So are you pulling off your Eaton yet?

....well if you are going all the way i want to see some tyr and fit one of these to a mini!

Whipple Industries

they are part of the Opcon group to!

might need a 300shot of gas to make enough power to drive the bam supercharger though!

KIT PRICES-
The basic kit for installation will be around £3995
higher power levels require additional fuelling (injectors)larger throttle body , pulley /belt and a map
(pulley changes £100 with belt )
any existing airflow alterations from stock ie cam/head/manifold -will need a map


All kits will be dyno run with printouts for the Pub and your mates

remapping will be required on all installations due to the stock map being so far out of whack with the new boost /rpm
The basic kit will provide 275-300 and include a throttle body
Install time 1 day approx plus dyno

So who actually wants one ?
PM me if you do

[Johan422]

I don't konw if I missed it somewhere, but you have pics of this unit? Are you mating the charger up to the stock intake horns? Thanks!

[Penguinracer]

Now that sounds like a fair price! I hope you do well.

[MINIMANIAUK]

New inlet horn is part of the kit ,but it connects to the stock intercooler ,so any aftermarket cooler designed as a replacement will also fit- If the conversion proves popular , then a different intake/cooler can be made but cost is going to be an issue with this and ultimately demand.

The bulk of the price is in the charger itself and they have increased in price 30% since I started the kit!!
Much like anything sales wise ,the more sold allows economy of scale and prices can be reduced but until then that is the best I can do .

If you consider the price of some JCW seats,an aerokit and some split rim wheels- I know which I would get more enjoyment from !!

Yea, +1 --- I was just looking at the exchange rate and it's like a $1.98.

Still Like the idea of a screw style charger...someday

i think when you look at the cost of a jcw kit at 210hp thats got to be good value

from the pic there seems that you "could" fit a larger supercharger if needed. could this be a possiable option later?? is there actually any room to do this?? also is there anything offerd by the Opcon group that could maybe deliver 400bhp??

thanks Chris.

PS. great prodcut and nice pricing to!

[MINIMANIAUK]

Bigger is not always better , sledgehammer engineering , yes there is room for a larger charger but to what end ? 400 or 500 bhp just become numbers ,good for MAX POWER mags and the bar
three times the standard output which is already supercharged would cost an absolute fortune,just how many cars do you know can have their stock output tripled?
To raise the output from 163/170 to 275 is an absolutely astonishing result and to push on to 325 reach double the factory output !!!!
Having very large bhp at very high rpm does not reflect how a car performs as a road car , with 280/300 in such a small light car as the MINI is more than enough , sub 13 sec quarter miles is a match for just about any car made and at £50000 less than most 13 sec cars
To go higher power is folly , to go faster start stripping the car for less weight ......far cheaper

But if you want bigger I am up for it !! please send £50000 deposit!!

Any updates??
