I've tracked MPG from since the car was new and have not seen a change. I average 27 and it is 100% city driving.
I powershift my GP and hit 21psi and I have no idea what my MPG's are. All I know it's is a blast to drive and it saves me $700 a month from my CTSV Coupe

i get 24.7 all city driving. makes me sad. but i'm also running 25% e85. recently started driving like a real grandpa and got it up to 26.
Averaging 28mpg compared to 32 I used to get lol.
Speaking if mpg...probably didn't help this morning when I floored it against a 335xi. Absolutely left him in dust, I was a bit shocked to be honest. My grandfather has that car and it isn't some scrub either.

Terry, I know you said you were still pursuing the JB4 for the N18 - any progress on that? I believe I remember you saying you weren't seeing the gains you hoped for, but were still actively looking into it.
I think it'd be great if you could make that work, especially in light of the OBD tuning that is supposedly coming from Manic.

Ok guys got the intercooler installed and JB+ at 100% and runnin about 98 octane with CAI and 2nd cat delete. Car pulls awesome! Just curious what you guys think is the best downpipe for the JCW? And will a catless downpipe really add a ton more power over the JCW downpipe? Or is it maybe only about 10 more whp?

If it makes you feel better I actually backed mine off. Running 100% on an S isn't worth the risk.
If you do some digging of threads back in 08-09, guys were cracking pistons pursuing the 20-21 psi mark. These N18's aren't drastically different from N14's. 18psi is perfect, it leaves some room for over-boost, and hotter climate I feel.

Just installed the jb+ on my mini tuned at 40% .
Jeff at burgerxxxx told me to use the jb+ at 40% because my cooper s has the jcw tuning kit :(
Honestly I'm very much tempted to go higher on percentage considering that my car has the akrapocic downpipe , alta intercooler , forge recirc. Valve , muffler delete hose , k&n filter ....
The question is how high in percentage can I go with my jb?
Ps: I run my car on 98octane
Temp in Beirut is around 60 F in winter and goes up to 90F in summer

Well im running 100% on a JCW and it has lower compression that the S and also has forged pistons im pretty sure from reading online a bit. I have been monitoring the timing and it looks great. Does not seem to be any knock. Mariokart is running 100% also on his GP and the compression is higher than my JCW. But my main question was how much more HP would a catless downpipe really bring? If its only around 10whp just not sure if its worth it for me.

The downpipe is big improvement, almost as much as a JB+ at 50%, the sound is 25% louder so I added a vibrant resonator where the second cat was.
Btw, I'm also complete with my own Mini downpipe. I'm making 50 of them.

Do you have aftermarket pistons? Because the JCW/GP are not forged.

So i guess it dose not really say if they are forged it just says :
- Upgraded/Optimized Turbo Pistons and four piston brakes (adapted from the MINI Challenge race car)
