Last saturday I had my MINI diagnosed in an official testcenter. (VAB)
I was quite satisfied with the roll out ... 86,5kW.
That's equal to app 118BHP. I didn't expect a lot more.
This for a March 2002 build with a standard ECU and AFE filter + original MINI sport exhaust.
The only thing I was a bit astonished was that I only got a torque of 137Nm ??
with a max torque at 5530 min-1 at 149km/h (app. 93 Mph)
The torque curve is rather nice though, not too many waves ...
Could the low result of torque have anything to do with the MINI sport exhaust?
Till shortly (before accident) I used to have a Remus exhaust but changed to the original MINI sport exhaust.
Or is that quite a normal result for a 2002 MINI (almost 5 years old) and more then 100.000km (app. 63000 miles) on the speedo???
Would an upgrade like f.e. bluefin or sparkplugs have a positive impact or would it just be money thrown away?
Any advice?
