Mini Cooper Engines We Cover

Real Mini Cooper engines from our warehouse, tested and ready to ship. A single model year can ship with more than one engine, so match by engine code rather than by vehicle — text us your VIN and we will confirm it.

Cooper S 2.0L B48 Turbo (F55 / F56 / F54 / F60)

Cooper S 2-Door and 4-Door (2014–2020), Clubman S (2016–2020), Countryman S (2017–2020). The BMW-derived 2.0L turbo four of the current cars — listed by 2.0L and S model, and on the Countryman by FWD or AWD (ALL4), because the S tune, the JCW tune and the base 1.5L do not share a controller or turbo.

Cooper 1.5L B38 Turbo Three-Cylinder (F55 / F56 / F54 / F60)

Cooper 2-Door and 4-Door (2014–2020), Clubman (2016–2020), Countryman (2017–2020). The 1.5L three-cylinder turbo of the base cars — listed by 1.5L because it shares nothing with the 2.0L S engine of the same year, not the block, the mounts or the bellhousing pattern.

John Cooper Works 2.0L High-Output

JCW Cooper (2015–2020), JCW Clubman (2016–2020), JCW Countryman (2018–2020). The high-output B48 — listed as John Cooper Works separately from the S model because it carries its own turbo, pistons, cooling and calibration and will not swap for a Cooper S unit.

Cooper S 1.6L N18 Turbo (R56 / R55 / R60 / R61)

Cooper S (2011–2015), Clubman S (2011–2014), Countryman S (2011–2016), Paceman S (2013–2016), JCW (2013–2016). The Valvetronic revision of the Prince turbo — listed by S model, by FWD or AWD (ALL4) on the Countryman and Paceman, and by the 2012 build split (thru 2/12, from 3/12).

Cooper 1.6L N16 (R56 / R55 / R60 / R61)

Cooper Base (2011–2015), Clubman Base (2011–2014), Countryman Base (2011–2016), Paceman Base (2013–2016). The naturally aspirated Valvetronic 1.6 of the base cars — listed by Base and by the 2013 build split (thru 1/13, from 2/13), because the early and late units carry different controllers.

Cooper S 1.6L N14 Turbo (R56 / R55)

Cooper S Hardtop (2007–2010), Clubman S (2008–2010), JCW Cooper and Clubman (2009–2012). The first Prince turbo — listed as Cooper S or John Cooper Works because the JCW unit carries its own turbo and internals, and as exc. John Cooper Works on the standard S.

Cooper 1.6L N12 (R56 / R55)

Cooper Base Hardtop (2007–2010), Clubman Base (2008–2010). The naturally aspirated Prince 1.6 that replaced the Tritec — listed by Base and HT, and separate from the N14 turbo of the same year because the two share a block casting and nothing else.

Cooper S 1.6L Tritec Supercharged (R53 / R52)

Cooper S Hardtop (2002–2006), Cooper S Convertible (2005–2008). The Eaton-supercharged Tritec four — listed as supercharged option, Cooper S because the supercharger, intercooler and 8.3:1 pistons make it a different engine from the base 1.6 of the same year.

Cooper 1.6L Tritec (R50 / R52)

Cooper Hardtop (2002–2006), Cooper Convertible (2005–2008). The original BMW-era Mini engine, built with Chrysler in Brazil — listed as w/o supercharged option, and by HT or Conv on the 2007–2008 cars, because the convertible ran the Tritec two years after the hardtop switched to the Prince.

Why Buy a Used Mini Cooper Engine from Auto Power Source

Mini has run four different 1.6L engines and two different 2.0L engines under the same badge — the supercharged Tritec of the R53, the Prince N12 and N14 of the 2007 R56, the Valvetronic N16 and N18 that replaced them in 2011, and the BMW B38 three-cylinder and B48 four of the 2014 F56, with the JCW carrying a high-output tune of its own. A 1.6L Cooper S is a supercharged, a turbo N14 or a turbo N18 depending on the year, and a 2.0L is an S or a JCW unit that do not swap. Every product on this page is titled by displacement, by Base, S model or John Cooper Works, by supercharged or w/o supercharged option, by HT or Conv, by FWD or AWD (ALL4), and by build-date split where Mini made one. Our 245 verified Mini Cooper engines cover the whole run: the B48 and B38 of the F56, F54 and F60, the JCW 2.0L, the N18 and N16 of the R56, R60 and R61, the N14 and N12 of the first R56, and the supercharged and naturally aspirated Tritec of the R50, R52 and R53.

Every Mini Cooper engine we sell has been pulled from a low-mileage donor vehicle, cataloged by VIN, and held in our climate-controlled warehouse pending sale. Each unit goes through our six-step inspection — VIN-matching against the donor and against your vehicle, compression and leak-down testing of every cylinder, noise verification, full visual inspection of block, head and timing cover, multi-angle photography for your approval, and palletized freight. Prince N14 and N18 units get a timing-chain tensioner and carbon check, B38 and B48 units get a turbo-shaft and oil-feed inspection, and Tritec supercharged units have the supercharger and intercooler checked. Rejected units never reach the buyer.

You pay a fraction of dealer-new pricing for the same Mini engineering, ship free on a heavy-duty pallet anywhere in the continental U.S., and have 30 days from delivery to return for any reason — no restocking fees. The warranty printed on the listing — with extended coverage up to 3 years available — covers you if anything goes wrong after install. Across 100K+ engines and transmissions in stock, we hold a 0% fitment-related return rate.
