- čas přidán 10. 11. 2015
- In the first of a multi-part series, the boys from Mighty Car Mods kick off a modification they've never done before - Supercharging a classic Mini Cooper. They've got a long way to go (literally) and a lot to learn as they start assembling all the parts they're going to need for this epic project.

Shoutout to my grandpa because that's the only way he can hear.
lol
+cleandmg1 hope you make it to the top.
ayy lamo
+cleandmg1 I'll pay that all day long haha
Lmao!
cars, people, stories, awesome.
+icebreaker Cars, people, stories - that there sums up what we love making this show. Cheers!
+Mighty Car Mods thanks guys
+icebreaker The wig, the catch phrase, the glasses, brilliant!
+Mighty Car Mods And that's why I love watching it, thank you!
+Mighty Car Mods That was mad car guys and their story
18:20 got some roadkill style action right there.
+Benjamin Kenney
Indoors? That's not gnarly enough for Roadkill !
+Akshat Rajan nah, ruining driveways is normal. Ruining super-clean garage floor because the tray was too small? That's Roadkill.
Now quantity of the fluid is not nearly that of a 5l V8, so yeah, not enough for Roadkill.
+TheLaXandro Throw some water on there and it'll still be a "bitchin' shade of rainbow"
+Benjamin Kenney "Can we at least try and bucket it?"
+TheLaXandro What tray? That's more of an afterthought.
For those who are wondering... The likely power output was around 63 bhp, and the Vmaxscart MPI kit will take it to 100 bhp, 58% power increase! (As well as a lot more torque both low and high range)
Lol the tinder joke
Pretty sure it was Grinder.
+Pieter post Whatever floats your boat.
+Pieter post
What? Moog not hetero?
+angeIoforte slicing melons alright
LOL IKR
I paused Fallout 4 for this...
Looooool
+dontfeedthecode lol same here!
Pff... Filthy casuals. I play fallout on my main screen and I have this on my second screen
+dontfeedthecode are you running it in a quantum computer???
+dontfeedthecode HAHAHAHAH dude, me too
He travelled to the arse end of London JUST for a supercharger? Nice :-) I have to respect the dedication and love for cars.
I understand what Moog is saying, I learned to drive in a Renault 4 (probably slower than the mini) but had so much fun that the crappy horsepower really didn't bother me.
I find 500 + hp cars fascinating, but I still find myself going towards crappy fun cars.
I think theese 300 plus horsepower cars aren't as fun as your 100 HP crappy cars
+EthanArtz™ I think that's why so many people enjoy miatas. They have well under 150hp but the handle so well and are a blast to drive neglecting how slow they are.
+s4n714g000 I understand where youre coming from. I love pos cars more than new cars. simply for the reason that when I beat on them I don't really feel bad and it's always funny when you're like ''oh god'' either because you're surprised or scared of death. 95 rusty corolla 1.6 manual 250k miles on it for 500$ was the best year and a half I've spent with a car. what a champ.
I also think you learn to respect HP. Learn to drive in a car with no power steering, no airbags, no "traction control" and you'll start off pretty good. (not bashing on those who didn't learn to drive in a deathtrap, It's just my point of view)
The important thing to get out of all of this, is that we learn to love and respect every car, not everyone has a 500 hp muscle car, or a super sporty japanese import.
And not everyone likes both of them...
+Mari Onette Completely agree with you, especially since starting on an overpowered machine is the exact mistake I made with my first bike.
For 2 years the only pleasure i got was squeezing the gas on straightaways, and was ridiculously limping my way through corners...
As i got better i was contemplating more and more switching to a little ninja 300 just to enjoy simple fun.
No doubt that I would have had much more fun and more skills if I directly started with that kind of bike !
Fully understand where moog is coming from.
+gaz south yeah man i too understand that hes from australia
HAHAHAH NOICE
+gaz south yeah look up the youtube vid "My 900+ HP Toyota Supra TURBO". Its a story about this dude that got so fixated with the numbers and power he was making that it just took away from the whole experience.
+gaz south K and?
I take my previous post back....
"I'm blowing my worm hole! I'm leaking down both thighs"!
That should be the next MCM shirt.
"reliability issues on the bmw mini" sounds about right.
Love it guys!!
what's next Tom? I loved project thunderbolt! if anyone hasn't already give this guy a look amazing channel!
+Tom's Turbo Garage Agreed, Great channel! I think Tom makes a MCM reference in one of his build videos for Thunderbolt!
+Tom's Turbo Garage why not do a collab with them?
+Tom's Turbo Garage ur awesome also buddy
+Tom's Turbo Garage where is the new miata episode Tom?
I didn't know you were allowed back in England. They put you on that island of yours for a reason, right?
