It makes such a difference! 👍🏻🔥

Very much appreciated Stefan! Thank you for subscribing! 👍🏻

100% agree! If you want to enjoy and not worry too often about IAT’s 15% is the option! 17% whine is louder though...

Absolutely agree bro! Such an engaging and enjoyable car when you’ve got it set up in your own way! 👍🏻🔥

Thank you man! Much appreciated! Sounds like an excellent plan for your R53, these cars are so enjoyable to drive with just a reduced pulley, so your next set of modifications are really going to unleash even more of the fun! 👍🏻

@@SULKNATIONtv nearly ordered an MTC intercooler but after watching another of yr videos.. seriously considering to save up the extra and get a GRS motor sport intercooler in BLACK!! I need to thank you Bro.. also there is some great people also uploaded some fantastic videos that have also helped me BiG Time.. in buying a R53 S.. Stay Cool 🚙👍🏾

Thank you man, glad I could help! I’m going to get a GRS intercooler when funds allow! Just ordered an Ultragauge, so when that lands I’ll be doing in depth (hopefully 😂) videos on that! Also coming soon... Oil Catch Cans, ‘Dam Air’ and more! 😂👍🏻👍🏻

Dude like yourself mine came with the 17% pulley,and air tec intercooler, engine rebuild @99,900 miles and the direnza back cat . But on the Dyno it was 182 HP. So I had a mate @bhperformance in the West Midlands. Map it she /it is 200hp @6000 rpm. Just need the 550cc injectors to bump it up another 13 hp. Them possibly buy the de cat exhaust for the extra 30(ish) hp . ( Decat for in-between mot’s) 🤣🤣. I didn’t buy the car for the car I bought it for the engine. . I did have intentions of putting the r53 engine into my classic triumph herald . However I fell in love with the little bugger. And now I enjoy both. Classic triumph original 13/60. @59.1 up restored. And the stunning little mini which has no problem keeping up with my mates in there m2’s and M3’s. Thought I’d share this , 👍😎 stay safe stay awesome 😎👍

@@stevewalker9888 ordered a GRS intercooler yesterday in black can't wait for it to get here bro

Damn it! I prefer jelly beans! 😂

A supercharger service at around 100’000 miles is definitely needed! You don’t want it to cease up through lack of oil… you can do it yourself though, so it doesn’t necessarily have to cost a lot of money. Kits of gaskets and the correct oil can be bought for around £50 and as long as you’re fairly handy with tools, it’s just a case of removing the supercharger from the engine bay and working on it by draining the oil etc. 👍🏻

I bought them directly off Jonathan English at Mod A Mini, he had them powder coated for me! They don’t really benefit the car much, but they do look 👌🏻!

@@SULKNATIONtv cool thanks for the help man, I’ve been looking for these for my car for ages ahaha should have checked mod a mini 🤣

I don’t think they sell them on the online store, but if you contact them directly, they may be able to source you some! 👍🏻

@@SULKNATIONtv alright thank you for the advice mate nice car

Cheers mate!

I got my supercharger serviced at the same time as a full service and getting the reduced pulley on, so it was a fair whack of money! I can’t remember exactly how much the supercharger service was on its own with the reduced pulley being installed, but I think it was about £390-£400! I think… 😂👍🏻

They are ‘Cabrio Braces’, standard on the R52 as they add some structural benefit due to the R52 being a convertible. They don’t really bring anything to the table for the R53 but they look good! 😂👍🏻

Well well, learn something new every day

😂 yes, yes you do! Today I found out that it’s hard to describe the enjoyable drivability of my R53 whilst enjoying driving it! 3 takes and still so so. 😂

Sometimes there's nothing quite like some raw unedited footage to brighten up your day 😂

@@Bombastic_Spastic there will be ‘outtakes’... 😂

In theory, running the supercharger harder produces more heat, so that needs to be compensated for, larger intercooler, colder plugs etc. Also, when reducing the supercharger pulley, again in theory, to keep it in efficient operational boundaries, you should increase the size of the crankshaft and alternator pulleys, which I have also done. I ran the reduced supercharger pulley with a bigger intercooler for a year without issue before I ‘upgraded’ the other pulleys. It’s a very, very beneficial mod. 👍🏻

@@SULKNATIONtv yea i understand w more power u need more air but my supercharger doesnt even sound anymore lol im hoping its just that it needs oil

@@kp_5945 has it been serviced? What mileage is it on mate?

@@SULKNATIONtv 165k miles litterly right before i bought it like the next few days the supercharger went out which was like at 157k like or something im not sure

Thank you for the clarification, I’ll make sure to correct myself in a video in the future! 👍🏻

Hi buddy, so ‘colder spark plugs’ is reference to the tolerances of the spark plugs you have in the engine of the car. For example, If you have a modified car pushing more than factory power, then the cylinders of the car will get hotter dealing with the increased power, so colder plugs are a must to help the engine operate and manage the increase in performance. There is more to it than that, but you get the idea. 👍🏻

@@SULKNATIONtv ahhhh okay that makes sense to me now lol thank you , appreciate it man

@@nr_blaze4084 no problem buddy! 👍🏻

I like it! I do believe the reduced pulley is the best, but a Sprintbooster is an excellent shout! 👍🏻

@@SULKNATIONtv I have a 15 percent on mine it's nothing massive I might go to 19
