Were down to the last days for race day. Were having a bad time with the programming the Mini. The really fly's it has 250hp she pulls hard! But it keeps on throwing on the check engine light power. Is Turbo overboosting. Got ahold of the programmer hopefully he can resolve this before race day? if not I have to bring out the Porsche!

One week to go to race day. Finally got the program to help the turbo. had the original Turbo bored out internally. Enlarged exhaust manifold for Less restriction and 200 cell catalytic converter with a larger exhaust system. So now the programming to make it all come together. Wow no disappointment 60 more horsepower from the original horsepower.

My manager is getting his M3 ready for race day to fly. LOL

Wow just one week away from race day. We just downloaded the new program for the brain to manage the turbo ported the turbo to flow and the exhaust manifold porting also a less restrictive catalytic converter. All this should improve the airflow so the little mini can breathe better. Just test drove so Mini. Wow ! She is so happy ! I can't believe the difference this poor car has been plugged up for so long, she's ready to show her stuff at the track.

Setting the car up for race day November 8th at Auto Club Raceway Fontana.

Meanwhile on Saturdays now that we're closed I'm there working on my mini motor. this week if oil pump and timing chain

Another customer blow up, & cease their motor. Because of not changing their oil . These new engines very sophisticated and need clean oil. This is a new crate motor from the dealership $8,000. it's cheaper to change the oil !

Well got the GP wing from the body shop. Putting it together and adjusting the fit to be just right!

What a Friday, Mini day. But your seeing three generations! All different! but look very similar! But we at (Ed's BMW and MINI SERVICE) We got your Back, we know the differences!

Ok ,now I have most of the engine parts to start putting the engine together, evarything mach port . Got a JCW exhaust manifold and a Big K3 turbo, and Special CP heat treated pistons

So this customer comes in tells me he bought this car from the movie studios. Telling me he has all these autographs and pictures of the actors Mark Wahlberg and photos of the cars history in car shows xcetera. Now remember this movie was made in 2002, looking closer at this car all the bumpers in the covers side skirts are from another generation of Mini Coopers. Don't get me wrong really good looking car. the hood scoop is only for supercharger or turbocharger this car is neither. And it's a automatic, car is registered as of 2010 always a bridesmaid never a bride.

The shop mini's new engine. Look very closely see the pistons normally there silver, and these pistons are heat treated to keep the chambers cool with the new Big Turbo making a lot of turbo boost 24 normal is 17 PSI for a very short moment and drops down to six PSI effective horsepower 300 + oh hell yeah!

335 twin turbos and Mini Cooper turbos. These engine's carbon up the intake manifold and have a lot of lost power. We are able to blast a way the carbon
