I've recently gotten interested in Mini's and have begun educating myself. I am interested in purchasing a used F56 platform with an N18 engine. Where / how would I find a TESTED, PROVEN, engine configuration and tune that can produce a reliable daily driver with 300 hp? Ideally I would like a set of engine specifications I could take to a quality builder to perform the internal work and then I would handle the bolt-on on accessories and re-installation. I'm looking for more of a wholistic picture than just a list of parts. I would appreciate any advice or referral to quality builder / tuners you can share.

 

Just realized I posted this in the F thread instead of the R thread, but if anyone has info to share I would still be appreciative. Thanks,
