In today’s video we finally install forged pistons and rods on my 2012 Mini Cooper S Countryman with the R400 turbokit! It’s been long awaited but glad to finally have internal upgrades.
These pistons are custom made as a joint between RPM POWER and CP Carrillo. They are 10:1 CR instead of 10.5:1 like the factory S pistons
They also come with ceramic coating
The Rods are K1 Technology, which are H beam. You need to clearance the bottom of the block bore a bit for them to fit. I chose these knowing I’d have to do that. If you want plug and play you buy the CP Carrillo Rods to go with the pistons.
These K1 rods are apparently discontinued too.
All upgrade parts in this video were purchased from Detroit Tuned! Shoutout Chad Miller for getting it shipped out fast!
