R53mcs I found that out the hrd way lol she is running 159 bhp and the gear box seiezed up at arrond 140bhp bench mark new it was time to fit the cooper s 6 speed with a compitition stage 2 clutch and lightened flywheel. Made a great difference to my gear ratio and for cheek I kept my 5 speed knob lol will be selling her soon as plans to make a 300± bhp mcs :)

MiniHazza what ends are you from. not yet found a mini that is faster than mine. been to nuff shows now and still noone. closet one was one guy at the mini 50th at silverstone.

would be kl to meet up.

my engine does not need to have fancy alluminium pipings and painted hoses to be modified. hardly anything on my mini engine is stock i just kept it authentic. i'm a power house not a show case!

What does the video show? You just threw a number to the wall and expect us to believe that? Oh, and now you throw another one, 300 Bhp on a Cooper S... damn, you make it sound easy. Don't get me wrong, but some of us need proof.

O YER ITS THE FASTEST MINI IN LONDON THAT IM PUTTING ON MY DYNO SO IL STRAP IT DOWN BY THE WING MIRRORS BECAUSE THEY WILL HOLD IT IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG, THERE SHOULD BE TESTS FOR FOOLS TO SEE IF THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH DYNOS

@Chingonshushu

OK so vaguely i think what you are trying to say is that pound for pound you car is more powerful. Ok thats a fair arguement.....well it will be once youve done the dyno. Until then your arguement is still hot air. You estimate your bhp to be 245. But from the mods youve explained id estimate you might have LOST power. Back to back testing has proven the GP intercooler to be about the best out there...yes, even up against the mighty GRS (which i have too).

@Chingonshushu

thats right, personal preference, so why were you bagging out the OP for choosing to modify a cooper? yes, its your personal choice to buy an overpriced GP that is basically a JCW with a stupid scalextric spoiler and in my opinion ugly wheels and a daft colour scheme! You can buy a JCW for about 7 grand less, get a rear seat delete and a new intercooler....job done. Exactly the same as a GP without the mickey mouse red mirrors....but its your choice. lol.

post up that dyno

[Chingonshushu]

@birdlipbandit and if you disagree then just do the same but with the standard GP hp 218, it proberly still has more whp to your 250+ MINI. anyway gd convo I will post the pic of dyno soon.

[Chingonshushu]

@birdlipbandit I might not be too fanatical about cars as I'm only 22 but i love MINIs and I know few things as I've had my car for a year now and I've done countless amount of things and as I said again weight is the big problem so by keeping my GP under 1000kg and making extra 30hp(estimate) its better then trying to make a MINI with 300hp+ lol anyway u could think whatever you want to, its my preference.

you do the weight to power ration.....943kg exact to 245hp.

@Chingonshushu

I tell you what i think is daft! Coming on here calling other people idiots when you are spending untold amounts of money on your car at lohen, not knowing wether the parts are actually improving the performance of your car. Any before and after dyno runs?

You buy a GP and you chuck the excellent JCW induction box off to replace it with an Alta part lol. You take off the JCW stainless manifold and replace it with 500 quids worth of janspeed manifold. +2bhp?

[birdlipbandit]

@Chingonshushu

Thatll be great. I look forward to the dyno. Ive no doubt your making sub 6 seconds with those mods and it being so light. But, im telling you now, your going to be dissapointed by the dyno. Without a camshaft or new cylinder head your GP wont be making anything above 225 BHP...im willing to make a bet on that.

[birdlipbandit]

Let me help you understand POWER MODS by listing mine.... MSD ignition pack Magnecor leads Iridium plugs Newman performance camshaft Bosch 550 injectors Dave F / JCW modified induction box GRS motorsport version intercooler 17% KMT reduced supercharger and pully Janspeed manifold and Fletcher catback All of the above custom remapped @1320 Mini...dyno graph of 220 whp....thats approximately 253 BHP given a 15% drive train loss to the wheels.

[Chingonshushu]

@birdlipbandit well I've managed to pull out 5.6s....0-60 and the guys at Lohen did a calculation (they didnt have a dyno at the time) and put out a close estimate of 245hp...dont worry I'll come n post a picture of the graph whenI get back to lohen for the dyno. its like why would I wanna lie...if i want to I would at least say something like 300hp or something lool abit daft dont you think

[birdlipbandit]

@Chingonshushu

no, youve missed the point. let me say this as clearly as possible. reducing weight DOES NOT ADD BHP TO YOUR ENGINE. You claimed you have 245bhp or whp..one or the other which is it exactly? youve listed a load of mods, brakes, suspension which make no more power.

what power mods have you done to the engine to make this claimed 40hp? is it 40 or 50? you havent even dynoed the car have you? have you dynoed the car? what was the result?
