More BOOST for the R53 (Reduction Pulley) + Broken Supercharger Fix

[@jaredlines3177]

I’m not gonna lie, after watching your E28 front end restore, I completely forgot you bought a Mini. I love your channel man, you deserve way more views and way more subs

[@nigelbond4056]

Memphis, your commentary gets better and better every video. Always make me giggle whilst educating me through your expertise. You’re clearly a very patient guy, nothing ever seems to faze you. You’re some kind of genius I think. I really love a supercharger whine! Lovely 😁👍👏

[@Redblockish]

Memphis is now one of two channels where I hit like on the videos before they even start playing cause I know they'll be great. Love the channel- keep it up man!

[@motheolebelo]

same with me.

[@Mcbaby12345]

What is the other channel?

[@Redblockish]

@@Mcbaby12345 M539 Restorations- by far the best BMW content on KZbin

[@anthonysmall8087]

Informative and fun to watch. I live in California, but lived in Belgium for five years near the city of Mons and can completely relate with “it was rainy and bad weather all”day.” Great job on the car and video!

[@marcels.3691]

The plant of production of this engine was bought by Fiat Brazil and the engine is used in the FCA group equipping other cars like Jeep Renegade and most of Fiat brazilian cars. The difference is that they dont use supercharger and have options for 16v 1.8 and 1.6 litters. Here its considered a very reliable engine.

[@ultranadax6852]

Great vid! I just had to do this myself (also shoutout to ModMini's channel) after getting my first Mini - 2006 Cooper S w/ only 43k miles and one previous owner who generously left the original window sticker in the owner's manual. Grinding noise in my SC was indeed the gears driving the water pump. And not a drop of oil. Found local SC specialist who repaired mine for about $950, including having to replace the stainless shaft the PTO gears, bearings, seals and fresh oil.

[@grayfool]

Good job. This just shows how crucial proper servicing is on modern cars. Love the whine of the supercharger. Very cool.

[@williamdavisjr5536]

Love your style. As an A&P I appreciate the pulley-pulling segment. Nothing's easy, friction rules the mechanical world. Dig your perseverance.

[@geenicoll2920]

Brilliant video, Love hearing a supercharging whine. The R53 is very engaging to drive, doesn't really matter how fast they are because you enjoy driving them regardless.. Nice work.

[@billmarsh3767]

I have a 2003 JCW with 11 percent pulley---I do wish it was a 17 and I had an LSD to counter the torque steer but the car is a great deal of fun to drive---hope you enjoy yours!!!

[@ROCKSTAR123458]

Hey Memphis, aan de donkere plekken op je condensor te zien lekt deze! Ik zou hem vervangen! Grtz,

[@cemofluoglu659]

Memphis, amazing video mate. Greetings from Antwerpen, soon I will get my hands on r53 and for sure watch this video to learn. Thanks and maybe see you on Nurburgring!

[@billcunningham8485]

I have successfully completed three of these SC services and while satisfying when completed I found it wasn’t my favorite project. in my humble opinion you made the right choice on buying a good used Supercharger over trying to fix the original one. So many things could be “off” and you would be right back where you are today… and possibly over heated the engine in the process. That Supercharger service kit is very good. The ones I have used in the US were not that complete. I use a Locking Chain Clamp in addition to the pulley puller when removing the super charger pulley - learned that trick from Mod Mini. Nice work. Did my rear brakes this year as well. I bought the special tool to wind back in the parking brake…. Ended up using a bent needle nose pliers to rotate the piston back into the caliper. Not awful but know your options when you do the brakes. I swapped out all four corners and went with slotted and Cryo treated Stop Tech front rotors - wasn’t all that much more expensive for a better quality longer lasting rotor.

[@CLP2102]

loved this video, it goes to show, playing with cars is kinda universal worldwide.

[@ohcrapwhatsnext]

First i would of sprayed bolt breaker on the pulley area.... Next day i would of heated up the pulley (which expands metal) with a small torch and then applied the puller...it would of come off by either a blow with a hammer to the top of puller or by itself....Lesson learned...Great vid. Your channel is a very good channel, undervalued by many and you should have plenty of new subs soon.... Your funny too.

[@roadster2776]

a bearing puller goes behind the pully and applies pressure evenly all the way around

[@ronkolk]

Dat geluid van de charger is gewoon heerlijk ;)

[@thelolzyone6582]

That hitmarker at 6:33 got me good

[@gordonjewell7861]

Great video and very educational for me to do my R52 s convertible 👍

[@nigelsmillie461]

Hi, I just bought one of these cars, and I am just about to start to remove the supercharger and address some oil leaks. The car is already a John Cooper Works Version, so has the reduction pulley and other mods, the car when new it was 210 Bhp, I want to get it back to at least that, and with some other work, maybe even more. Many thanks your Video was really helpful in overcoming many questions I had before the work begins, Best regards Nigel :)

[@brent3569]

Mod mini's service videos are the best for minis

[@michaeltutty1540]

Interesting. The first step on the supercharger service should be to disconnect the battery and give all the resisters a chance to discharge so you do not set off the airbags taking the front of the car apart. Seeing all the bits and pieces involved, all I can say is "You're a better man than I, Gunga Din." Now I know exactly why I love big rear wheel drive cars with big V8s! I had a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis with the 5.8 litre engine and the trailer towing package. Without a trailer, it was about as fast as that Mini, being a bit under 7 seconds 0-100 km/h, but on the highway it only used 7 litres per 100 km. The joy of enough torque to move a house at low revs. Nothing was difficult or fiddly with that car. Of all my cars, that was likely my favourite, despite how much I love my 1990 Volvo 240 Estate.

