You should look here as well... http://www.magnusonp...ts.com/mp45.htm these are what's used in the Moss kits although we don't offer an kit for Mini YET!

AUTOROTOR IS PROBABLY THE BEST BET FOR SIZE AND LOOKS AND IS PROBABLY BETTER SUITED TO A SUCK THROUGH SET UP BUT IS FAR MORE EXPENSIVE. P.S THE EATON M45 CAN BE SET UP 98% PERFECT IF U TAKE IT TO SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING (VMAX) FITTED MY VMAX KIT ON 1275 MG LUMP (BOG STANDARD ) IT ACHIEVED 109BHP AT WHEELS WHICH IS NOT BAD CONSIDERING THE CAR HAD DONE 70000 MILES AND RAN A DECOMP PLATE. BUT SINCE MY NEW ENGINE - 1293CC,11CC PISTONS 37/31 VALVES AND NO DECOMP PLATE AND 8PSI IT RUNS 10 TIMES BETTER, NO FUELLING ISSUES AND BETTER MPG. I WOULD SAY EATON FOR READILY AVAILABLE SPARES ASWELL. THE ONLY THING THAT WORRIES ME WITH THE EATONS IS THAT THE ROTORS POSSIBLY WONT LAST TO LONG AS THEY R ONLY MEANT FOR A BLOW THROUGH SET UP. HOWEVER NO PROBS YET AND ITS BEEN A YEAR. I THINK MOST THE PROBS WITH THE EATONS IS OVER BOOSTING THEM, ANYTHING ABOVE 11PSI IS REALLY NOT RECOMMENDED AND FROM A BIT OF RESEARCH ANYTHING OVER TEN PSI ITLL START EATING MORE HORSEPOWER THAN ITS PUTTING IN AT HIGH REVS. IF U CAN GET A 2.9 DIFF ASWELL IF RUNNING 10"WHEELS. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Please dont waste your money and get a super charger get a turbo instead.

No get a supercharger if you wan't a turbo and big bhp get an evo or a skyline
supercharger's (my opinion) suit mini's well even for everyday use ,if properly set up.

[greymini78]

Agreed,superchargers tend to let gearboxes last longer than turbos to as u dont have that sudden kick of power that tends to annihalate the drops on turbos,but as with any upgrade its always a balancing act between power and reliability. Mine runs at about 120bhp which i would say is the max for a pretty standard box with only a comp diff pin. I also reckon my longer final drive could be a factor in how long the box lasts.Basically whatever route u go down unless youre willing to spend mega bucks on top boxes and the like then dont go mad.

That's the question:

A. opcon: made to your to cars specs and a bit more expensive
B. eaton: like all others but a 1000 pound cheaper

if I'm right you can get more power from the opcon plus its more efficient?

but the eaton is more readily available

can some one do a poll as i dont no how to do it on here as it would be intresting to see what people say

in my opinion i would rather have a slightly lower running live than have a longer lasting charger that is harder and more expensive to locate, you can pick up a good eaton with 30k on it for about £100+ on ebay so its no biggie if the eaton dies.
