R58 What else can I do to get more speed on my R58?
What else can I do to get more speed on my R58?
Hey guys! So I have a 2013 Mini Cooper S Coupe (R58) and I think I've upgraded just about all that I can to get more performance out of it. But I wanted to post what I got on here and see if you guys can think of anything else I can do to it to get more performance and more speed!
Here's what I got:
Go Fast Bits DV+ blow off valve
NM Eng. Air Charge Pipe and Discharge Pipe
NM Eng. Engine Torque Arm
NM Eng. Hi-Flow Induction Kit for N18 Engines
Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler
Milltek Catless Downpipe
M7 Vortex 2 Hood Scoop
Stage 2 tune from Manic Tuning
If there is anything else that I can add, please tell me! Thanks guys!

I'm not an engineer of any kind but I know that some have done computations on 'Drag Coefficient'. The MINI is, by design, shaped like a brick. At some point in the weight/horsepower and thrust/drag ratios, the amount of HP needed to increase speed by just 1 or 2 MPH will require a geometric increase in HP. Best I can advise is to enjoy the go-kart nimbleness that made the MINI a 4 time Monte Carlo rally winner that still lingers yet in the modern versions.
Without an upgraded turbo or going to a more aggressive tune. There is not much more you can do without heavy modification and custom work. Sounds like your R58 should be quick and fun to drive. GP2 diffuser and maybe the Gp2 underbody, belly pan, front diffuser might clean up the drag, but I dont know if its enough to measure unless you are trying to get MPG or a second off a track time.