You really don't understand what a joke is
You see that asteroid in space way over your head? Yeah that was the joke going that far over your head... life must be boring with no sense of humor
thdmtr Holy shit bro who took a shit in your cereal, Im guessing humor and sarcasm are not your strong point.
You know why I like Australia MOST Australians because it is the last country on earth you can have true intercontinental banter with. MOST of the people there understand the concept of a joke.
bet qwasd0r is from england, nobody from scotland or wales would say that, its olways the ignorant english
@@moiwilliams170 he isn't, that's why he said "they" and not "we"
Well, you did a video on supercharging before. Remember leafblowers?
You guys are truly awesome, it's incredible how down to earth and humble you are considering how popular you are around the world. Truly an inspirational pair of dudes for me personally, keep up the high quality content boys 👍👌
Isn't there just something so very cool and good about seeing some good friends having a proper grin together : ) Made my day to see this. Thanks fellas !
Just bought a mad 83 Mazda rx7!!
Sick! :D
Nice man! I have a 83 rx7 as well ahaha
Maaaaaadd. Chop some nerds for us :D
+Xavier Sosa Check your fuel pressure regulator, and save lots of money for repairs!
I just got a 260z and I'm planning on getting a 3 rotor for it
Your videos always impress me guys, production value, musical scores, camera work. You guys genuinely do a great job editing and putting the effort into your videos. But on top of it all, you guys remember to wish people like me a happy birthday every year from the forum and when I have responded, I've actually got responses back from you! Dedication to your fans is an amazing thing. Genuinely love you guys, wish I could meet you when I come down to Australia in December!
+Spliteye moto *hugz*
+Mighty Car Mods too cool! You guys saw this comment
Moog, Marty, this section of Mighty Car Mods is very special. The Mini you are showcasing is absolutely beautiful and the project will resonate in a dedicated way to each individual regardless if they are a fan of the car or not. But what really came to mind when I watched this episode and the unveiling of the Mini episode, was my own realization of how well evolved the quality of production your channel has undergo and how the details of quality ranging from picture, editing, lighting, content, and the collaboration of individual talents ( music, AM Auto, personality...) have meshed together to create the quality videos we get to enjoy. Thank you and I look forward to what's to come.
You guys should check out Project Binky! Some crazy englishmen putting a Celica GT4 drivetrain and engine in a Mini, WITHOUT making wild exterior mods to make it fit! Its CRAZY!
I think Marty should get a Datsun 510 now
Yeah maybe also a 510 wagon
2 AM and I was about to go to sleep, but fuck it sleep can wait.
+Dunkaccino25 idk
+Dunkaccino25 Same
+Dunkaccino25 Lol, I guess 2AM is the supercharging mini time :D
+Joel Cuce Any time is supercharging time :D
I truly loved my mini. 1990 Cooper in British Racing Green, and some rust of course. I spent a fortune getting the rust removed, then shoved on a stage 1 kit (straight through pipe, rejet and K&N filter), plus 7x13 Ultralight wheels. I could take on lots of fast cars around the twistys!
I love this project, keep it coming!
I have a 2006 Mini Cooper s and I have to say I absolutely love your car and I'm so excited to see how the supercharger turns out! I've always wanted to own an old Mini and give it some mad power!
that oem smile on your faces is so good to see
This is epic. I can't wait for when I do a build series!!!
your car is amazing!
eoin730 Too Kind! Thank you!!
You sir, are a legend:)
I Gripzie I Goes both ways my friend!! :D
+Kalvin Malli (ThatBurgundy240) your vids are great dude.
so down for this series! always wanted to learn more about superchargers! can't wait to see this process! this will be MAAADDD!!!
The passion in this video is amazing! so cool to watch again guys
I can't wait for part 2...
you watch it too
maaaaad
If you buy a mini, you're going to need a beanie as well.
of course it's part 1. IT'S ALWAYS PART 1. Great vid though, you guys always amaze me with how you keep up the formatting of the show. Can't wait for part 2!
mighty car mods, you are awesome. You have one big time fan here in southern Illinois, in the U.S.A. I'm a full time mechanic and love the stuff you guys do!
new video from mcm 😍
oh hi miniw, ootko säxän myyny?
talvel kelkkailuu?
ps. 30k spessuu? :D
+miniW perkele karjala takaisin viinaa ja makkaraa saatana
ei perkele
Is that MCM license plate real registration? if so its amazing! its fab even if not.
Yes it's real!
+Mighty Car Mods Maaaaaaaad
+Mighty Car Mods Maaaaaaaad
+Mighty Car Mods Maaaaaaaad
+Mighty Car Mods wow that's mad! Put it on the best car in the world too!
This is such a cool project you guys! Very informative too as I've been thinking about the possibilities of supercharging over turbocharging. Ican't wait to see more of this :)
I agree with the Dyno talk, they are just numbers! so many things come into play with cars that shape the way they drive.
see you next year for part 2
Time goes too fast when watching MCM!
