Well if it isn't a product or service being devoloped by SPI I woud be an a$$. However if it is, I'd say we know who the a$$ is. Where would you like to put your money if it was bet that SPI was talking about something he is developing or somebody else?

It sounds to me like bragging rights. If it was advertising etc. we would see numbers - including where to buy.

Good job with the dyno, hopefully we will hear/see more soon.

I guess he advertising his business. Developing interest. Drawing attention to SPI.

Please spare me the poor semantics.

I am shocked NASA hasn't called you for advice. This is stimulating conversation. Makes me want to go watch Dumb & Dumber again

 

Sooooo....whats done to the block?

 

Just the fact you watched it the first time says it all.

Paul

 

 

wow... someone wants real info....

pistons..... that's it

 

that's probably the most accurate thing you have ever posted

 

that's great

 

Ahhh.... now you get it! That's also known as "branding". However, Paul, you've said in this thread that this dyno graph is from one of SPI's "products". You've also said he's "advertising" this product. Now, come on, and be a big man and step up and say you were wrong about the graph being one of SPI's current products and also you were wrong about SPI advertising a product.

 

Im assuming a tad higher compression? Low 9's?

 

LOL..Your irght they are not advertising anything. They are just showing a dyno plot from a mythological car. There are no services nor porducts(future or current) they are selling or trying to generate interset in. Whatever was I thinking. .



Paul

 

I wish more info was given. Just someone posting a graph. Is this for sale, details of what was done... Are all missing. AmD has dynoed a Mini at 400whp, but that doesn't mean anything. It blew up shortly thereafter.

 

Where to order the kit?

 

Better to ask-
Does this even exist for the MINI?
If so then someone post the details and price.
Otherwise, nice graphics.
Hey, Batman can run fast!

 

This is one of those threads that will take at least 500 pages to really start understanding everything about how these impressive dyno numbers were attained. First post was impressive but everything thereafter was devoid of meaning. First post was kind of lacking as well. Just as dgszweda1, details are missing!

 

Is this an advertisement for the "Tornado Air Intake" ?

I wouldn't doubt that someone could generate 300HP from the engine with enough parts, time and money.

Realisticly... how long will the engine last? Do you have to rebuild after every run?

How are you keeping that kind of power connected to the road?
Even with LSD, you would burn up any tires close to stock size under moderate/heavy acceleration. A lot of feathering the throttle I'd guess.

I'll wait for the long term review before I buy.

 

What about my irght?

Mythological car? I guess I must be a myth as well, because I've DRIVEN this "Mythological" MINI.

 

That's debatable.

I could argue that a vendor is always advertising. Once you've started speaking for a company, it's difficult to take a step back and post as an individual again. Regardless of your intent, you're always going to be seen as someone trying to sell something.

 

I hope not. The TwinCharged kit that SPI does sell, shows 250whp, when added to a stock MCS. I know Hubie of SPI tested that kit for a year prior to releasing to the public. Why a year? Because that's how much effort into long-term testing Hubie and SPI are willing to put forth.

Drag slicks with a good suspension set-up.

Yes, contrary to popular practice, the throttle pedal is NOT an on/off switch.

That is good practices to wait for long-term reviews prior to purchase :smile: But what here is there to buy?

 

I'm quite sure if the intent of this thread was for everyone to understand how that much HP was attained, then SPI would have posted the details of the R&D they've spent their money on. But, as any business man will tell you, it is not good business practice to share your R&D with outsiders. You've spent the money to get data/details from R&D, you're certainly not just going to give that away.

 

So you have some connection to SPI. Everything begins to get clear for me.

I guess typos totally confuse you. Sorry. It was a swap of th r and i of right. I realize these nuances really throw you as you believe this wasn't and advertisment for SPI, their products/services or future products/services. But of course your right. ALl they did is put up a pretty graphic. No mention fo what car. We are ll assuming its a cooper. I guess that our bad. No mention of car, what was done to whatever car/motor...LOL this really is interesting. Everybody so impressed can you imagine if this is a Viper? Wouldn't be so impressive.



Paul

 

Nope, just a potential customer and they happen to be in Phoenix just like me. Which gave me the opportunity to test drive their MCS. As I've said in a thread about the SPI Twincharged Kit, I'm saving up my pennies to buy one for my MCS.



What about my right?

 

A 300 hp F/I car really isn't anything to write home about. Granted it's cool that its a mini, but the Honda/Nissan import scene have been cranking out 300+ engines in every city in the U.S. for years. I know plenty of JRSC'ed Type R's that are putting down over 300hp. I had a single cam honda put down 240hp on stock internals with an tdo3 at 10psi. Granted its not huge power...but its impressive considering it starts with 108hp.

I'm sure details will come out in a bit, but you cant expect a full write up w/ pics 3 hours after the dyno results are posted

Soon enough 300hp Minis wont even be a conversation piece....