[@nutsackmania]

dude *resistors* dont store energy

[@yeti200sx]

it will feel way more.powerful as that pipe would have had a massive boost leak so you would have lost loads of power on boost. but with that pulley I bet that's totally different 👌

[@MrSimonurry]

Love your garage complete with log burner and car lift ! Great walk through !

[@NAFIGGAMING]

Found a mini for sale local to me and im really wanting the car way more than i should lol. I searched for mini Cooper videos here on KZbin to get an idea of how horrible it would be to work on. I found this video to be a really good source of information to look out for tips in my purchase. I know more about what to ask about. What dead giveaways could help me set a better price and best of all worse case parts costs for supercharger issues if i find any

[@walterbutscher8438]

You are getting more funny lol. The AC condenser looked a little wet from oil you may want to replace that at some point if the ac stops working. You are awesome bud. Keep the videos coming.

[@discobiscuitz6383]

Love my R53, getting the airflow and cooling sorted before I start adding power. Looking forward to it becoming a pocket rocket🤘

[@Shadygobang]

When doing the pulley I think the bolt you added locked the pulley to the shaft that’s why it bent. The puller should have worked and you could have used a little heat as well to help expand the pulley

[@Alex.P_10]

This thing needs an intake badly 😁 The stock one has a nasty resonator on it, killing all the good noises. Awesome supercharger kit from the shop you mentioned 👍🏻

[@dawiddalomis576]

Would recommend oversizing the crank pulley and alternator if you are going to daily this. The reduced pulley could overcharge the alternator and or put more stress of the crank.

Wow! Lots of small parts in that setup. You’re to be commended on your bravery for tackling that one. Seems like it’s working well though so you must’ve gotten it right😄 I think I’ll stick with my Volkswagen turbo though as it’s much simpler to deal with. Good video and a good outcome👍🏽👍🏽 nice woodstove too, a cheap and effective heat source in the shop.

Hey leuk nog een belg met een r53 :) ik denk dat supercharger op 100.000miles is dus 160.000kms ik heb een chillired mini r53 met 15poelie

[@Morteexx]

I think you need new map when you get new pully 😊, ask a local tuner or something.

[@thedonvon4507]

Not needed at all. The ecu in a r53 is adaptive... so you never need a tune. You can even turbo swap it and it'll run 100% with out a tune... of your boosting 20 psi then you need a tune cause the factory map sensor cant handle anything over 20 psi. Hope that clears you up!!!

[@Morteexx]

@@thedonvon4507 Then he should take off the battery and let it reset, so it takes the new values and drivingstyles 🙏 , but he also should get pops and bangs 😍

i bought my mini in 2020 with all same issues but the supercharger was working and is good. lucky. Maybe my has been replaced before. Im at 130k and mine is a 2006 mini cooper s . But probably because it is an automatic transmission that is why the super charger still alive. People with automatic dont drive hard like the 6 speed manual people.

Great video - what an ordeal just to work on the supercharger! Hard luck with the snapped plastic air pipe but at least you found it while you were in the area, rather than it breaking after you rebuilt the whole front of the car..

[@jkk244]

I replaced my supercharger with a rebuilt unit on my 2002 R53 two years ago, so I enjoyed seeing someone else do the job. Did you “burp” the cooling system and let out trapped air via the little bleed screw?

[@sooikev]

Mooie video's maak je! Ik betwijfel of je veel meer vermogen hebt met de kleinere superchargerpulley. Meer boost sowieso. Noodzakelijk volgens mij is nu een remap. De ECU zal de boost-toename wel iets corrigeren door wat meer brandstof in te spuiten, maar die correctie is gelimiteerd door de fabrikant en waarschijnlijk onvoldoende. Zo zou het wel eens kunnen dat in het hogere toerentalbereik je motor nu te arm loopt met kans op motorschade! Een verwittigd man ...

[@kabbeskopf525]

Very very nice videos!!!! You are very good as mechanics!!! You hear definitely more the supercharger!!! Well done!!!! Looking forward to the next video!!! Keep on doing like that!!!👍👍👍👍

[@MrHuismeester]

Mooie video !!! Maar OMG wat een werk voordat ergens aan kan beginnen. Betekent dat nou ook dat je telkens de halve motor moet uitbouwen om bijvoorbeeld de waterpomp en thermostaat wilt vervangen ?? Waarin een kleine auto "groot "in kan zijn. Geen wonder dat de Garagerekeningen soms te pan uitrijzen bij een klus als deze. Deze motor iv van oorsprong van BMW? En ik maar denken dat Franse auto's gecompliceerd zijn ( reed jarenlang een Citroen CX Turbodiesel ) . Maar eind goed al goed, de Mini loopt weer fantastisch en dan heb je veel eer van je werk! Leuk om de Mini weer eens te zien ! Op naar de volgende klus toch ? Tot dan !!
