I juat bought an '09 JCW with 8,400 miles on it. Our autocross club had its annual dyno day today, so I decided to check it out. Best pull was 208 hp and 217 ft/lbs of torque. Dyno was a Dynojet. Pretty impressive for a stock car.

 

If I were you, I wouldn't modify anything with those kind of numbers except for a tune from RMW.

Pretty impressive for a stock car.

Here is the dyno chart.

 

I would love to have mine checked! It feels like all that.

 

there is up to 20 whp hiding in the downpipe

 

Thanks for the tip. I am new to Minis. Just got one here in Germany. I had been a Big Ford guy owning a Galaxie and an F100, still like them but not too many around here. Having a total love affair with the JCW. I am open to suggestions to get more sound and power. What pipe swap to you suggest and maybe some other weekend projects? many Thanks

 

Nice numbers! Wife and I live in Glen Allen, so maybe we'll see you around....I have a Horizon Blue JCW Clubman....only one in the area.

 

Great! Mine is all black.



We have several MINIs who regularly autocross with us. You should come out and join us. Out first autocross is 3-21 at RIR. Virginia Motor Sport Club

 

Love the all black combo . I've been to VMP for autocross events, but haven't been over to RIR (other than for IRL races). Will definitely try and make it on the 21st.

 

Very nice car!! I have the topless version myself. I just hit 400 miles last night taking my friend and her 5yo daughter home to brooklyn. Going over the brooklyn bridge with top down was magical .

 

Mike, didn't see you at teh RIR autocross. We have a school on 4-10 and an autocross on 4-11, both at RIR. Hope you can join us. Register at http://www.vmsc.org

Here is my 5th run from 3-21.

The boostpressure on mine is 1,0 - I know its too low but is the normal figures 1,1 or 1,3 ?

 

Also did a dynopull with my 2008 JCW Clubman this weekend using a Dynapack. The results where quite nice, 213hp/280Nm

Wanted a "baseline" before adding some goddies later on

 

HI there, those numbers are very nice. Maybe some of these, ACTUAL numbers will shut up those that all that they can talk about is what a rip off a JCW is, and that the horsepower isn't all that great. Do the slippage percentage of about 12% and those numbers are really great. Probably in the 230 range. Anyway, nice.

 

Hmm, If I read my charts right 213 is the calculated power at crank, attached is the chart for the power at wheels( hub in this case)
190,5hp at wheels, and 12% loss is 213 at crank
But its still more than 211hp that´s the official numbers for the JCW in Europe

 

 

WOW, that's all I can say on this. Just look at that torque......lots of nice power.

 

Do you have a graph of the RMW tune to compare it to?


Mark

 

no because he NEVER HAS HAD A RMW TUNE.......... it was another tuner in Hawaii that tuned his car...........

 

My bad... I thought it was an RMW tune.


Mark

 

sorry to hear about your car..........

 

Thanks.... you and I both.

I'll have it up and running in the next week or two. I think unfortunately I'm putting it back to stock and going to buy a 2010 Chili Red JCW. Then I'll start all over.

Mark

PS. And speaking of that... can I load your tune on another car once I remove it off mine or is it VIN specific?

 

VIN specific but Dimsport says you can reset it by paying a fee to them

 

I HAVE NEVER CLAIMED TO HAVE A RMW TUNE. In fact in most of my posts where I mention my tune I specifically state it was not a jan tune.

This is getting old. You wanna compare my dyno to a RMW tune - there are plenty RMW tuned dynos in this thread and others around.
Let the posted charts talk.

Want to compare my new tuen to my dimsport tune? :https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...78-post49.html

Notice what the second sentence in that post says. Also note that post has never been edited.

I did get teh tune tweaked after that dyno run, but never dynoed it again until I put the alta tune on.

 

Dynoed mine and 228 hp at crank and 305Nm.. and that with no tune at all , only Forge IC..
