I have heard of some r53s pushing over 300 thaat are daily driven. I have not heard very high numbers out of the r56. I personally would not want much more then 250hp for my r56 if I was daily driving.

ThePro -
R53's between 350 and 400 wheel horsepower. PM me for details.

My 2002 R53 is at 262 WHP and 213 Tq. 300 WHP - 230 Tq is the goal

I'm probably pushing around 210 untuned right now, and I just want more! My goal is 250-260.

170 hp at the wheels

According to some scientists, that is nearly 200 bhp. Compare this to the stock figures of 163 bhp and about 137 whp.

Not bad for only a pulley, cat-back and tune.

The Mini is front wheel drive. There is not much point in putting power down to the wheels. Look for the twisties and have fun!
