Engine Drivetrain 1st Gen Cooper S Most liked posts in thread: Looking to make 225 Horsepower

i know what you mean bro, my jaw dropped when he told me the price :arf: he's a friend of a friend and he has no reason to lie to me... he may have gotten a 'once in a lifetime deal'... hope it's not a LEMON car :blush2:

 

check out Post #26, another R53 with the M45 SC that has surpassed the 225WHP mark:

Hey no doubts on my end, just envy!
Alta was making like 300 ft pounds out of one i think is what they were saying on nam.
Freaken rediculous.
but anyway, best way to about 225 whp header cam pulley intake exhaust tune.

 

the real test of hp was done at Mojave this weekend
09 JCW with 300ft lbs and 252whp vs RMW Head/race cam/header and JCW pulley vs ABF built engine, tune , ported supercharger, 16% pulley, JE pistons , ABF cylinder head

which do you think won?

 

YOU are always the winner Jan, with your customer's cars... Or is this Diablito setting a new record? Congrats!!!

So is there a new track out in the Mojave? what time did it run? What's the record, we will surely look it up.. Cheers and Congrats again!!!

 

You have a 1st gen car (supercharged).

 

is that good or bad or just different? also I meant Blimey . I was wondering what kid of brakes are you running ? seems to have a way to stop is the ticket as well as beefing suspension while I figure out the type of mods to incorporate .......Thoughts ?

Thanks

Some people like first gen MINIs... some like second gen MINIs... some like both. They're different in quite a few ways. Lots of thread here and other places on the differences. I'm a first gen guy.

The front brakes are perhaps the single crappiest thing about 1st gen MINIs. So I'm running 2nd gen MCS brakes on the front, with different Carbotech pads depending on what I'm doing (1521 Bobcats - Street; AX6 - Twisties; XP12 - Track)
