what is the error code if having this problem ?
I have a 2016 Mini S Countryman All4. Getting Engine Malfunction…Engine Operating at reduced output. Getting P1338 code. Starts take longer now. Definitely feel hesitation in acceleration. Not sure if it’s my imagination but there a certain odor inside the cabin when I put the heat on. This Engine Malfunction alert comes on and off. As per a lot of forums and CZcams, wastegate/sensor likely issue. Is it OK to operate the vehicle until repair can be made? I’ve already replaced the coils/plugs, air filter, and mass air flow sensors as many said to replace these before digging deeper into more expensive repairs. The MAF was definitely not working, so that was easily replaced. Would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you.
new N14 engine owner here, and I just wanted to say thanks so VERY VERY much for these videos!!! I LOVE DIY work, so this is truly increduble to us.
Thank you! 🙏
Also a new Mini S Clubman owner here and this is my go to channel for all things R56
@@ProjectMini hey I had a couple questions about my mini
Got mine about when you left this comment and I’ve had to change fuel pump, spark plugs, turbo flapper, actuator, and dv. And reverse said goodbye. Footwell module throws all types of codes… How’s yours holding up lol?
Thanks Eric! My R56 is running smooth like jazz.
I have getting 2884 since the turbo replaced, thanks for the info, I am going to try it out tomorrow.
Love the vids. I bought a jcw jp package. Rebuitl engine. Got on it the half engine light came on. Watched your vid. Lossend the gate up and its a whole new car!!
I’m glad it helped you 👍
Interesting tips like always great work
Thank you 🙏
need help I have a 2010 mini Cooper s want to upgrade my turbo to a jcw turbo can you please send me a List of what i need ? and do I need to reprogram?thanks
I've got 110k miles on my R55. It has a very worn wastegate pivot. Should I just replace the wastegate and will I get more miles out of my turbo or should I just replace the turbo to avoid another problem?
Hello, great video. I believe my wastegate needs to be rebuilt. What is the p/n for the wastegate rebuild
Eric, do you have an opinion on the JMTC 40mm upgrade turbocharger for my 2014 Countryman Sx4?
Short, clear and cool... Thanks a lot!
So is the wastegate completely closed where you have it set?
I have a 2008 mini r56 I’ve bin noticing lack of power when I accelerate so as I ease off the pedal I can hear my turbo Winding its loud any advice would be appreciated thanks
Hello, I have a 2012 Mini Countyman S All4 with boost issues. Is there a way to use the Foxwell 510 Elite scanner to monitor boost pressure?
Great thread, someone on one of the forums said you can add 2lbs of boost by adjusting the actuator arm in slightly? But you are saying it only adjusts when the boost hits?
My wife has a 2012 mini countryman and the mechanic says it needs a new turbo as the waste gate is stuck open - do you have an y video's to check the wastegate or clean it to see if it is just wear or maintenance needed ?
I'm in Brazil I have a mini cooper S R56 what is the correct turbine setting?
You have the best mini videos out... very informative
Thank you 🙏
@@ProjectMini I sent you a message on your Facebook for your group project mini and for mini DIY I was trying to see if you need it help with the admin because the Mini Cooper DIY getting spammed like crazy.
@@billyreese1502 I don’t have access to that group anymore. My Facebook got hacked over a year ago and i couldn’t get it back
@@ProjectMini I understand I've been there. You should make a new one Mini Cooper DIY 2.0 or something
@@ProjectMini do you have a Facebook or something I got a question I'd like to ask you about a mini I'm working on just to pick your brain if you don't mind
I know this is late lol
Love your channel
Just wondering what the standard boost pressure is on a Mini 2010 n14b16 r56 jcw is?
I have no clue
If you can help that would be great 👍
I’ve got a cooper sd turbo works I’ve just had 2 turbos go down within days any idea
I get the code and feel like a back pressure When I push it hard especially past 4000 RPM be the issue that my actuator is not adjusted correctly and I’m over boosting too much
very interresting video one like for this video 👍✌
Thank you 🙏
What if your replacing the waste gate flapper?... stock setting is 6" from the inside of the wastegate actuator mounting plate, to the inside of the waste gate flapper arm, give or take +3mm/-3mm. That will give you OEM starting point.
i just removed my turbo to replace oil lines and i realized that the flap was open. is it normal?
Good
@project mini can you send me link to wastegate replacement thanks. !!
Is there a wastegate flapper replacement video yet?
What are the symptoms of a loose waste-gate? When I get on my R56 S Stage 3 it starts “popping off” repeatedly and quickly, but nit every time and when I accelerate without flooring it everything sounds fine. Have no idea if any codes are being thrown, but the dash warning lights are all normal (off).
got the JMTC 40mm turbo, and after 8 months the wastegate is actuator is shot. Crazy amount of rattle.
We’re is the video of who to replace the wastegate? Thanks
By any chance would you know what I need, and which parts fit to turbo an r56 N/A mini?
I couldn’t tell you, but it would be way cheaper to sell the NA Mini and buy an S
Found it!
Hi. Some times I got a yello half engine. What is that means?
It means you have a problem that needs to be looked at as soon as you can. It could be something very simple like a new battery, or it could be something bad and it will fail soon. The sooner you get it looked at the better. You would have a stored code there even if it goes away so definitely see what codes are stored.
I have a Mini Cooper 2C57
Is this a vacuum operated wastegate? If so, why? Most wastegates I'm aware of are held shut with a the actuator spring and use boost pressure to push them open. Seems quite counterproductive to use vacuum, as you don't have any under boost conditions.
The vacuum pump is electric.
What’s the target boost for a stock R56 Jcw turbo?
I’ve heard both 17 psi and 19 psi, I’m not sure what is true since I’ve never owned a JCW
Thank you
What about 2013 MCS ?
Everything good? Trying to join the group on Facebook? Haven’t been able to join and it also says that the group may go against TOS or something like that. Anyone else had this?
Yes. He's MIA.
I WANNA be at full boost at 3500rpm lol
FYI..... The starting point is to have 150.5 mm (+/-2mn) from the back of the mounting plate (the side facing the rod and nuts) for the vacuum actuator to the right side of the thingy that the two nuts sandwich. Another way to describe what I'm saying is the point on the left side of the nut that's between the thingy and the vacuum actuator. It's the point where that nut touches the thingy connected to the waste gate linkage.
Mine is missing the same bolt and I can't put a new one on there. Any ideas?
