The Newman camshaft is one of the best camshafts available for the MINI Cooper S, increasing both bhp and torque throughout the rev range by allowing the valves to stay open longer, thus increasing the amount of air / fuel entering the cylinders.
To achieve the full potential of the Newman camshaft, we recommend that the car is remapped after installation, however a remap is not always essential. Gains of around 18bhp can be expected from fitting a Newman camshaft, depending on the cam chosen and other mods on the car.
Benefits of fitting a MINI Cooper S Newman camshaft include:
Please note this is for the camshaft only, unless the option for the ARP Camshaft Sprocket Bolt has been chosen. If the ARP Camshaft Sprocket Bolt option has been chosen, we may open the ARP packaging and pre-install the bolt in the cam to save on additional packaging.
Orranje recommends the BMWI/250/400 PH2 camshaft from Newman Cams.
