what specific mods - and how much power

will help me get about a 5.5-5.9 0-60mph
and a 13.8-14.4 quarter mile time????

from a 04 Mini cooper S

 

twin charge....

 

You don't need to go the twincharger route, although it is definitely the fastest marketed kit available right now. You may feel it's overkill though. MINI Mania's Stage III kit has been given a 0-60 of 5.9 and quarter-mile of 14.24 @ 100.02 by Motor Trend, their site is www.minimania.com. Their Stage III kit looks like a lot of fun, something I'll consider in the future for my MINI.

NO SUCH THING AS OVERKILL..... you can only kill it.... you can't over kill

might as well add the nitrous to the twincharge .... boil tires to your hearts delight..... serve your revenge to your neighbors porsche....
priceless.........................

 

slicks running low pressure with intake/pulley/exhaust will probably get you around those 0-60 times. 1/4 mile might want to add nitrous to that.

 

I agree with Zamirz, the biggest impediment to fast 0-60 times in the MCS is traction. My MCS took about 6.4 s to go from 0-60 during a 14.7 quarter mile time. Stickier tires and a better launch technique (my 60-ft was pretty poor) should get a normally modded P/I/E (pulley/intake/exhaust) MCS into the high 5's.

 

What RPMs is the best to launch at? I had a JCW works Mini, the only times I launched, 3,500 was WAY too high, and I think somewhere around 2,500 hundred got it. Anyone else?

 

I'd try playing around with different RPM, and various levels of feathering the throttle and clutch. I haven't yet found the sweet spot, but it's fun trying. :smile:

 

well my mini is gone now (but not forgotten).... (but i think Tuls is going to rebuild it as a race car so that is even better). And an 05 Works is coming. It was just really obvious when you were to high, as you would spin the wheels around the block.

 

It depends, I've got 215 whp. Here it Miami humidity really kills your times. In the summer when the engine is cool it around 5.6 seconds, as it get warmer I would say somewhere in the 6.3 area. Now with the temps in the 70s I'm in the in the mid 5's constantly. We will see how they improve as the temps keep on dropping.

Hows this for 0-60 6.7 secs?

How about 1/4 mile in 15.2?
