Upgrading to a Borg Warner Turbocharger // Power & Reliability

[@chrisg.212]

Inconel ~! I didn't know anything about it until you talked about it . I googled it. Thank you for the info and the knowledge that you put out for us . Glad to know that you are a Honda fan too!

[@peaceup5519]

I recently replaced my stock turbo with a Borg Warner (I believe it's the same one in this vid). Along with all of the other mods I have installed I am EASILY able to hit 140mph with plenty of room to keep going. This turbo will not stop... It just keeps goin and goin... All the way through the power band! Its incredible and lets the Mini absolutely destroy cars that normally wouldn't be beatable in a Mini. I have perplexed so many people on the highway... One guy just couldn't believe that my engine was a 4 banger. He made me pull off the highway and show him my set up... He was driving an expensive Beamer. I'm not gonna say which one though, as you wouldn't believe me. Although this little turbo is kinda pricey it is definitely worth it! By the way I'm rollin' a '10 Cooper S Clubman.

[@brookerleerich]

Great job dude. It's great to see you how far you've progressed over the years. You've really turned into a PRO! All the best to you

[@andrewsolis2988]

This is why I'm glad I live in Texas. I'm about 16k into my Mini build and I know 15 years down the road it will still be rust free. Knowing my investment will be good years down the road makes it worth it. Kind of depressing knowing all that money will be flaked away....literally

[@TD1S3]

I have a S42 turbo by JMTC. Put it on the car and had boost issues for a year and a half before I figured it out. Was told by JMTC that it was not the turbo and was something else, well what do you know it was the turbo. The flap that covers the wastegate hole wasn't covering it all the way. Sometimes it would cover it other times it wouldn't, ended up putting a OEM turbine housing on and fixed the issue. I really wish I never bought it, its a china charger at best. It also has some shaft play which is AMAZING.

[@milanmastracci]

Its scary to see there were a bunch of people running them. I wish the MINI community had more public information about this kind of stuff. Turbos aren't cheap, and it sucks having to go through 2 to find out one company isn't good..

[@nayibnoyola9438]

Hey Milan,Could you make a parts list or have one Somewhere?I am trying to go the same 300hp route on mine

[@UnlinealHand]

Personally I've been very happy with my 43/56 turbo I got from Mario Palza. Still a quick spooling turbo and I can hold 22.5psi through the whole rev range. I can understand why you moved away from the 47mm, I've driven two 47mm cars and while the top end power is nice the waiting for the boost ruins the driving experience of the car.

I'm just wondering when Anyone with the N18 engine is going to start posting videos on youtube.

[@chippyjohn1]

Where did you read that the turbine housing and manifold are made from Inconel? Austenite steels are non-magnetic, such as 304, 316 and 321. The material is most likely 304 or 321. Inconel is very expensive, about 100 times steel. Also very difficult to machine. Inconel is used for turbine wheels, not housings.

[@temio.463]

Yo can I have your old one lmao. Serious note: love the vids! The mini is why is subscribed, you have the best mini content on YT imo.

[@milanmastracci]

LOL its already sold! Tbh I wouldn't recommend it.

[@tommygooch6835]

Did you have to have someone tune it for you? I would like more info because I’m in the process now of upgrading my turbo now!

[@TheChrismsanchez1]

Interesting video. Maybe I missed it, I replyed this a few times. Can you explain how the BW turbo is going to give instant power? What is different about this turbo that you will have instant power? Compared to the other turbo, I did not see any difference that eleminates turbo lag. Thanks for sharing.

[@bryan6687]

Hey I just bought this exact same turbo. Do you remember how much boost in psi it gave you ? Thanks in advance

[@andreasmagiatis4735]

What about the new turbo????? Dyno plz...

[@egbertgarcia6610]

Hey Milan. How is this turbo holding up?

[@brauliomartinez4955]

Are you going to make a video about reverse taillights?

[@IgorD33]

Off topic but for your honda which aftermarket axles did you use in the past and had bad experiences with? I was going to try trakmotive or cardone. Raxles or OEM is over $1k in Canada which is insane. But I heard that aftermarket make steering wheel vibrate which is what I get now due to inner joints wear.

[@milanmastracci]

I went through multiple Cardones and other cheap brands. Save your self some money and either buy the raxles or OEM

[@IgorD33]

OEM is $1500 in Canada for both axles. Raxles is not much less. Hard to justify that kind of money for 2011. I may look for used with low km

[@MrDjvena]

Hola. Vi ese turbo hace poco. No es el mismo que el de jcw? Me hizo dudar la palabra airwerks pero las turbinas son de la misma medida creo? Un saludo.

[@gustavovalentin8953]

Es el mismo si.

[@bchnts]

Actually referring to braided brake lines is a day and night difference comparing to stock rubber ones.. I always put them in every car I own and I love them

[@milanmastracci]

I'm so with you on that! If I knew the hard lines were as corroded as they were, I would have changed the hard and soft lines out when I had the engine out 👍

[@zackdontas1213]

I wanna upgrade to the gtd turbo for the most amount of power. My tuner works with rpm and doesn't recommend it because they say its not reliable but my goal with the car is 300 hp right now. I have everything done but built internals do you think the borg warner would be better or should I still go to the gtd

Do the jcw turbo fit on the standard Cooper s r56 if so is it worth putting on as I'm interested in this

[@peterpan6156]

Yes it will fit. Only worth with a ECU remap

Yes it fits as Peter said. I would recommend getting this turbo and an RPM tune to take advantage of it

[@zevi2000]

Worth it even without tune

[@louvendran7273]

@@zevi2000 Lol what is your mileage?

[@TipSpy]

@@louvendran7273 Mine is a 2011 MCS and it has 129K miles. The only things i've had to do were replace the valve cover, replace the diverter valve on the turbo, and get the HPFP warranty serviced cuz it died. Other than that it has been reliable. Oh, but it eats through coil packs for breakfast lunch dinner and a snack.. luckily i got a replacement pack with a lifetime warranty from autozone, so any time one dies i just limp it up there and get a new one. Ive had the car since 93K miles and the only reason i had to replace the valve cover is because the previous owner did NOT keep up with the oil changes at all, and probably let it run low on oil a few too many times. My turbo bearing also leaks, so if i idle for more than a minute i start burning oil and get a puff of blue smoke on takeoff. Just waiting for it to fully fail so i can get a JCW turbo to replace it...

[@Mike_Malloy]

I love following your channel. You mentioned you wanted instant torque in your Mini. What are your thoughts about EV's? I have a Tesla and it has 100% torque from a dead stop.

[@shaneblacklord3313]

Next time buy a honda with a K24! LOL! Just kidding I love both! but I think the parts for a Honda are much cheaper than parts for the mini. Original Classic Minis with K24 Hondas are faster and cheaper. Iconal is amazing stuff! Acura TSX engines with amazing. K24s in a classic mini are also amazing, Good luck with your education! you should sue your educational advisor! you could have been finished last year! LOLn Just Joking! Hope you are well!

Why not go with hybrid turbo set up like a frakenturbo? looking for reliability?

Yeah! I dont want to have to touch mine again, and I can still make some healthy horsepower with this new one 👍

Can’t wait to see what your pushing with what you have planned. I think I know what RPM parts your talking about and they are pretty dope!Hoping to build my n18 when I graduate next year, defiantly using your channel for reference! I currently have a frankenturbo on my list but overall size isn’t really what I’m going for, more like what you said (quick spooling) so this turbo may be with a look.

Because it is nearly impossible/incredibly costly to get to 300 hp while supercharging a 1.6
