Mini V-tec.

My brothers mini being rolling roaded after having a Z-cars 2 litre Vtec honda engine conversion. Unfortunately wheelspin prevented a true peak power reading but at 6250 rpm it was developing 239 bhp at the wheels.

Right then, dyno time has been done again, the result? 250.6 hp at the wheels. Hope this settles the minor fucking uproar thats been going on over this vid....lol...

[logic2reason]

why is there a traction issue with 236hp? why not just dyno it again at a higher gear?

[zx6rrob]

250 hp, 600 kgs weight, 13 inch wheels,no real easy way of strapping it down....you get the picture.

Very cool, is it a B20z bottom end with a B16a head?

Im looking at doing this to my CRX :D

[zx6rrob]

Cheers mate, its the K20a 2001 onwards motor, running aftermarket throttle bodies and ECU and a custom stainless 4 branch manifold and system.

[zx6rrob]

Probably did mate, I know he`s been to santa pod a few times.

I built a 1310 turbo mini using modified mg turbo,straight cut drop gears,omega pistons,howley head,and a load of goodies,128 bhp,good fun as it went mental over 3000rpm. my mum (a pensioner) borrowed it once and left 2 x 25 yd black lines on the road taking off a little quick at the lights (rofll)

no offence mate but it does say in the information "My brothers mini..." lol

[saludahead]

@zx6rrob 260 horsepower in a mini? You need to to take out a life insurance policy an your brother IMMEDIATELY!!! Double indemnity, all the options! Do it now! You don't have much time!

[SwAnNy194]

ahhh so awesome :D

[candle2k]

These things are always hard to dyno. There aren't very good strapping points, and the car is way too light to provide any traction..

@gotobedandtickler

Not really, Because if you shift at a higher RPM, you won't drop to a lower RPM.

Usually you'll make more power AFTER Your peak, than you will before it.. Usually Power just flat lines or starts to drop slowly. Shift Just after peak power.

[gotmatt2]

While this is true, shifting to low can drop you out of your power band and into a lower HP area than shifting at redline, therefore making matters worse. If you peak hp is at 8k & 200hp but shifting then will make the next gear pick up a 4k-out of vtec-and only making 130hp, then it would be better to stay in the previous gear until the 9k redline & 170hp and shift into vtec and the start of your peak power band.

thats what i'm talking bout.
