hi

you see i dont know what the 0-60 times are on any type of mini such as 850,1275 gt, ect. and i would realy like to find out, also how much approximatly how much do stage 1,2,3 tunes cost and what effect do they have? and also what is involved with tuning (carbs, performance air filter,ect).

thanks

Hi,

my 998 City E was doing 0-60 in a pretty dismal 19 or so seconds when it was standard. Since then, the timing and fuel mixtures have been a bit messed up, and i've fitted a stage 1 kit, at the moment it's running 22 seconds hopefully that'll drop when it goes in for tuning next week.

a Stage 1 tune for a carb Mini from Minispares will cost in the region of £170, which includes a new inlet manifold and carb needle, maniflow exhaust manifold, lcb downpipe and RC40 box. Oh, and a K&N air filter. Stage 1's are commonly used simply to make the car run smoother, and do have a slight effect on performance figures (Minispares claims a 20% increase in power). Some people even claim improved fuel economy with Stage 1's. Once the kit is fitted, you need to take it to a rolling road session to have the fuel mixture and timing adjusted to suit the new system. It can cost between £70 and £140 for this, depending on how much work is needed.

As for Stage 2 and beyond, i do not have much info. I've seen Stage 2's costing £500+ which is waaay out of my budget, and those kits include modified/uprated heads and camshafts.

so whaqts the best way of determining a good 0-60 run?

rolling road?
stopwatch, a mate and a quite road at 3o'clock in the morning?

stopwatch, a mate and a quite road at 3o'clock in the morning?

Lester

Substitute "Mate" for "12 year old brother" and you've got my method. There's a wide, open, two-lane road about 2 minutes away from me, about 1/2 a mile long and is a dead end, so at night it's completely empty.

guessing mine will be around 6.5-7 seconds... only a guess tho, will test this on the strip. i may be completly wrong. thats with 140bhp (what im getting the engine tuned to) when i get a SC box tho the boost will be cranked up first on the list is a new shell tho

8 seconds or so. Need to get the map tuned at a rolling road though, at the moment it's still on the default MJ map.
Gets quite a bit of torque steer on some bits of road!

lol, i take it this is one of the "easest" methods then?

what if she's 3 and my little girl, but handy with a stopwatch, is that ok?