Thanks MCM for returning to this format!
That little Mini is straight savage. I love the proportions, the wheels to the corners. I wish we could get them here.
If Marty or Moog reply to this comment, I'll punch myself in the face!
+benlyons83 Please don't
+benlyons83 DOOOO IT
+benlyons83 your move
+benlyons83 Vid or it didn't happen!
+benlyons83 JUST DO IT!!
I completely agree with moog about how the numbers can ruin the experience. I have a 1995 Saab 900 2.3 non-turbo, and I love it. It's widely known to be much slower than the turbo models, but in my experience, it doesn't take away from the fun. It doesn't always matter what your numbers are, because in the end, the car is just fun to drive. Thankfully, it still smokes fart can civics.
Haha that's awesome dude
I have no experience of working on cars at all but I really enjoy your video's. They are awsome and it makes me wanting to buy a car and start to learn everyting about how to do modifications myself! Keep up the mad and informative video's guys!
That Mini is absolutely gorgeous. I love the British racing green with the white coachlines. But that interior makes my jaw drop. The green leather and that beautiful wood! I love this car.
Rake would like this. I miss that guy.
You didn't get stabbed once on that whole train journey? Mad.
Their passion for the cars, makes Mighty Car Mods who they are, and why we love them.
For a while mcm fell, then out of nowhere amazing stuff came out I have always loved you guys!!!
you guys better black out the intercooler. you guys proved it was more efficient that way :)
+Dylan Mckenzie It wasn't. Check Engineering Explained channel on this topic.
+Dylan Mckenzie Nope. As explained by Engineering Explained a black intercooler is less efficient. Their test was flawed.
Engineering explained isn't without faults either. Just throwing that out there.
+Freemananana Not on that specific video.
lolatmyage I haven't seen that specific video, but several of his videos are mis-informed. I did enjoy several of them though.
MCM does to the global price of Minis what they already did to the price of Cuores..
They were already expensive and increasing in value
+SonofSilas Maybe we get all the MCM fans out there to go buy themselves a Daewoo Matiz. Then we do a few episodes on them. Then once they've increased in value, we all sell them and go buy Supras with the profit!
Mighty Car Mods Why has this not been done already?
I like the way you asked Marty if this was the right corner and he said "no next one" and you still went around the corner because you were "committed" (which means you had indicated, slowed and was able to take the corner) without changing your mind and just pulling back into traffic and almost causing an accident. Thumbs up!!! Moog mate there are not many drivers on the roads like you.
Just subscribed to this channel was binge watching alot of the content yesterday, now I find this... This Channel is Mad Mate
Could have shared the numbers with us, just because he is a bit odd dont mean the rest of us are, hahaha
You could have let US know the dyno results!
+MattsMotorz Moog edits the videos!
Oh! Didn't know that!
they did say it was what it should be so off the top of my head it's about 63bhp
Visited your channel to find I need to watch part 1,2,3,4 to be up to date MY day just got AWESOME
Love 'proper' Minis!!!!!! I've had 2 and would love to get one like this, the 1.3i.That's a sweet looking motor, guys. Can't wait for the rest.....
the bmw 'mini' should be called a 'medium' instead, judging by the size of it.
Yay now to wait for a month for the next episode then another month for the final episode :D {sarcasm}
I'm so glad to be excited about the next episode of mcm. thanks you guys
I watched this series just after I sold my 1991 Mini Cooper and this series made me want it back again. Eventually I've bought a 2000 Mini Cooper the last of the great Minis! which I love by the way. Great videos and I'd love to see more videos on your JDM Mini.
0:40 You can't have don chemical supercharging on the Honda, You never had a Honda....
+Ethan Gee the honda s2000 a while ago they fitted nitrous onto
Yes, but they didn't have one, it was all a dream. Remember?
Ethan Gee idk it was ages ago :p
+Ethan Gee true but if you go waaaaaaaaaaaay the fuck back they had a civic too
I think the stock car is making around 65bhp on the wheels.
you mean 65 hp to the wheels.
+evoL0VE On the wheel mean the wheel get inly 65ish powah while enging like 70ish
+Aimin Rosli If remember rightly they should make about 40bhp. You lose alot more then 5hp through the transmission I think it's more like 20.
+evoL0VE People that feel the need to correct others bug me.
+Stephen Glasbrook You're wrong.... they bug everyone lol
Enjoyed this episode more than the usual, you get just keep getting better!
