    11:10 The bit about the compression ratio is incorrect. The N18B16A, which is the Mini Cooper S motor, actually has a higher compression ratio of 10.5:1. The N18B16C, which is the JCW motor found in the 2013 JCW and GP has a lower compression ratio of 10:1. Presumably this is to safely allow for the slightly higher boost on those models.

    My fiancé has a 2016 Mini Cooper S. It was stock when I met her. Now it will beat a base modelC6 Corvette in a drag race. I convinced her to get the dealer-installed JCW tuning kit. For $1,200, the dealer installed a remote controlled valved exhaust, and an ECU tune. In track mode, the exhaust has some insane pops and bangs.
    The JCW tune bumps it up to 211hp, but she added a JB4 on top of that so it should now be pushing close to 270hp at the crank. Upgraded the brakes, and threw on some 18” Enkei 5-spoke wheels with Michelin PS all-seasons. It’s an epic little daily-driver.

    • @cls63amgwagon34

    • @portermcsorley
      @portermcsorley 3 місяці тому +1

      @@cls63amgwagon34 Doubt all you want, but I assure you it is very much NOT impossible. I have indisputable video proof. (Beat the Vette 3/4 races, not a one-time fluke) A bone stock 189hp Mini Cooper S has a 1/4 mile time of about 14.4s, while a 2005 C6 Corvette does a 12.7s 1/4 mile. When the Mini is making 90-100hp over stock (conservatively), you should start to see how the Mini might be faster. The corvette is like 400-500lbs heavier than the Mini. Also, I was incorrect when I said 270hp at the crank, it is 270hp at the wheels in its highest setting while running 93 octane (So 300+ at the crank). 300hp 2750lb Mini Vs. 400hp 3200lb Vette. The Vette was a manual, and the Mini is an automatic, so the Vette does have that disadvantage.
      My fiancé’s Mini did a 8.4s 1/8 mile @91mph on 91 octane, on a very hot and humid summer day.
