On Tuesday the 2nd December, i paid a visit to 1320MINI, for some more horse power. I asked for a 15% pulley reduction, new uprated plugs and a GRS intercooler to be fitted.

When the work was finished, the car was then put on the dyno to see what the result was. And what a result it was too, i've now got 222bhp @ 7042rpm, and 176.5 lbft @ 5989rpm. With as much as 150lbft available from 2900rpm. Before the work, the standard engine was making a peak torque figure of 150lbft @ 5250, with 192bhp.

So from just a pulley reduction and intercooler upgrade, i now have 30 more bhp, and 26 lbft more torque . And i can feel all that extra power all the time on the road. Paul at 1320MINI said before i drove home that my MINI would feel like a different car now, and how right he was . It's just fantastic to drive now, more power and torque everywhere and yet it's dilivered much smoother than before.

So thanks to 1320 for there efforts, i now have more power than a WORKS MINI, and i've paid a lot less for it too .

I'll see if i can get a scan of the dyno graph, to show all the extra i now have compered to before .
I'll be hoping to break into the 14's at Santa Pod now .
