I have been keeping a list of the sites that are offering (or will be offering) MINI tuning parts. This is what I have so far:

http://www.johncooper.co.uk/bmwmini/bmwmini_index.htm
http://new.minimania.com/Page.cfm
http://www.mini-madness.com/
http://www.hamann-motorsport.de/e44.htm
http://www.autofashion.co.uk/bmw_mini_kit.htm
http://www.acschnitzer.com/englisch/index.html
http://www.germanformula.net/new_mini_tuning.htm

Are there others to add to this list?

The 250-275hp Stage II kit in the last link was mentioned in an earlier post and looks good for anyone who wants to completely abandon their warranty (and transmission and ...)

Handy list, I will add those to the links section as soon as I can find time!

Drakken · Jan 25th, 2002, 11:12 AM

Great stuff, thanks! I like the turbo kit however I highly doubt it can make 275hp with 10 psi of boost in a 1.6 motor. 8-10 psi on that motor with no internal mods and an intercooler should make a solid 200hp. That would be very nice in a 2350 lb. car!

MadMiniManiac · Jan 25th, 2002, 12:29 PM

Remember the 275bhp is the stage two kit which includes a fairly large sized intercooler for a 1600 engine. But 245bhp is probably still optimistic!

Drakken · Jan 25th, 2002, 01:35 PM

The general rule is that for every 1 psi of intercooled boost equals roughly 10bhp for small displacement motors. The Mitsu turbine they are using is efficient and with the right air/fuel mix and free flowing intake and exhaust I would say 12bhp per psi is realistic. That would yeild about 235bhp!

A Mini with that kind of power should be cabable of 0-60 times in the mid to high 5 second range. Sounds good to me!

Ibb · Jan 25th, 2002, 03:50 PM

Thats alot of power!

My friend has a pre 1995 Fiesta Turbo, with 9psi, and it wheel spins in 5th gear!

It does 0-162mph, in just under 5 seconds, mind u its been chipped and a whole loada stuff been dumped in there.

Its roughly around 180bhp

So maybe the MINI will do 0-62mph in les than 5secs? I'm only speculating

Ibb · Jan 25th, 2002, 03:51 PM

oops meant 0-62mph not 0-162mph (would be damn good if it could do it in that time hehehe)