My grandparents surprised me last year with a used 05 Mini Cooper convertible and I love the thing to pieces! It reminds me of the go kart I had years ago. What the mini lacks in horsepower it makes up for in cornering and considering I have the cheapest tired available, it sticks to the ground. Just last year my uncle and I machined a custom shifter knob out of a chunk of aluminum. I'm very happy that BMW made the standard transmission an option for the mini as well because that adds to the fun factor. On top of that, these little cars do surprisingly well in snowy conditions. My mom has an 08 GMC Acadia SLT with the best set of all season tires available and yet it slides all over the place. And her car is front wheel drive too and we both have open differentials. Don't judge a book by its cover, go for a ride in a mini before you make up your mind!
very casey neistat of you guys.
Before even watching I couldn't wait for the second part! Bleh!
Dos Vader is so charismatic and a natural in front of the camera, fantastic addition to the series!
Maaaaaaad. Can't wait to see it finished. A part of me has always wanted a mini.
so much for goin to bed....
Anyone talking shit about BMW obviously hasn't driven one. I was a Nissan 240sx fanboy, I tried a BMW E36 M3, now I respect BMWs...
+zRA1Nz They're specifically talking about the new Mini made by BMW. I don't think anyone thinks 'M' cars are crap... quite the opposite.
Skylar Garrett Cool less fun for you and more fun for me. Keep your opinions to yourself. Obviously you're just mad cause we can have fun in a $2000 car while you sit behind your computer crying cause you can't.
After about 20-45 minutes of watching bmw e46 m3 videos it's now on the list of the cars I want
Nice change of pace to see you guys put a supercharger on something. I can't wait to see how much power you'll make!
Glad to see Dose Vader expanded upon a bit! He always just seemed to blend in the background in the other videos. It was fun to learn about him a little.
33rd comment nice vid by the way
nice you watched the video in 2 mins
yeah bro :)
Always some guest who do all the work.. I miss the old times.. People learn from mistakes. If professional do all the work, then mistakes do not happen. Losing respect episode by episode...
Mad as always! Just love how good the sound is in your videos.
Cheers from Germany (:
It doesn't get better than this! Once again boys great job!
The smile on his face 15 minutes in just shows how much he adores and is proud of his car, it's awesome:)
Epic! i'm going through something similar at the moment (a turbo instead!). Cant wait for episode 2. keep it up guys
Me and my partner have an 88 mini from Japan. It's capacity is only 998cc but we were amazed at the power hike we got from a better exhaust , twin carb and electronic ignition upgrade. I cant imagine how much fun a supercharged 1275cc version would be but I'm sure it will be an absolute blast. Looking forward to the finished result !
I like the small interviews and stories behind the individuals who are helping or providing parts. Brings more life into the video and gives it more body... Even for just a 19min video.
this upload just made my week sooo much better !
got me all emotional and stuff watchin this. keep up the great work guys.
Most definitely the best car channel on CZcams hands down.
Can't wait for the build and end results! so many projects, what haven't you guys done lol
i really liked the little back story you guys put in. i recommend more of that.
awesome video, never dissapointed with an episode of MCM maaaaadness!
Wow.. this is a step up in production values yet again.. Love the people/human story too plus this is a truly special upgrade for the car.
Keep up the good work guys! My favorite show on CZcams.
Just love the old Mini, way back in Denmark was my very first car and I'm 6' 2" tall, had small racing steering in it just so I could get in first gear, here in Canada they really look tiny, love your show
Really enjoyed the quick bio of AM Auto. Turbo Yoda and Dose Vader are a class act.
About time you guys gave some love to supercharging!
the naturally aspirated sound at 14.36 is intoxicating. Fun build, awesome car. I have a feeling the Supercharger whine, though, may hurt the experience. Can't wait to see. (great video!!!)
and as he sits here patiently waiting for the next episode. the young boy can only imagine how much fun that mini must be to drive.... BEST.SHOW.EVER. Keep dropping the videos cause they inspire and motivate a lot of non petrol heads to become petrol heads and is really entertaining to learn from...
So excited guys! Mad respect for reasons on not knowing Dyno numbers, can't say I relate too much (from having no Dyno time) but I can understand the reasoning.
The comment Moog makes about the HP of the car is so spot on. I would go as far as to say it's one of the most inspired and well thought out comments I've seen in a car video, ever. It's so true that your car becomes the number of horses under the hood (think of all the other CZcams video titles - "1200 HP Supra"). The explanation is very insightful as well. We'll put Moog, well put.
LOL, Moog's face when he's flooring it... that right there is what this is all about.
YES! Ive been waiting for you guys to Supercharge a car!!!
the smile on moog's face @ 14:40+ is just priceless, that is the face of an incredibly happy driver.
Guys, your videos are awesome! I've owned 3 minis over the years bot in France and Sydney Australia. I've switched to an MGB but gosh I do miss my minis though! Cool project, I'm looking into supercharging my b engine too.
Love it guys first a bug now a mini you guys are killing it, what's next???? Resto mod some JDM maddddneeessss
