Any body looked into tuning a Cooper D whats available and at what cost to fuel and pocket?

Paul

PaulusMaximus · Apr 10th, 2007, 03:57 PM

I'm interested in this too. Moving down from an MCS means I will miss an awful lot of power. However, its far too new for info like this to surface yet, although I'm sure it will. With enough tuning and modding a "Cooper SD" would probably be really refreshing and show even a well driven Cooper a clean pair of heels...

The engine is about two years old. I think there should be some Peugeot Tuners offering chiptuning for it...

Ant FR · Apr 16th, 2007, 08:59 AM

but don't expect HUGE power gains, it's no VAG tdi lump which is a sham. Peugeot do build ok diesels, but there not as tuneable as the vag ones. Also you will be limited by intake temps as still a mighty small engine bay, and if you start whacking the boost up its gonna get hotter

Surely a standard CD would do that?

Possibly, but the driver of the CD would have to be somebody special...

Look at the specs of the cooper d vs the cooper, the cooper d is quicker once moving

Exactly, but sssssshh, don't tell everyone!

dalboyne · May 18th, 2007, 11:30 AM

Any more news on this? I would have thought that a mild tweak (say an extra 10-15 horses) should be achievable, but this thread has gone mighty quiet......

Superchips don't have figures for the 1.6 HDi 110 in the 207 yet, but in the 206 and 307 it gives it a 19BHP and 33Nm increase.

The Focus with the equivalent engine (1.6 TDCi 110) gains 21BHP and 37Nm.

It wouldn't be unreasonable to expect similar figures on the Cooper D.

Like me.

My untuned 75bhp One D could mix it with R53 Coopers.

ONED · May 18th, 2007, 12:10 PM

and ours !

One D's are very underated cars........

Any views or comments would help

Thanks

er.... wrong thread......but we'll forgive you

....my dealer was gonna give me it as a freebee but I wasn't interested in it

Seems expensive!

This treatment can be done DIY, Paul has done a review on here somewhere ( try looking in the Exterior sections.

If you don't mind polishing your car once a month then don't bother......seems to be a lazy mans shine this stuff

Thanks for that - sounds like a reasonable return on the investment.....

Seems to be common claim to get power output 130bhp and torque of 288/294 NM from the various tuners (superchips/diesel tuning etc.)

Anyone would think they'd deliberately detuned it to differentiate it from the 2.0 HDi and slip under the 120g emissions limit

Such cars should hold their value well because there will be few second hand cars in 2008/9 that will get exemption from the London congestion charge (coming to a city near you?)

eBay.co.uk: MINI (R56) COOPER DIESEL, RARE COLOUR WITH EXTRAS! (item 270126524652 end time 12-Jun-07 12:30:10 BST)

same as I said in another thread...the figures for in gear 50-75 are no good for comparing these cars, sure if you lazing around they are ok but if youre talking outright speed then the optimum gear for this speed in a cooper is 3rd which will be MUCH faster than 4th. Id expect it to be as fast if not faster than the dooper and you can hold 3rd all the way to 90
