MINI2

BigShow300 · Mar 31st, 2008, 06:13 PM

Car: Mini Cooper S
Build date: Jan 2003
Mileage: 42k

Previous results (27/02/08) with the following mods:

Alta V2 15% Pulley
GRS Intercooler
NGK Spark Plugs
Alta V2 CAI
Janspeed Manifold
Milltek Cat-Back
Superchips map

Power: 239.9 bhp @ 7,177 rpm
Torque: 178.9 lbs ft @ 6,231 rpm

Results today (31/03/08) with the following additions:

RMW Head
Alta V2 17% Pulley
1320 Camshaft
380cc Injectors

Power: 281.1 bhp @ 7,199 rpm
Torque: 210.6 lbs ft @ 6,532 rpm

Gains

Power: 41.2 bhp
Torque: 31.7 lbs ft

These figures are preliminary because the 440cc injectors can’t go on the car until RMW can remap it which will be happening soon.

By way of comparison the standard MCS map ran:

Power: 275.1 bhp @ 6,947 rpm
Torque 209.3 lbs ft @ 6,679 rpm

Comments

The RMW mods have given fantastic gains (118 bhp over stock!!), however, with the 380cc injectors the car is running a bit lean at the top end which was expected so both Paul and I are keen to get the 440’s fitted and the custom RMW remap installed before it goes anywhere near the track.

I will post the dyno graphs later tonight when I have access to a scanner.

A huge ‘thank-you’ to Paul at 1320 and Jan at RMW for all their advice, support and hard work. There is still more to do but they have given me fantastic gains so far for little £’s compared to some competitor packages out there, the weak dollar has helped a bit too mind you, but these results are unmatched by other M45 tuners in the UK so even the preliminary results have proved what can be achieved.

Naturally though these results will be backed up by two dyno sessions at Surrey RR and AMD in the coming months to quell any scepticism about the results being obtained on the 1320 dyno.

Current Mood

Over the freakin moon!!!

Other mods fitted to handle/monitor the extra power (some previously) were:

RMW Coilovers
Helix Adjustable Control Arms
RMW Oil Sump Baffle
Powerflex Bushes All Round
AP Racing Big Brake Kit
OMP Upper Strut Brace
Teflon Supercharger
OMP Lower Strut Brace
BBR GTI Ram Air Scoop
17 inch Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s
205/40/17 Yokohama Parada Spec II Tyres
ScanGuage II
Alta Gauge Pod (Oil Temp/Boost)
Racelogic Performance Box
Blessing with holy water by the local priest

Aberdeen Al · Mar 31st, 2008, 07:12 PM

Wow - that's fantastic figures - well done

I assume you can only get the RMW tune if you have their products fitted??

JMCS08 · Mar 31st, 2008, 07:14 PM

Jove · Mar 31st, 2008, 07:32 PM

Nice work guys... I've been waiting for the results to come in and the decision has been made.

I look forward to a ride in the Milton Keynes Beast!

MINIMANIAUK · Mar 31st, 2008, 07:57 PM

sam_a156 · Mar 31st, 2008, 08:15 PM

Congrats BigShow and RMW/1320autos, very nice results!

You have the whp numbers too?

I am getting my car dynoed, A/Fs checked and tuned Thu/Fri this week after fitting the RMW head. Interesting to see how it compares. As I have only replaced the head, not expecting quite as dramatical numbers as you saw though...

Sam

Ps. Oh, and where is this Evo style test drive/review...?

Jaw_F430 · Mar 31st, 2008, 08:21 PM

Great results!!! I cannot wait to see what power my car makes with almost same mods!!

Wait until Jan works his magic, won't be far off 300bhp/260whp!!!!!

Can you post any vids so I can here how loud it is? Whats does the power increase feel like to drive?

James
