R53

Nothing more needs to be said, I could just close this thread now...heh

 

Yeah, you're right, there's no reason to go back 10 years, you'd have to go back farther than 10 years, maybe 20 or so, to get to the NSX, or any other car for that matter that you actually drive without more assistance than your average nursing home...

I guess it's just me, but I prefer a driver that makes the car look great, rather than a car that makes the driver look great.

 

Jason, put MINI Margi(08 R56 N14 MCS/JCWm) in the garage and pick up an R53.

You can build it up and beat the S**t out of it and it will ask for more.

If you add the soul of an R53 to an R56 you will just have a great running car that's just butt ugly. :lol::lol::lol:

 

As long as you take care of your MINI it will run as long as you do Jason. Just remember to eat walnuts & kerfuffle.

 

If you switch, do you intend to use Mobil 1 or Castrol?

 

Detail, details.

Just put all of that in there with a CAI, 1,000,000cc injectors, a good tune, and be done with it.

 

I would like to hear Dave O. weigh in on this. I think he would advise you stay far away from an R53 :lol::lol::lol:

 

Its best if you use them to make a smoothie. Add a little pineapple and maybe some blue berries.

 

^^^ A great recipe. Just add a couple of lug nut for your daily fiber.....

 

Neither.

Put a flux capicitor in it.

 

Jason,
Yes, I have an R53, but there's a reason MINI doesn't use the N14 anymore.

Just my 2 cents.

 

OTOH-the N14 NEW from MINI engines are quite robust-I am now at 2000 miles and counting on our shop car with no oil useage and it is running great. see my garage and build threads for ongoing updates. new from MINI list price 4296.00 currently, complete from valve cover to oilpan, includes new water pump and thermostat and spark plugs. swap on your manifolds and wiring harness, add oil and go

 

motoring alliance, where the answer to any question is always R53.

 

Get anther N14 engine from a wrecking yard, maybe a JCW engine.

Dave

 

Do the walnuts and the kerfuffle have to be mixed or can they be eaten separately?

 

The Flux Capacitor is not the power source. What you'll actually be needing is a Mr. Fusion. Remember, the Flux Capacitor needs 1.21 GIGAWATS!

 

Not sure of the smog laws in Texas? But here in Kalifornia, that wouldn't fly, never pass smog. You can't even replace a engine here with all electric, still wouldn't pass emissions :crazy: "Where do I stick the sensor in?" :lol:

 

I'd look for an N18 engine, it makes more HP, better valve control with double vanos, better fuel economy, no issues with timing chains or burning oil etc and it will fit right in with no modifications. The N18 engine is all aluminum, so it will be lighter than the supercharged engine too.
