Details

The Revolution MINI Works cam has proven to be one of the best on the market. After seeing hundreds and hundreds of these on the road installed on various MINIs and hearing the good feedback from MINI owners, we decided we needed to offer this. There's really not a lot of choices out there when it comes to camshafts for the Gen1 supercharged MINI, but when there are cams that are engineered as good as this one there only needs to be one brand. While RMW offers this cam in different grinds we have opted to offer the basics here but can get other cams as needed for specific applications.

The basic (yet a good cam for daily driver/occasional autocross/track) cam is known as the '246' which has duration and will be a great upgrade to a fairly modded MINI R53 or R52 that has a stock tune (non chipped). The idle will be pretty even and the power gains are good. There's little risk in this cam.

The next upgrade is the '250' cam which will also work with a stock tune on a modded MINI as the ECU will self calibrate after a few drives. Initial idle will be a bit choppy but the gains will be worth it.

250 CAM details

Street/track Cam for the R53 MINI. More aggressive profile than the stock cam. Must have for the weekend warrior. 250 deg duration and .400 lift. More aggressive mid-range. To get BEST results will require a tune, BUT works well with the stock tune. Works exceptionally good with the RMW shorty header. Will provide peak torque with the header at 4600rpms and paired with RMW Big Valve Head is good to 7800rpms.

Please note that a NEW Cam Sprocket Bolt is required when installing this or any other cam is replaced. This is a torque to yield bolt and must be replaced. Here is a link to purchase.

Customers' comments

Excellent fit. I bought the matte black to try and match the rest of the trim and it looks factory installed.

Removing the OE chrome grill "nuts" was a bit of a pain, so I elected to just snap the plastic threads off rather than attempt to remove them. I wouldn't plan on keeping the OE grill as the plastic threads and stamped nuts are practically destroyed no matter how gentle you are.

The upper grill snaps in and use the same fasteners as the OE. The new stamped nuts can be a bit annoying, just seat the nut on the ball of your thumb and turn. Once the nut cuts into the plastic use a nut-driver to snug up--don't over tighten.

The lower grill just snaps in. I cleaned and plasti coted the bumper black, as you can see the bumper color behind the new grill--my car is red so it really stood out.

This grill makes the car look so much better and more up to date. I really like it.

Great product, easy to install, and was delivered way before expected. I could not believe how fast this item came to me. Just need a little contact cement for the parking brake boot for a perfect install. Thanks again OM

I dropped by OutMotoring with my wife today to check it out after giving her a 2015 Mini Paceman last week. Aaron and Meghan took a lot of interest in us as new customers. We were invited to come back to the warehouse and invited to view all the available Mini parts and items. We selected some accessories and were very pleased with the selection and quality of the items we purchased. If you get a chance to drop by, you'll find friendly, knowledgeable and helpful folks there! I plan to return in the future for Mini parts and accessories.
