Mini R53 Cooper S Hatchback (2002-2006)
Your first generation Mini Cooper S has a 1.6 petrol engine that was actually made in Mexico by Tritec motors enhanced with a Super Charger rather than a turbo, there are 3 advantages of this,
- The Super Charger has its own oil supply rather than sharing the engine oil
- As the Super Charger is turned directly from the crankshaft by a belt there is no lag as is usual with a turbo
- By reducing the size of the pulley on the Super Charger you can increase the power. Gains can be up to an extra 20 bhp depending on the pulley size you use.
