Hey all,

Strange question, im getting my s in January and i wanna buy some stuff for her. please can u provide me with stuff that can be used with the cooper s.

Stuff like a Boost Controller (Turbo charged cars only) But stuff like that if im making any sense.

So far im looking at getting a Boost Gauge and Air/Fuel Ration Gauge.

Any help would be Apreciated

Thanks

Also Dump Valves / By pass Valve Dont work for Superchargers??

but they sell something for supercharges what does that do? :S

Well, if you're after gauges check these Defi-Link Meter BF out!

Believe me, you want to preserve as much of that supercharger pressure as you can, not vent it.

Just enjoy having your exhaust "fart" when you lift.

yeh i agree, im just after some gadgets. i want something that u can get only if u got a super charger

Well, that would be the nice SC whine you get on hard acceleration. An intake kit or even a different panel filter will make that easier to hear.

yes there that whine which i do love.

but what i mean on turbo chargers you can have digital boost controller etcs. is that not anything like this that u can get on a supercharger??

i used to have a VW Polo G40 (170bhp) which was supercharged and had a jabbasport dump valve...had rolling road results before and after , but didnt make a difference (noise was good tho) !

mukimunki is right about pressure also ! u want as much as possible...

best thing really is get a smaller pulley, belt and ecu mod and u will be smitten i reckon !

boost gauge wud be mesmorising then !!!!!!

Not really a boost controller on an SC. There is a bypass valve but that really isn't what you're looking for. At least I don't think it is.

Check item 7 on this page for a more technical explanation.
It'll give you insight into why this isn't realistic.

still dont understand though

You cannot run a boost controller on a supercharged car, because there is no waste-gate type valve that limits the amount of exhaust gases going through the turbine on a supercharger. The supercharger pulley size is in effect your boost controller. A 19% reduction pulley will provide more boost than a 17, 15, stock, etc. Since you're eager to buy mods, I'd start off with the basics that are easy to install with basic hand-tools like an intake, cat-back exhaust and rear swaybar. Other mods you might want to consider are a wheel/tire change (this will make a huge difference in acceleration, ride quality and handling), supercharger pulley and lowering springs.

I don't see the point in getting a boost gauge on these cars since the amount of boost produced is directly proportional to the speed of the engine. I bought one, but turned around and sold it because of this. An oil pressure and oil temp gauge would serve you better IMHO.
