Curious, with this range of power on the mini 230-260 horse at the wheels, torq 200-210 plus..

what type of acceleration figures are accurate for say a 0 to 60 or a qrtr mile? ball park if no one knows, like what ? a 5 second range and a 12 second range quarter?

with say a decent driver and road tires..thanks guys

 

I mean the twin charger kit, added on to the mini s, what type of clocked in speed are we talking about

 

134mph, according to MINIusa.com, unless you have an ECU adjustment to eliminate the top-speed limiter.

 

Generally speeking, 250 won't get you to 12sec. 300 with slicks, maybe. A drag customer of ours, running 230-ish did a 13.8 with 1st gear traction problems. MAybe he would get close to 12.99, but i think low 13's is reasonable. But 250WHP is kind of the limit on the stock Mini engine.

 

I ran a 12.7 @ 113 mph on street tires when I was making 275 WHP...but that was cutting a 2.0...so...belive me it was tough...I was driving the heck outta those tires...LOL...they were very quick to spin...cuase they were not only too hard ..but bald...LOL

 

bump for a ride request...
I have been debating going for a twincharge upgrade for a while now. I was wondering if there was anyone in the New England area that would be willing to give me a ride so I could feel the change in the car's characteristics (any turbo-lag, driveability issues, clutch engagement/frying issues) I am curious to feel the difference between my JCW and a TC ride (again ride request, not asking to drive it)
Thanks in advance,
O

 

i wonder if i can drop below the 14 sec mark with the mods i have....

 

If you want to come to Philly, I'll run you around in our TurboKompressor car.

 

Maybe Andy's page will help.

 

Hmmm... 300miles from Boston to Philly... I smell road trip!!! I'll let you know if I can't find anyone closer. Would you be willing to do a weekend test ride?

 

I'll host videos of these twin charged or single charged beasts if needed.
Please send them to nawaf@lap57.net or if they are too big I'll give u the direct link to upload.
