Should be interesting to see a new dyno chart with your TVS 900 compared to Ben's big numbers chart. I'm interested in the shape of the curve as well as the numbers. Hope you get it all put together soon. Let us know in the build section?

 

The motor has done those numbers already so it can be done again. I am switching it back to SC because they are more reliable and a linear power curve. Do I expect to push that amount driving around daily, hell no.

My project is no rush, I am buy a lot of brand new OEM parts so it will be a fresh build. I will have a new Radiator, AC, oil housing, RMW BVH refresh, new TVS900 ... on and on. You know me I never do anything quickly, but when it is done it will be completed with all new or high end parts. (( Insert evil laugh ))

 

Yes --- me, a couple machine shops, Thumper for head work, and EuroTechsAZ for Manic tuning. Started in 2011 --- been quite the project, so much to learn, mistakes made and corrected. Still making plans for the next mod, but gotta pacify a spouse first --- throw money at her instead of the Mini.

EDIT: Oops, I didn't do it all --- early 2011 a dealer switched heads for me, OEM to Thumper's. Then late 2011, I found a moonlighting Mini tech to install the OSG clutch / flywheel / LSD. I didn't have the know-how or tools for either task. Since then, I've done both head and clutch / flywheel removal / replacement.

 

My "sleeper" would be kinda useless if I didn't drive it to / from town once in awhile. Being retired, I don't fight daily traffic, but living in the 'burbs requires a fun 30 minute trip to town. As for pushing all the power, there's no need to "put the pedal to the metal" --- there's great performance at low RPM's, and the WMI keeps carbon build-up to a minimum. Then, on the final stretch home, an occasional short "heavy foot" burst to clean things out.

 

Let's see if this link is still working --- I was only putting down 360+ when this 17 sec video was taken. Up to 383WHP currently.

 

Chart heading indicates it's a turbo. Any chance this is an R53 engine with a turbo replacing the SC? Then I'd like to know the date this chart was made. I know of a "Ben" that claimed numbers like these, but he's since had it de-tuned to make it driveable on the streets.

I don't have the HP to top Dave.O's chart, but I like to claim "One of, if not THE baddest, streetable, R56 in the country", and this is my latest dyno chart, along with the correction sheet (4500' elevation, etc). I know of only one other "streetable R56" that claims more HP, but there's no chart available to support the claim.

Sully, for those of us that don't know enough about dynos and reading the charts, filling in all the blanks for your proposed entry isn't gonna be easy, i.e., for Dave.O's chart --- "gain", "TCF", "ratio", ???? And this being an international forum, what about the difference between BHP and WHP, do we convert from one to the other or specify which was measured? If you want us to fill in an entry form, how about a description or definition of the less obvious items, and a little space for an explanation of the entry, like WMI ratio if not 100%. Maybe a "sticky" as part of the grouping? And where in the forum will this be located, one grouping for each gen? Maybe another requirement that we only post our own charts, not those of someone else --- UNLESS so noted.

Next time I'll try to specify the parameters I want charted --- boost and RPM.

 

I dumped the Turbo from Ben C’s Motor and will be adding a TVS 900.

I am not a fan of turbos at all for my own reasons.

 

Jan made some awesome numbers on that 2.0 ltr and turbo. These engines will hold a lot of power. A person I know in the UK was pushing 480+ WHP on Nitrous-oxide for the drags, and all things are fine.

 

Ha, looks like mine

Oh calm down, or has M/A turned into FaceBook where you can’t post facts? What I stated is a FACT in the MINI community and has been proven over and over, time and time again.

If talking a little shit gets someone panties in a bunch or whatever maybe they should not be on the Internet and reconsider being a keyboard warrior.


Just saying.......

 

Checked my panties, no bunching. I'll sit back in the peanut gallery & watch the festivities.

Dug up my latest dyno chart.

 

That “Ben” chart above is an W11 RMW 1.62 motor with a Turbo.

I own the motor now and it’s sitting right here in my garage.

 

Here's the "de-tuned" turbo'd R53 I was referring to. Previously owned by Ben C. who had it for sale last Sept. It was in a gen 1 car and posted as a built R53. Since I'm not familiar with any of the other Mini engines, I had to look up the W11. Found one on Sneed4Speed and it's listed as replacing the R52 and R53, so I don't consider it as a threat to my claim, as long as I keep the "qualifiers" of street-able and R56.

I bet it'll be a bunch of fun tooling around town with that engine. Hope you got the turbo and the rest of the package, if it's the same engine I'm thinking of.
