Unlike a turbocharger, which is propelled by high pressure exhaust gas, a supercharger is driven by a belt connected to the crankshaft. You therefore do not suffer the effects of 'turbo-lag' (where there are not enough exhaust gases to compress the quantity of air required lower down in the rev range). The MINI supercharger is the Eaton M45; which is a roots blower. This means that within the turbine housing, two specially crafted lobes with minimal clearance of one another spin in order to compress air, which then passes through the horn, in to the intercooler, out the other side and in to the head and cylinder block. The way the lobes spin is that two cogs interlink at one end outside of the main air-flow path, and connect to a pulley on the outside of the turbine housing.
As this pulley is driven by a belt connecting it to a crank, the lobes spin at a rate that compresses enough air to keep the engine running smooth. The best part is that by reducing this supercharger pulley, an extremely simple modification, you can easily make the lobes spin even faster; which means more compressed air to mix fuel with. Once this has been done, it results in a bigger combustion and a lot more power.
It's worth noting at this point, that in order to build a reliable engine, it is advised that you build it up as a complete package. As such an uprated intercooler such as the Airtec Mini Cooper S R53 Intercooler perfectly complements your reduced supercharger pulley. By making the supercharger work harder, it means there is a lot more air to cool which the standard intercooler will struggle to efficiently cool; especially in countries with a relatively hot climate. Bear in mind that MINI themselves felt the need to upgrade the standard intercooler when they released the limited edition Cooper S GP, which was fitted with just an 11% reduced supercharger pulley (as well as the upgraded intercooler).
As with all our products, you don't need to be building a fully prepped track car to benefit from our large range of premium parts.
Here are just a few reasons why you could benefit from a KAVS Motorsport Reduced Supercharger Pulley:
At KAVS Motorsport, we have listened to the invaluable feedback from our customers in order to improve our products. This has seen changes in the design and function of the KAVS Motorsport Reduced Supercharger Pulley, and one of the biggest changes has been the size of our range.
We can provide you with any of the following 'percentage' of reductions over the standard supercharger pulley:
Another important thing to assess before finalising your purchase is what do you want from this upgrade? We are asked a lot of the time what the 'best' size is.
We only ask this because there is no correct answer as to what the 'best' size is. That's down to you and what you want from this purchase. We are more than happy to guide you in the right direction, but it's best to have a good idea of what you're after beforehand.
The KAVS Motorsport Reduced Supercharger Pulley MKIIs are manufactured on our CNC lathes out of high quality steel. They all come powder coated in a nice stealth gloss black on the outer piece - helping your engine bay remain discreet, with the inside piece coming with a galvanic coat.
Last, but certainly not least, we are so confident you'll be happy with our products that you get a Lifetime Warranty on all of our KAVS Motorsport Reduced Supercharger Pulley MKIIs, offering you peace of mind with every purchase.
Every pulley is also subject to strict quality control tests which adhere to the high ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 standards.
Please note: We recommend that this product is installed by a professional garage or by a professional mechanic to avoid any potential damage to your supercharger.

As with many companies, Orranje Performance receives a lot of packaging protecting the items that we purchase from suppliers. We hate waste, so we have taken the decision to reuse as much packaging as we can to reduce the amount that we throw away. This means that, where possible, we may reuse packaging to ship items to you, which could mean that the bubble wrap, foam packaging or outer box isn't brand new. Please don't worry though; we will only reuse packaging if we are confident that it will offer the protection your item requires.
