I’ve been working hard to find a DYNO to get the Clubman on to complete my review NM Engineering’s exhaust.  I think I found a place.  So look for the review in a few weeks.  I know it’s been quite a while.  Waiting for the exhaust to break in will allow a truer review of the sound and performance it puts out.

NM just released two new little beauty’s to its arsenal. The first is 2007+ heat shield for the turbo S motor.  Here are the details from NM site.

NM Engineering has always used the finest materials in its manufacturing, including products constructed from T-304 stainless, 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum. With that in mind, NM has taken the next step with its new TitaNM product line which features parts utilizing titanium.

NM’s new TitaNM turbo heat shield is designed to redirect heat from the turbocharger down and around the engine. This reduces intake temps and protects the paint on the bonnet. Unlike other heat shields, NM’s does not completely encase the turbo as it would severely hamper the turbocharger’s heat dissipation and reliability. NM’s heat shield is commercially pure (CP grade) titanium.

Finish:
Brushed Titanium

Application:
- Mini Cooper S & JCW Clubman R55
- Mini Cooper S & JCW Hardtop R56
- Mini Cooper S & JCW Convertible R57

Part #: NM.688856
MSRP: $149.95

The second part is a (bad ass) carbon fiber air intake.  The drool factor over my MacBookPro right now is at it’s highest level.  I recently removed my Race DDM Kit and this would be a nice replacement.  The kit looks very similar to the intake kit they normally sell for $429.99.  BUT for a mere $40more you get a carbon fiber tube?  No brainer!

NM Engineering introduces the complete intake system for the turbocharged model MINI Cooper S. Unlike some competitors, NM’s intake features an integrated larger turbo inlet tube. Stainless brackets, silicone couplings and newly available carbon fiber tube are all designed, engineered and manufactured to fit and perform.

The tube is manufactured using 100% carbon fiber composite material to be lightweight and for great appearance. Utilizing vacuum bag manufacturing method produces a part that has consistent wall thickness, while avoiding excessive resin build-up.

This kit also fits JCW vehicles.
