A mate of mine claims hes buying a mini.. with 115bhp.
He also rekons it will get to 60 in 4.5 seconds....

I think hes exagerating a bit...

So.. whos right? me who doubts 115bhp in a mini will get you to 60 in 4.5 secs? or him.. who claims it does?

Cheers

 

not a chance


my VERY light mini turbo with 140ish does a 1/4 mile in 14.69

so roughly 5 seconds to 60.....

Cha-ching

Any chance i could have a spec of your car to show him? hes adamant that it will do it in 4.5 secs

 

spec

500kgs

1275 metro turbo engine
t3 turbo
7.5:1 CR
10 psi
stage 3 morspeed head
3.1 x-pin diff

about 140 bhp with no IC

the black mini on there

 

I would be surpised if it does 60 in under 7 seconds in reality, althouh will do it on the speed in under 6 probably as they normally over read!

115bhp is a little unlikely unless its on 1.5 roller rockers.

If it was 115bhp, then within 5000 miles it would be under 110.

I personally would be surprised if its a genuine 100bhp on a decent set of rollers even with roller rockers if its got a few miles on it since the build.


However, the devil is in the detail, mini miglias manage sub 4 seconds to 60 with N/a 1275cc engines.

 

I would of thought it will take a met engine to rev to 4k in 5 secs

Just like to say, that you say it does 60 in 4.5 seconds, but then again it says it does 60 in 6.5 seconds? Is some one getting there numbers mixed up.

Also pictures of this mini would be nice just cause am really into minis, most modified fast minis have been featured in miniworld or mini magazine. I heard of minis flying but thats only if they have things like this under the hood:

rover 216 rad
eletric fan

rear super minifin drums
non-serv system

front modified subframe
adjustable tie bars

all sitting on:

7x13 split rims
yokohama ao48r
175x50R13s

moris mini shell, removable clubman front end
modified nova front spoiler
sports arches
full roll cage

175 bhp

 

That mini you just posted the spec of sounds like the one im buidling but if i only too it to 10% throttle and had a misfire

 

Sean Forsyth; Nah, the spec he showed was on a 1.4ltr engine, but the one he is "getting" is a 1500cc, which he claims will do 60 in 4.5secs.

J871yhk; Will show him that spec, see what he says

Chip etc, cheers for the replies, cleared some stuff up a bit

 

I have just bought an xe mini on direct fit throttle bodies and dta management. I would say 0 to 60 in about 6 secs due to wheelspin....still scared the shit out of a civic type r last night though..poor sod didn't know what hit him!! Ignore the times it will or wont do, you have a right laugh in a quick mini

Have a look at Matt's site. This thing is rapid I know.

 

1.5 mini engine would be a very unreliable prospect mate!

unless he means 1460cc wich is the max you can reliabley get away with really.

 

Now that's a wicked site.... and he can't half take a shot!

The original guys specs on MSN say -060 6.5 seconds, i would have thought with the res of his specs 1.5 roller rockers would be nothing, that is one seriously dear gearbox!
