Why not go with the r53 throttle body as well?

Hello friend, I really liked the video, what diameter is the exhaust pipe???

Good video man, is there no pilot bearing on these cars? I didnt see one in the video. Priming up to do this job.

Hello, I still need to install the brake booster tube with a T. Since I made the mod I can't activate the traction control. The light comes on and is always deactivated, I cannot activate it even by pressing the button. and the rpm oscillates a little

Wher did you put the pcv filter pipe thanksdid you just blank the pcv

Thanks for your help mate really appreciated:)

Where did the break booster pipe go from the breaks on the manifold as I got r50 doing the same as you

Nothing fits in the cigarette port I can't seem to get anything to fit what do I buy that fits?

Thanks buddy

Was this with the r53 intake still,and have you done anything with the flywheel 👍🏻

Where do you run the brake booster line?

Very useful - The video would half the length by editing the ERMs out of it

a bandsaw would do wonders. Grinders suck at getting through thick aluminum.

Thx for the help

Hello Chistian, great video. I would like make the same to mi mini R50, could you tell me how long the aluminum addition is? And what do you need to change or adapt to make everything work correctly? Thank you

You routed the belt wrongly. A belt's face should never touch a pulley -- it needed to be routed up and around it, at least that's what the Toyota workshop manual says.

Put a dab of grease on the base to hold the rubber washers still while lowering the coil onto its position.

Using copper grease on wheel nuts is not advised as it can cause a hydraulic action and loosen the nuts. Here is an exert from copper grease users guide... Is it OK to put copper grease on wheel nuts? Just use a wire brush on your bolts and clean out the threads in the hub. The reason why people say no, is because the grease can act as a hydraulic between the threads and cause them to undo, and give false torque readings.8 Sept 2014

Others didnt work. Thanks

So, is there any update on the R53 intake manifold modification?

Finish tis go-kart?????

Thank you for posting this video.

Thanku so much🎉🎉

Did your standard cooper ecu still work or wat way u go about it

So... what happen with this R50? do you sell it or what? :(

Please, please, please stop saying umm, Umm, umm. Other than that very informative, thanks.

Many thanks mate. Keep'em coming. Cheers!

Hi mate. I’m planning on doing this to mine. But I have a question? The back hose that’s hanging next to the throttle body, whereabouts did connect that to? Cheers

Did this on mine. Tbh ur better off running the stock intake, u have no low end power, acceleration is shockingly bad (almost like it was a 1L) and it has a massive flat spot between 3k and 5k rpm where I can’t accelerate. Idk if I did something wrong but it also idled like a dog😂

What cc is that engine

I done the same thing to my R50. But i did a much nicer job. Even machined and tapped the intake manifold so it could take the vacuum lines properly. I also used an R53 throttle body .. Shame i cant post a photo.

Thanks man.. saved looking for the manual

Salut Jolie adaptateur tu peux m'envoyer 1 SAIT bien passé, ell6 donne mieux le métal et plus Jolie merci de nous appelons à prendre soin de nôtre mini . A bientôt jatten votre raisons amitié greg

Who the hell change the oil every 15,000 miles

I am putting this system on my R52. Spacers/or bending the middle pipe is recommended. Do you know what spacers I'd need? Cheers

How much $$$ you can sell me one same adapter ,??

Did it run alright after? No need for a tune?

Cheers for this, I think I'll be replacing my 02's R50 OEM exhaust now. Any problems with the post/pre cat sensors doing this? 99% sure my engine light coming on is due to holes I can feel air from and the silencer wadding disintegrating.

Would you recommend this mod? As I’ll be doing the same and putting the r53 throttle body on too!

Top job thanks doing my later today

Hi Chris. Good video! I’ve got a power fold mirror that’s working but doesn’t stop in the top fold position, it just keeps going round! Any ideas? Fixable?

Cheers for a proper full explanation how to do this, very helpful

What type of paint would you recommend for the black plastic trims if only able to sand by hand without removal? I have an R50 with R51/52 upgrades but it has both some scratching and also dried body paint on the arches - not looking for a perfect result exactly, just planning to sand and respray in situ so I haven't got to fit and buy all the clips again. Would a matte or silk black plastic spray work over primer or do I need the factory paint?

et a quoi ça sert çà chef?

Just a question on the vacuum lines. Where did you run your brake booster line? Also what did you do with the other crankcase line that you broke? Thanks

Accurate, quick, easy, Thanks.

what body kit is on the car

My Mini r50 has captive bolts on the back side of the flange plate. Is this normal.

As the spark plugs are fitted with a crush washer it’s important to torque them to spec. If the plug becomes loose in the cylinder head it’s oscillation in the spark plug hole slowly wears away at the threads and the plug fires out. It’s quite common with aluminium cylinder heads.

How much faster. Changing manifold
