This was in the MINI2 news on 28th February. It's actually 192BHP

I take it £1150 would be parts only, so if you assume it will take 3/4 hours to fit you are looking at a total of around £1500. I think the difference in BHP is down to fact 189BHP refers to old fashioned BHP and the 192BHP is actually PS which is the metric equivalent of BHP.

Still nothing on the mini.co.uk or mini.com websites about this. Is the kit definitely available now?

GARY GP · May 4th, 2007, 11:30 AM

Gary, is that in the mag or is there an online source for the news letter?

scone · May 4th, 2007, 07:59 PM

It's a small article in the news section on the Evo website Mini Cooper | evo News | News | evo

d9hug · May 4th, 2007, 08:02 PM

About time someone brought out something for tuning an R56!! Now some sound kits etc for the cooper too

TallAndy · May 8th, 2007, 12:27 PM

JCW kit consists of:
- ECU remap
- intake
- exhaust

£1150!

Hmmm doesn't sound like theres much potential for tuning this engine then?
