| In Richards defence he's taking the Mini quoted original BHP figure of 90bhp as a starting point, I presume he never had the One on the dyno in stock form.
On a bog standard One Conv we saw on the dyno 74whp @ 4825rpm, with a superchips it made 96whp at 5910, it actually gained 8whp at 4825 over the stock map.
On various Mini One's with tested we've seen a best of 76whp so in that theory Richard has gained 26whp
Our dyno corrects to din, Richard's first session was with a knackered gearbox and if the gearbox is knackered it wont show the run down losses as the TAT sytem believes you are cheating it.
We have started this week putting a demo 6spd Mini One togeather which we will be trying cams cnc heads and different exhaust manifolds on, we will let you know how we get on and I'm sure its going to be a lot harder coaxing horsepower out of a NA engine.
Minipetrohead how did your friend get on with the cyl head back on the rolling road?? |
