when Johns out 😁😁
😂😂
What is that banger at the beginning
What driveshafts you using ?
Get this on the OG battles.
Ay needs to be done!
Allways got the bangers on giving it DEATHHHHHH
I nearly got to review this as well lol, amazing bit of kit
That things a beast!💨 also what’s the song at the start?
Sounds like DJ Hazard
Yeah as your man said DJ Hazard let the bass go 👍 All on my Spotify play list 🙏
top stuff
That mini is siiiiick!!
Absolute DNB STOMPERSS
congratz on 300k ML
Much appreciated!
MC Funstaaaaa!!!
“We’ve got a bit of wet” bwaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrpppp bwaaaaarrrpppp 😂
More goodness your a top lad monkey 💪👍
I liked my one, but it just had so many oil leaks. Literally chased them around the whole engine until I got to rear main, found out I needed to basically take the whole front end off, so sent it packing.
Taking the front end off an R53 is a five minute job!
I want one nowwww 🎉
Big up bassman 💯💪
Hazard on the Technics 💪
What’s the song name?
DJ Hazard let the bass go 🤝
Intro song?
So sick...
Nah that thing is sick.
