Photos/specs of street MINIs making over 300WHP on pump gas

Seeing so Many Minis Out there It would be nice to see some
engine bays of various setups:
  • Supercharged
  • Aftermarket Supercharded
  • TwinTurbo (Alta etc)
  • Turbo Only
  • Nitrous
  • N/A (! ?)
Please do not make a debate in this thread!
I believe dynoplots are not necessary since anyone can make numbers

Please keep this thread clean!

That cooper setup is trick. True sleeper status aside from the core in the front bumper.

actually, the answer is NO.

We have made 397whp on stock engine using our base turbo kit (gt2871), custom intake manifold, front mount intercooler, custom fuel system running VP MS109.

you can easily make 300whp on the stock engine (stock intake manifold and fuel system) by removing the s/c and bolting on a turbo conversion kit (incl. electric water pump and upgraded I/C). the weak link is the factory piston and upgrading them to one of our forged designs manufactured by JE Pistons is recommended, but with proper tuning, the engine can reliably produce the power running pump gas (91 octane)

I think they were asking about the standard Cooper R50 turbo DR FUH.

I would think you'd need deep dish forged pistons at a bare minimum(or cheap out and plunk on a head spacer to melt your stock pistons). Uprated exhaust valves would be nice to handle the high exhaust temps. If you cheap out go ahead and play with the boost until the stock rods or crank let go!

Longboard I used to keep up to date with your MINI's day-to-day progress, but what are the current #'s you're putting down? You have your latest dyno?
