you know what, I am not to sure. It came with the car. I have seen many Mini's with it though, I thought it was factory made.

This thing is a blast to drive, handles so well. Only 2400 lbs, but solid at that. I also think the supercharger was upgraded from stock.

Is his the newer turbo'd one?

when it was bought, it was 19kish, mileage atm is around 86k and pulling hard. I havent ridden in a jrsc-r or a jrsc-s ep3 before, so I wouldn't be able to compare.

cool car! My sister loves them (not making fun or anything) and I had a chance to drive a friends base model. Can't imagine how much fun a SC'ed one is :D

but is it faster than regular modded ep3? oh, can you give me some info of what should watch out in buying one? does the mini engine last over 200k miles?

holy sh*t, the difference is extreme. I should post a video of a dig-60ish, its damn good

like is said above, it would easily blow the modded ep3 out of the water, seeing as its like 500 lbs lighter, and has more power/torque. I could look up the speccs for the S/C Mini engine, but it wouldn't be accurate because it has an upgraded S/C. You can throw the this thing into corners that the ep3 couldn't dream of. I'm sure you know that the Mini's are now made by BMW, so they are pretty reliable. The engines are single over head cam, 1.6 liter. The only bad thing about the Mini, is that work is extremely expensive on them. I haven't heard of people having problems with mileage on the engines.
