 Serpentine Tensioner Upgrade for Mini Cooper Gen2 N14/N18 Engines!

Are you tired of constantly dealing with broken drive belts and the costly damages they cause? We have the ultimate solution that will put an end to this frustrating problem once and for all. Our upgrade does not delete air conditioning and offers easy service access without the need for special tools.

Product List Included with Default Purchase Order:

  • Tensioner kit assembly (CNC machined from Billet T6 6061)
  • Shorter bolts for the alternator (after OEM tensioner removal)
  • New drive belt

Important Note: This kit does not include an idler pulley; it is designed to reuse the existing OEM idler pulley. You will need to transfer it over.

Product Development Insights:

After extensive research and testing, we identified a major flaw in the OEM tensioner assembly, particularly in vehicles with upgraded turbos, higher torque, and higher-revving engines. The OEM belt would shred during street driving, dyno sessions, or racing events, leaving drivers stranded and facing expensive repairs. We meticulously investigated the cause and developed a permanent solution, which was validated on a test vehicle with 400 ft-lbs of torque and a power band up to 8000 rpm.

Our  Tensioner kit is specifically designed to provide maximum overlap at all pulleys, ensuring a consistent grip on the belt and allowing for stable voltage charging throughout the entire power band. Say goodbye to belt slippage and shredding, no matter how aggressively you drive or how high you rev. Not only does our tensioner kit eliminate the need for constant belt replacements, but it also prevents consequential damages. Imagine never having to deal with a vehicle being towed or a messy engine bay due to a shredded belt again.

Don't settle for temporary fixes or subpar solutions like higher-cost belts, as it's never been a belt issue. Invest in our Serpentine Tensioner kit and enjoy worry-free driving for the long term. This upgrade works just as well on stock vehicles, but it is highly recommended for vehicles with increased performance over stock.
