Bluefin and 0-60 acceleration on MC

Hello,

Does anyone have idea how much you gain in 0-60mph (or 0-100km/h) acceleration with Bluefin mapping on Mini Cooper? Just curious as I'm planning to install Lohen LO1 package to my MC Cabrio.

With my Mini One with only bluefin and a perfomance air filter pannel in the stock air box i got 8.8seconds 0-60 (average) i did it a few times slowest being 9seconds (wheel spin) and fastest being 8.4 i would be changing gear at 6500ish rmp to allow the revs to remain in the mid 4000 range. I would push 60 in 2nd gear.

As the Coopers gear box has a faster gear ratio it may do it faster.

Around 8-9 seconds is about right.... but you don't need a stopwatch to notice the difference it is truly worthwhile for any Cooper. It must seem like a rocket up the backside in a One!

where can I get info on "Bluefin"?

Obviously, they do chips and/or programs, and I've never heard of them. I'd like to find out what they can do for an '02 MC and it's slow changing cvt. -Jeffy.

Yeah the first time i took my One out after installing bluefin, i was shocked at the change!
I was just expecting it to pull harder up to 4000rmp and then be the same as the normal One after that, but i was sooo wrong it did seem to reach 4000rpm a bit quicker but when it hit 4k it rocketed, the car just kept putting and pulling and pulling right up till i change gear at 6500rpm.

A bluefined One is only slightly faster than a standard cooper because just after the remap along a bypass near me the One just edged on my mates Cooper.

Yes, the power outputs should be identical, but 0-60 times and the like could still vary due to gear ratios (shorter on the Cooper, hence I'm not sure if you could actually hit 60/62 in second like you can in the One)
