What did you do to your mini today?
Speaking of new coolant tanks, I just picked up Barnaby this afternoon. After me supplying around 400 in parts and paying 700 in labor he is all set. New coolant system all around, supercharger oil changed, and Detroit Tuned BPV installed. Driving better then ever.
I had my supercharger taken off already for a whole coolant system flush already so I went onto ECS and got 2 3oz bottles of the GM oil. One side had almost none and both sides were VERY black. I am glad I did it and I am sure the supercharger is too
Thanks for the order. Glad you took car of the oil. Did the gears look ok?

Based on your location you may be the person to talk to. Did you have a chance to drive your Mini without the intake. Did you notice a difference in performance post install?

Same with the clutch, CPS, and a few other key components that usually fail around the 60,000 mile mark mine just passed.

I did. I removed the plastic wall/partition separating the bay from the windscreen cowl. I had intentions of making the small hole much larger but wanted to find a replacement panel first. So I would have the altered panel (enlarged hole) and stock to fall back on if ever I return it.
So I removing the stock airbox which does not look all that appealing and added the rogue intake with cone filter.
From my car notes, it appears that I bought the intake second hand off of eBay from a user in Florida on 12/01/2004. (yeah, while ago) Car had 1,210 miles on him. (108.6k now)
Never looked back. The obvious change is the whine sound from the blower. That is pretty neat. Power increase was noticeable for me. Car pulled more and response was better. I believe anything we can do to feed the supercharger more air will be a benefit. The way the Rogue intake is designed, I am hoping that the majority of the air is coming from the windscreen cowl and not the bay. Its not like the car is normally aspirated, which can sometimes cause an issue.
Depending on your area, summer time will not be as beneficial due to the higher temps. I’ve never had pinging in the summer during WOT (running JCW plugs) but power was not AS noticeable as it is in the winter. During the winter, you can feel the car pull more and it is a bit more spunky.
We just had a rain storm come through Phoenix and even with the road dry (day after), it is difficult to grab in 1st gear, 2nd can be interesting and even 3rd to some degree. (Front tires have 5/32” of tread)
Hope that helps.
Red with Black my favorite color combo Looking good Bub
not what I meant at all but I didn't know there was a vent in that location. Off to the garage to learn something new
I was just referring to the Rogue intake.
I think that's where most of my time will be spent as soon as my warranty runs out. Work on allowing the engine to breathe more efficiently and heat dissipation\temperature mgmt.
See where we go after that.
Maybe a tune.
Thanks for the info
[QUOTE=CooperSAZ;4137254]Without the intake? I assume in the stock setup? As in through the small hole separating the bay from the windscreen cowl? And into the stock airbox that is restrictive and through the paper filter?
