The New Mini Performance Handbook (Performance How-To)
Editorial Review :: Since its introduction to the U.S. market in 2002, the MINI Cooper and Cooper S have been among the hottest-selling subcompact hatchbacks on the market. Popular in road rally and autocross, as well as on the street, the new MINI has developed an intense following among driving and automotive design enthusiasts.
This book is designed to take the reader through the possibilities for performance upgrades, including step-by-step procedures for common upgrades including shocks and springs, brakes, clutch and flywheel, turbo replacement, supercharger pulley replacement, intake, exhaust, and even installing a limited slip differential.
Additionally, example cars are presented that show how many performance modifications come together to make a car that is well-balanced and fun to drive. Whether you are prepping your MINI for the street or for competition, this book covers everything by using real-world examples and detailed instruction with color photography throughout.

G-Box Performance Module for 2002-2009 Mini Cooper
Editorial Review :: The G-Box functions by intercepting sensor outputs, modifying them, and outputting them to the vehicle's onboard computer. The G-Box is compatible with most popular performance upgrades such as aftermarket intake and exhaust systems, low boost forced induction systems, lightened and/or underdrive pulley kits, grounding kits, and many others. The G-Box enhances performance in multiple ways. First, it modifies signals being read by the ECU, causing an adjustment to the fuel curve, which is what creates the increase in horsepower and torque, as well as improves throttle response and shift speed. When the ECU sees these modified signals it provides a different set of fuel and ignition maps than it would under factory operating conditions. A second feature of the G-Box is it's "High-Heat Signal Correction." In short, when the engine compartment heats up, some sensors that relay pertinent fuel curve contingent information to the ECU begin to lose accuracy due to heat absorption into the sensor. The ECU then reads these incorrect signals, and leans out, or otherwise incorrectly alters the fuel curve, which hampers performance. These errors cannot be corrected from within the ECU, there must be an independent unit to correct these errors. The G-Box is designed to compensate for these signal errors. Additionally, our easy to follow instructions will allow you to get your module installed in about 15 minutes.

The ECU then reads these incorrect signals, and leans out, or otherwise incorrectly alters the fuel curve, which hampers performance. These errors cannot be corrected from within the computer, there must be an independent unit to correct these errors. The Tri-Phase is designed to automatically compensate for these signal errors. Additionally, our easy to follow, step-by-step instructions will allow you to get your module installed in about 20 minutes, even if you don't have any mechanical experience.

G-Box Gold Series Performance Module for 2002-2009 Mini Cooper
Editorial Review :: The G-Box Gold Series works on the same premise as the original G-Box, however the Gold Series module utilizes a more aggressive set of operating parameters. The module functions by intercepting sensor outputs, modifying them, and outputting them to the vehicle's onboard computer. Even though the parameters of the Gold Series module are more aggressive than those of the original G-Box, most users are still able to attain significant performance gains without the use of premium fuel. The Gold Series module is also compatible with most popular performance upgrades such as aftermarket intake and exhaust systems, low boost forced induction systems, lightened and/or underdrive pulley kits, grounding kits, and many others. The G-Box Gold Series enhances performance in multiple ways.
