I’d like to make some more videos in the future! Right now I’m more trying to fix things on my mini as it ages. Which some people don’t want to watch videos on.
Are you still running stock injectors and stock tune? If so, how is it holding up? I'm going to install a reman supercharger w/ a 17% reduction pulley installed since my original PTO failed. I've got colder plugs, coil/wires, shorter belt on the way with the supercharger.
Is your mini cooper tune after u put the pully on because mine I'm putting a 17% pully on but I have a intercooler on too and full exhaust on it and idk if I need to tune mine after I put the pully on
I just did a 17% reduction pulley and would like to do as you did and buy a boost gauge just to see what the actual readings for boost are, especially with winter around the corner lol
Nope no issues! The only thing that may have been a result is going through a couple alternators. But they were cheap remans so I wouldn’t say it was the pulley’s fault.
Hell yeah I knew I wouldn’t need bigger injectors but people had me confused with the intercooler some people say u need to up upgrade and other say the factory s and gp in coolers and been proven the best but thanks for your reply can’t wait to get mine here soon
@@hunteryanske2803the only times I’ve heard people complain about the intercooler is if they’re using it on a track car that gets hammered on lap after lap. Normal driving situations you’ll be fine. Even “spirited”.
I just upgraded to an ALTA 17% pulley and ALTA lightweight one piece crank pulley and i'm getting wheel spin on launch and a chirp on 2nd gear! I will post a video on my page that shows the before and after 0-60mph pulls and my reaction if anyone wants to see.
@@CooperCvlt I've also read somewhere about potential long term effect of main bearing damage due to running a lightened pulley vs harmonic balancer. My car already has over 140k miles and the bearings are already halfway worn down. I just want a quick bump in power and response for the meanwhile. But if I do end up keeping the car for a lifetime, which I might because it's a really fun little car, I will eventually rebuild the engine and have the heads ported. But yes, I think in theory the harmonic "balancer" is there to keep the rotating assembly in check. I think the only true way you can ensure that the engine is still in balance after you throw a lightweight pulley or lightweight flywheel is if you rebuild the engine with fresh new bearings, and get the entire rotating assembly (crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons etc) blueprinted and balanced. That's a lot of $$$ but by then, there will be no doubt about the engine being off balance!
Dylan man, Buy the metal plates to put over the front shocks on both sides. Prevent bulging of metal over the front shocks. Get a table to put your demonstration tools. I also have a sway bar, and under panel engine metal shield/protects under body.
What size wheels and tires do you have ? I’m not so familiar with cars but I love the look of yours. I’d like to replicate it on my own to my mini but don’t know how you did it to get that look you have. If there’s anything else that I should know to get it to your look please do tell me.
@@CooperCvlt thank you I finally fixed the issues on my Cooper. I think I’m gonna install the coil pack and reduction pulley belt. Does this require me to get a smaller supercharger pulley? Also I just need clarification, is the supercharger pulley and crankshaft pulley two different things?
@@lizzyvlogsrandomness1634 nice! You will need the actual supercharger pulley, the belt is only different due to the pulley size change. The crank pulley would be a different thing, which some people do as well.
