For a minimal amount of money, the MINI Cooper S Supercharger Pulley can make even the Monday commute seem like a run around Laguna Seca. The stock pulley is one of the first things BMW MINI Cooper S owners replace to increase the performance of their car. Changing to a 15% smaller supercharger pulley on an otherwise stock motor has been shown, through independent testing, to provide increases of 15-20 horsepower with similar increases in torque.
The smaller supercharger pulley causes the unit to spin faster and create more boost. More boost=bigger grin! Stock Mini Cooper S engines will see a 3-4 pound increase in boost. Add to that a modified intake or exhaust and your Mini Cooper S will have even bigger power gains. MINI Cooper S tuners, including the venerable John Cooper Works, have extensively tested the 15% reduction supercharger pulley and found it to be ideal for street and track use.
Included is an installation CD and tool that with a moderate amount of mechanical ability makes installing the supercharger pulley the ideal weekend project. We've been told that it makes a great gift for the Mini Cooper S Enthusiast too.
For the even more adventurous, changing to a 19% reduction pulley will have the boost kicking in 750rpm sooner than the 15% pulley.
The 19% Mini Cooper S Supercharger Pulley is ideal for street driving conditions ONLY! It is not recommended for the long high revving situations typically seen on the racetrack! Sustained 6000-7600rpm generates more heat reducing the 19% pulley's effectiveness.
There simply is no greater bang for the buck out there.
PULLEY CONSTRUCTION This pulley is made from aircraft quality 6061T6 heat treated aluminum and uses a taper fit design for easy installation. Securing the pulley are 6 grade 10 stainless steel bolts. This ensures equal distribution of clamping force, zero corrosion and strength needed for this application. We've also anodized the pulley black to maintain a stock appearance thus avoiding any blatant indication of the upgrade. Stealthy, just the way we like it!
PULLEY WEIGHT Rotational weight is a critical factor that impacts supercharger performance. Other pullies on the market that are made of stainless steel weigh more than the stock pulley! This directly affects how fast the supercharger reaches full boost. Madness pullies weigh less than half the weight while maintaining excellent reliability.
Stock MINI Pulley = 11.0oz/311g
Stainless steel 15% pulley = 16.0oz/501g Stainless steel 19% pulley = 13.2oz/374g
Madness lightweight 15% pulley = 5.5oz/155g Madness lightweight 19% pulley = 5.0oz/125g
REMOVAL TOOL Using our simple pulley removal tool allows you to remove the stock pulley with ease. Most removals take just 5-10 minutes. Our removal tool also does not destroy the stock pulley allowing you to reinstall it if necessary. ALIGNMENT Our self alignment pulley ensures 100% accuracy during pulley installation ensuring no thrown belts from improper installation. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Included with every kit is a CD containing installation instructions with lots of pictures to assist you or whoever you might have doing the work.
Also recommended are a set of cooler running spark plugs. This simple upgrade gains you 1-3hp and more importantly helps prevent and pre-detonation that might occur from higher boost temperatures. Cooler running plugs help transfer the added heat into the cylinder head helping to reduce in cylinder temperatures by a few degrees. This helps prevent and pre-detonation from occurring. Inexpensive insurance is the way we look at it.

I purchased the 15% reduction pulley along with the recommended cooler running spark plugs. This upgrade made a HUGE!!! improvement. I couldn't believe it was my mini! Absolutely amazing! This is my second purchase from George and the gang, and I rest easy knowing their parts are in my vehicle. FYI: You made also need to replace belt tensioner and belt if they are worn. Be prepared for this when having installed. Thanks again for all your hard work George.

The first step on the way to Madness stage two was a 15% pulley. I'm mechanically competent and after looking things over and noting the need for a pulley removal tool, I did the only sane thing and had George install it. The immediate gain in horse power was pretty amazing. There were no drivability issues and the fun factor of a car that was already great increased dramatically
Best bang-for-the-buck modification going. The car ran rich after installation, as was expected.

"the installation instructions provided were top notch allowing my mechanic to complete their first time installation in under 3 hours. My Cooper S now feels the way it should have from the factory" Sharif Nadir, Seattle

â€I just wanted to take the time to praise you for your pulley and puller kit. I purchased one last week on the web and within four days had it installed. The product is of good quality, the puller a huge help, and the instructions easy enough for an illiterate child to follow. What more can I say but that my MINI is now a car that I love to drive. Before my MCS just did not feel sorted. There were times when I got so damn exasperated at the thing's lack of lower end and hustle. Now, with only your pulley, my MCS really hustles! Finally I have the car I wanted and I might not even be sad to have it replace my SC Miata! This is really saying a lot!" Ian F. Griswold
