Deffo not supported by BWM warranty, no surpirse there. I was quoted £3500 to go from standard 163 to 225, I'm sure theres another 225 thread with costs from 210 to 225 at £1500.

Both only avaliable JCW, see the motorsport section on there web site.

How much in terms of BHP does just the JCW sports manifold add. I was under the impression from JCG your looking at 225 from just the manifold, that is if your going from 210?

Looks awesome!

notts04chillimini · Apr 5th, 2006, 01:47 AM

looking ggod

alot of money though

JCW225 · Apr 5th, 2006, 01:49 AM

Thanks Guys,
In relation to the cost of it.
Lets just say it was a hell of a lot cheaper than looking after my Maserati 3200 ! which was a nightmare financially !

Based on that experience I would say the cost is relative.

St00ge · Apr 5th, 2006, 10:46 AM

i'm itching for the sounds/videos of the manifold and exhaust.

I wonder what the difference is with the superchargers of the 210 vs the 225?

Yes there are other conversions on the market but the reason we went with JCW is because of the company history regarding the engine work with Mini's and the fact that the customer service is outstanding combined with the down to earth approach of the Engineers.

In addition the research and development into the products was long and extensive which made us confident in purchasing this conversion.

Pics and Vid clips of the finished Vehicle to follow in the next week.

if thats really £1500 for a 210bhp to the 225 and includes all that seems a good price, as I was quoted over 1k for the manifold alone

very tempted

I thought standard to 225 for the same price as 210 was a steal

'Standard' JCW springs are 10mm - are these 20mm lower items something new?

possibly

RedUn · Apr 5th, 2006, 09:41 PM

is it really worth 1500 quid to loose yer warranty and only gain 15 horses tho??

surely your better off going with an after market manifold and intercooler which will see the same gains maybe a touch more but u save 500 quid to spend on petrol?

I understand some of you are JCW junkies, just thought i'd ask the question

I am looking to head down to jcw in summer to have this work carried out .Well intrested in hearing more about it keep me posted

£600 is just for the labour for the LSD, add to that the £500+ cost of the parts. Thats what I'm lead to believe anyway.

I will post vid clips and then you can decide .
But for personal performance then you have to experience in person.
