Which gearboy and tyres boys. That's important data

[Lucky Dave]

Sorry guys I have been snowed under with work at present and not been out to play!

I just need to get the rpm for 30 and 70 in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th then I can do all the runs and look at the data whilst sitting in front of the fire in my arm chair!

Im looking to improve my 30 -70 in 6th as I can pull like a train from 25mph in 6th now!!

Paul, most of the heavy hitters live near me, all our roads have bends in so this test is quite hard!

I'll do this as soon as I get my boost leak fixed, which is now getting worse.

Out of interest, where is the leak coming from?

If you get chance, you could try mine whilst you're at it as well

I've knocked off the 6.5 as its way above the rest and called it 6.05 average.

Hi

I'm running:

15% pulley+ reduced belt
JCW CAI
380cc injectors
NGK 7 plugs
JCW cat back exhaust
JCW Big GP Intercooler
Remap

Car weight= 2846lbs

Just need to sort out a manifold and hi flow cat that isn't too loud, as I have sold my ebay manifold and decat due to the noise

Regards

I have crap coming out of the snoot boot on the entry to the IC. Its chucking oily bits over the IC. Its ot a huge amount, but then I have an OCC, which after checking really needs an empty. I might not of spotted it if it wasnt for the oil on the IC.

thats why i really want to get the bush asap and see the times then tbh the 6dead is all all prob get from it.... at the moment

I feel id have the same prob at the mo as i can feel the engine moving, oh well we`ll see when ive got the damper fitted. Plus could do with some proper logging equipment

Nearly new set of Dunlop DSST 9000, only done few passes at Santa Pod and 1000ish miles, and late gearbox as mine is a 2005 car,built July 2005

[Paul Webster]

Cant believe that there is only 9 people have completed this test, or is there a lot more but daren't share there times??

I've started a thread on NAM so hopefully we'll be seeing some times coming in from over there soon.

[k m s]

My car is currently in small pieces in Dave's garage

Once it's put back together we'll get some timings

Thanks, sometimes I think I have a slow MINI but then I see most of you drive the shorther gearbox. That's mean in the same gear about 15 HP. OK there aren't HP but the car accelerate like It has 15HP more.

A lot of people have spent a lot of hours on the flowbench trying to find out what works, its not like other heads.

I know of other Mini owners / tuners who have hit 230+whp with the stock compressor to throttle body pipe.

I think your estimate for a head (10-15) is spot on, though there are heads out there what seem to produce a lot more than this.

No new chip, your current air fuel is safe as houses.

Custom tune is good choice i know. If I will have any trip to England I will come to you but is veryvery far.

I know the head is not a simple job, but I will trust my friend who made some engines for rally and he win's in his class. It wasn't MINI but I believe he will do some good works on it. Like I said I am not talking about 30+HP on head. I am a little realistic.

The throttle body pipe will be the simply job here. I have all stuf for welding (TIG), lathes, CNC machines and that stuff actually at home. I will try to do something better then OEM.

What is your opinion which ratio is still safe on that supercharged engine? So If I change head, throttle body, compresor and that stuff will the ratio stay the same? So between 11.3-11.6? What's your experience?
