Stroker / bore kit?

Does anyone know of a stroke or bore kit for the n/a mini? i have searched the net but no one seems to do one! i want some more bhp from my mini, i think increasing the capacity will magnify my future mods

Not going to see one either.

Not one available for the S really. The limit to overbore is very small. I've forgotten exactly but you don't go over .010 and even that wasn't recommended.

Never seen a stroker kit.

Have a look at MiniSpeed's demo car : http://www.minispeed.co.uk/new_mini/...ontent=newcars

Capacity raised to 1700CC that has to be worth a couple of HP. I'd be interested to see what the torque figures are though.

Curious about how just changing pistons ups capacity by over 100cc.
Must have done something else.

It's also an MCS and much more capable of handling the extra hp than a Cooper engine.

Are there any preformance figures on the MINI Cooper S
0-60, 1/4 mile, etc?

You'd think bore it out slightly and not use flat top pistons.
