Power Mods

Hi Guys!

I'm new to mini ownership; I recently got myself a 2010 Clubman S (I'm in Australia fyi)!

I'm of course very interested modding this little thing (photos to follow when I actually pick the car up).

I am wondering what peoples opinions are about the best power mods to install? I am thinking of getting the Remus exhaust, but also see they sell a power mod and a responder. Any thoughts?

Matt

The exhaust would only change the sound below 250hp. If you want a power mod an ecu tune will give you a lot more for your money

Cheers - I'm thinking of these two if I can't get the NM Engineering one:

Anyone had any experience with Remus?

There is a manic dealer in Australia, not sure how far a drive for you. Stage 1 is stock car, if you change intercooler and downpipe you can do stage 2. Get the SPS switch to select between the 3 maps, and stock tune if you need to.

Since the remus is a piggyback tune, not sure if it keeps the same air/fuel ratios as stock (very lean). An ecu tune can richen the mixture for healthier running with very little effect on mpg, in my experience.

Seems to be only one near Melbourne. Also, stage 2 runs the engine at 88-93C versus stock 102-107C which I like a lot.

No problem, be sure to get ngk 1422 plugs if you go with a stage 2, the manic dealer should tell you that and more. Have fun!
