I have talked to the prevous owner of my new 03 MCS today and found out it has upgraded Cam, 2% crank, 15% pulley, ECU done twice as his mods had changed. the entire exhaust frome the long tubes to the exhaust all done. he said some other stuff like iridum plugs. he said some car on ii think Mini mania had same stuff or close to same stuff done that made 265hp. He never dynoed it just had a tuner specilizing in minis tune it and upgrade it for him hes older than me by a bit so he wasnt the boy racer type we all see with bumble bee exhausts on civic DS's doing peg legged burnouts at taco bell after there shift is complete. suspension is stock and the rims are 11lb each. *** EDIT *** Running bigger Injectors also.

Best part is.... Tommorrow I will post Dyno pics after i do some base runs.
Anyone want to guess the HP before I post it will be fun
On stock susp with LSD. first gear and speed if floored tires break loose. tires are 215's and stick out a little past black plastic fenders. It gets up to 130mph rather quickly (I didnt notice it till looked at Speedo)

My Guess is 230hp so post your guess and closest person gets a whistler tip if i can find one (Yeeeaaayaah!) if you dont know what a whislter tip is winner can choose your car for the install

let the games begin .

*EDIT* I found its the Mini Madness car that claims 265hp not the Mini mania so bear with me im still newb. so based on the stuff i was told of im still guessing 230hp this is with my rebuffing of the butt dyno as it would be at least 300hp at the wheels if butt dyno was added to the equation.

Whistles go WOOOOOOOO!!!

237

 

OK get ready to laugh and tar/feather me.

man my butt dyno sux

176.6hp and 162tq

This is waaay off also having bigger injectors im running pig rich as in by 5k rpm im already at AFR of 10.5 by 6k its well below 10 AFR so its almost like it had a chip once but it was pulled before i bought it or something cause im sure bigger injectors are causing this with stock ecu. give me a couple mins to scan and upload the dyno sheets ill post in the cooper S mod forums.

 

a bit off... 11lb rims? might want to measure those too...

 

Remember, the "at the wheels" HP is always lower than factory stated engine HP........

 

Come to really think Im not sure if he said 11lbs lighter than the 17's he had or what.

 

Might be. 11lbs would be "pretty light"!

 

I thik I'd almost question the mods he says it has, that seems pretty low as far as a HP #'s for that stuff. My '02 with just a 19% SC pulley and Pilo intake made 177...

 

Ya i posted the actual dyno pics in the cooper s modified forum. The AFR ratio takes a huge plumet in the high end. Also i found some other stuff out the thread better explains it the title starts off "AHHHHHH my AFR"
