Is there Upgrade chips available for the Cooper S models? I havent seen any yet?

Axel · Jul 6th, 2002, 07:50 AM

Dexi, there a tuning company out of Germany called DIGITECh that supposedly has a chip putting out somewhat of 210 hp. The price i heard was 1200 btritish pounds . There is thread speaking about it in this site. the way I been told the Mini S ECU is very hard to upgrade due to certain FLAWS

but then again thats what I have been told by a close friend and confidant from a tuner here in USA. All we have to do is just wait

and see

If you understand Deustch then go to www.dig-tec.de and you'll see the site I was speaking off.

Axel - you've got a typo there, sorry mate - It's http://www.digi-tec.de/

Here's the Cooper S info translated by Google:

Current DigiTec News

Mini Cooper S

Increase in output for the strongest mini immediately available!

210PS/154Kw with 6900 U/min are the reached power ratings for the youngest mini. The terminal velocity increases to approx. 230 Km/h the change time amounts to approx. 3.5 Std. there some mechanical changes apart from the programming of the controller are necessary.
The maximum torque is available from 3500 to over 6000 U/min. Further information under 02363-56600

I have just taken deliuvery of a new 'S" which is entered in the New Zealand Dunlop Targa Rally (a 5 day Tarmac special stage rally). Although we are BMW NZ backed we have been unable to spring one of the John Cooper engine upgrades in time for the event in late October. You can imagine our concern at the thought of having no performance upgrade. Thanks for the lead to Digi-tec in Germany for the engine mods.

Big question. Does anyone know of a brake upgrade kit?? Also suspension mods for the 'S' that would be suitable for tarmac use? Thanks
