New member here! Got a few questions for you guys.
Is there a computer mod like that Shark injector made for non-s Coopers?

 

Kinda sorta... See Acces Port, Berger (sp) Motorsports... Hand held, programmable, ECU flash loaders... As is the DimSport tuner. May not work with n18's.

There ya go, clear as mud. It's Friday nite, whatcha expect
. Lol

 

That appears to be only one question....

 

Turner Motorsports sells the Shark Injector for the MINI on their website.

 

richardsperry, did you mean Burger Motorsports? I couldnt find Berger.

Melangell, yeah, i wanted to ask them one at a time to avoid redundancies. :-)

Porthos, Tuner has one, but it says its only for S Coopers. And only for manuals. Sadly, mine is an auto. :-(

 

What car do you have?

 

Got a '12 R56.

 

That means you have the N18 motor so you don't have many options unless you want to pull out your ECU and shipped somewhere to be bench tuned.

I'd suggest to go with the JB+ from Burger Motorsport for now.

 

Ah. I see. So my non-s engine is N-18? I did not know that. I saw N-18 on the website, but assumed it might be the model number of the new '14 Minis. I think ill go with the JB+. Thanks everyone!

 

And now, Melangell, my next question. :-)

Will an R57 hood fit on an R56?

 

@ss4ludwig

There is a Mods forum about 4 to 5 spots directly under this one.
There are separate areas under there for, exterior, interior, drivetrain, suspension, electrical, etc.
Just pointing this out as you can post in each and not have to stretch out your questions until each is answered.
Plus might be more Mod Guys looking thru there!

Just an idea

 

I'm sorry I assumed it was a S. You do not have the N18 yours is the N16 (I think).

 

Muchas gracias Bubba! :-)

 

Yeah, i was just reading that. Bummer. Is Dyno-tuning a good idea?

 

Can I ask why?

 

Dyno tuning is a great idea for a car that has a turbo on it and is capable of be tuned via the OBD2 port.

Neither of which you have. I don't think that there is much in the way of tuning options for the non-s.

 

I wouldnt mind switching with someone. I know some S owners like hoods with no hole. I like that look. Itd be mutually beneficial. B-)

 

Not to mention i just put an open filter on, so the more air under the hood, the better. Also switched out the chrome grille with an S grille.

 

I think that you are getting the R codes mixed up. From 2007 the R codes refer to body type and have nothing to do with engine type.

R55 - Clubman
R56 - Hatchback
R57 - Convertible
R58 - Coupe
R59 - Roadster
R60 - Countryman
R61 - Paceman

So there is a non-s R56 and a S R56, see what I mean.

I do believe that the hoods on a R56 non-s and R56S are interchangeable. The MINI Goodwood was a R56S with a non-S hood from the factory.

 

Ooooooohhh. Crap. My bad. Its been awhile since i referenced the R's. Thanks!
Cool. Whats the best forum to go on to find one, you think?

 

Honestly I think that you're going to have a tough time finding someone that wants to trade, especially if you are try to match colors to save cost in getting it painted. Also there is the whole shipping issue if they're not local.

You're best bet is to find car one semi-locally off a wrecked car.

New they are $368 plus shipping and paint. (Verify part number for your model year).

Youre right. Its gonna be tough. Luckily, patience is a virtue i indeed possess in spades. :-)

I was on this local Mini forum a while back where i actually had 2 guys interested, but wrong color. So i got my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the link! And im gonna start checking out junkyards for wrecked Minis. :-)
