## Get more from your supercharged MINI

R53SHOP supplies selected performance components and offers specialist workshop installation in Melbourne.

## Popular R53 performance modifications

### Supercharger reduction pulleys

A smaller supercharger pulley increases supercharger speed relative to engine speed. Pulley upgrades should be selected alongside the appropriate belt and supporting components for your specific setup.

### Spark plugs and ignition

Choosing suitable spark plugs is important when modifying a supercharged engine. The correct specification depends on your engine condition, modification level and tuning requirements.

### Intake upgrades

Intake components can help support your engine setup. Check compatibility, airflow requirements and heat management before selecting an intake system.

### Intercooler upgrades

Additional intercooling capacity can help manage intake-air temperatures under demanding conditions. An upgraded intercooler may be worth considering as part of a properly planned performance package.

### Supporting modifications

A reliable performance build also depends on engine condition, cooling, belt condition and appropriate tuning. The right combination of parts is more important than fitting upgrades without considering the overall setup.
