Hey bud I was fortunately luck enough to finally get one of these. 2012 MINI S 👍 I live in Arizona with the extreme heat in the summer time. Any suggestions or ideas for upgrades to keeps my baby running cool and healthy as possible? I was thinking maybe doing the larger intercooler would help a bit. If you have any ideas or suggestions I would really appreciate it! Thx

[@ProjectMini]

Larger intercooler and methanol injection. I’m currently working on a methanol injection install video btw💪

[@TheFlR3StOrM]

As you said brother, if a shop were to do all that installing the labor cost today plus the parts would be around 15 to 17,000.00 total cost. This is why we do it ourselves. That is a massive difference from 6 grand to 17 grand. Merry Christmas brother

[@ProjectMini]

Exactly, I’m the only one that’s worked on my Mini since I’ve owned it 👍

[@Good_Ol_Dayz]

Gonna need some actual dyno numbers in order to justify that on my mini, after all that cost is more than my mini itself! Merry Christmas and keep the vids coming!

[@ProjectMini]

I’ll dyno once i do a full build and need a dyno tune

[@samdarena6453]

Love the vid and the fb group!!!!

[@ProjectMini]

Thank you 🙏

[@edwinruder5935]

Waiting on your clutch slave cylinder to go out, I need a video haha, im kidding. I just can't find an informative video like the way your vids are, and I can't find anything helpful on the forums. Love your channel btw its helped a bunch.

[@ProjectMini]

Thank you! But my R56 is an automatic

[@Jbajapaca]

Excellent!!!!! Thanks

[@ProjectMini]

Thank you!

[@brutusbigben1013]

[@ProjectMini]

[@maxboya]

Now for the noisemaker, couldn’t you just cap the end of it?

[@ProjectMini]

You could, but if you lose the cap on the road you’re stuck

[@maxboya]

@@ProjectMini why? If it’s on tight then it shouldn’t come off.

[@maxboya]

@@ProjectMini I just can’t justify spending that much on a small little adapter hose that doesnt. Have the smaller inlet on it. Anyways there’s so many methods to sealing that off.

[@ProjectMini]

Im sure people have done it your way too

[@soyabean911]

What benefit if any did you notice when removing the noise maker? I'm considering that mod. 👍

[@DogzRewl]

Did you do all this on a stock bottom end and head?

[@ProjectMini]

Yeah, I’ll build the bottom end soon though

[@DogzRewl]

@@ProjectMini I have a Sneed4Speed Supersport JR shortblock on order with a new head. Been waiting since October. All my new parts are sitting here waiting to go on. I have an 08 MCS. The waiting is the hardest part. I guess they are having issues getting the rods.

[@ProjectMini]

Did you get one of their performance heads or stay stock?

[@DogzRewl]

@@ProjectMini I stayed stock for now. I have the head from my engine that is still good and in the future I might send it Thumper. I also got S4S downpipe and the Spec stage 3 clutch with aluminum flywheel. My biggest concern is I have to pass emissions here in Utah. I may have to put it together stock then after passing, put my upgrades on with a Mario tune. I really need to talk to Mario.

[@ProjectMini]

I did the remote tune from Mario so i can put my stock tune back on when i go smog my car
