Hey everyone, i have a 2006 Mini Cooper S im planning to get tuned in a few days. Im tuning with AdrianCL from the forums, heard great things about him. Before tuning i was wondering if anyone could give me a horsepower estimate for a car like mine. i have the following engine mods:

17% pulley
OBX Headers
Milltek exhaust with cat delete/test pipe
colder plugs
DDM intake
msd coipack
lighter flywheel
380cc injectors

I was hoping someone with similar modifications has dyno'd their car and could give me a hp estimate. I would like to get right around 190hp, depending on how much hp the car is currently producing. Also for anyone making above 190hp, how has reliability been with stock internals? Would hate to up the power in my car for it to break down for few months later. Would also love to hear any reviews of Adrians tuning, Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

 

I had those mods + ph2 cam and made 192 whp on a dynojet with a bad RMW tune (afr was 10 and dyno operator noticed it was missfiring because it was so rich)

IAT will cut 10hp off your subsequent runs because heat soak is so nasty on a dyno, need something like a ducted fan or leafblower to get the intercooler cooled down

probably 200 whp now that I have the tune cleaned up and not so rich

 

How long have you had it at 200hp? id like to make around that much power but wasnt sure if the motor could take it

 

5 years and probably 50 trackdays

 

If you keep up on proper maintenance you can daily a 225+ WHP mini for years.

 

You should have no problem getting 190hp at the wheel with your mods.
