Want Clubman 50-75 times; N14/N18 same torque, different 0-60
Collecting some performance specs for Clubman. About the only things I am missing are 50-75 times. Hard to find for Clubman.
N12 50-75mph
N14 50-75 5.9 4th gear, 7.6 5th gear
N14 JCW 50-75 5.4 seconds
N16 50-75
N18 50-75
N18 JCW 50-75
Some interesting numbers are:
Drag coefficient: .34 (hardtop is .36)
weight distribution is 58.1/41.9 front/rear, hardtop is 62.7/37.3
Lateral Acceleration 200' skid pad .89g
Speed 700' slalom 67.2
I found it interesting the N14 horsepower is 171,torque is 177, and overoost is 192. The N18 horsepower is 181, torque also 177, and overboost 192. 0-60 N14 is 7 seconds, N18 6.8seconds. So how does a N18 Clubman go faster then an N14 if the torque is the same? All I can figure is the N18 has a wider band. Ideas?

Just stumbled on this in my research for buying a JCW. The double vanos should broaden the area under the curve - same peak but gains elsewhere. It can also decrease the lag a little, improving the actual boost achieved when accelerating, a trait you won't see in a dyno plot. While this is what it is supposed to do, I haven't seen a dyno plot of both engines on the same dyno on the same day, and anything else would make it hard to really compare.
