Chipping a Cooper D ?

[paul.w]

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

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...

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!

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.

and ours !

[R99]

and my 88bhp ONE D.

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

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

Or look in the Reviews section.
