Mini Cooper S R53 JCW – Vacuum Gain System VGS Modification

Posted in Mini Cooper S R53 JCW

As usual, the Mini Cooper S with the Eaton M45 supercharger also has a bypass valve, which helps with fuel economy and lighten the load on the supercharger during idling (for instance). On NAM (North American Motoring forum) I noticed a popular mod, which is also known as the VGS or Vacuum Gain System modification.

Basically, the VGS mod changes the way the Bypass valve is operated. From indirect vacuum to direct vacuum, allowing faster response of the butterfly valve, but also keeping it shut better so no boost is lost.

I liked it in the beginning, but it makes for a rough driving experience. So in the end I reverted and never went back. Thats why we experiment 🙂

Renault Clio RS 172 Phase 1 Custom CAI

Posted in Blog Entries

Een mod die ik al een tijdje op de agenda had staan, een custom Cold Air Intake, geïnspireerd op de K-Tec siliconen intake. Op zoek gegaan naar de juiste onderdelen, met hulp van ClioSport.net en AliExpress was het zo gepiept en kwam ik uit op de volgende oplossing. Zou volgens de dyno winst moeten geven, plus het inductie geluid is heerlijk!

Apexi Power Intake + Breather filter

Vroegtijdige oplossing (nog niet alles binnen)

First CAI mod setup

En toen alles binnenkwam kon ik alles netjes afmaken. De aluminium 90 graden bocht is ingepakt in heatwrap, helpt goed tegen de stralingswarmte van het grote 2 liter blok in het vooronder.
