Actually, being the supercharged SS, it isn't, but I digress...

Not that there is anything wrong with a Cobalt SS, my friend has a SS/TC, which is frustratingly fast, but, I just had to let you know...

 

drew you might want to look and see if there are bigger injectors available..

 

Is there anyone out there have step by step instruction for changing fuel injectors on Mini Cooper 2002

 

What car?

 

Tell him to leave the injectors alone for now. Once he gets a bigger turbo AND finds someone to tune it the injectors may be helpful. He'll probably never need them.

Much more useful mods would be the normal stuff: exhaust, intake, intercooler, Jan tune etc..


I have to wonder though how someone who can't understand a forum could know enough to be able to change turbos on a highly computerized european car... (the fact he wants to change the injectors is a clue that he doesn't)

 

one of the first ways to hack an EFI engine was to change the air sensor and injectors in a matched way. The stock ECU thinks it's doing the same thing, and the engine is just getting more air and fuel.

I've seen dual turbo V8s that used that method for running stock tunes. But the ECUs are a bit smarter now and it's harder to do this.

But gotta love they guy for trying...

are there any tunes that the dealer cant tell if u did?

 

w/e u wanna think

 

They could tell if they really wanted to, but I've never heard of a dealer reading the EEPROM and doing a bit comparison.

Matt

 

you don't need to justify getting the mini over a cobalt.

the cobalt is barely faster then a cooper s, and that's only in a straight line. throw in any turns and there's no comparison.

 

o so they really dont care unless u go in with a tune? he wants to do ported head ik it would be good to tune it but u guys think he needs too?

i like the cooper s they look hella clean dropped. specially my friends hes got a roll cage looks really sick. depends which cobalt ur talking about tho the turbo'd one handles amazing and i got that suspension on mine and then some

 

road and track magazine said it best about the cobalt:

pro's: great engine.
con's: it's a cobalt.

I've never seen a cobalt come out to the races.

 

lol im not bother with that. that can be said about any car. but i auto-x mine it does fine for me

 

I never understand the point of these pissing matches.

Cobalt SC is faster than Cooper S. JCW is faster than Cobalt SC. Cobalt TC is faster than a JCW.

MINIs corner better. Cobalts are faster in a straight line. Looks are subjective.

Let's move on people

 

ya i just wanted to know the answers to the questions lol. how much power do the jcw's put down?

 

completely stock about 198-210 hp and torque to the ground - depending on the individual car.

a tune can easily bump that up to ~210-220 hp and 225-240 torque to the ground. Once again results vary from car to car.

It's easier to add more torque than hp.

 

thats pretty good would like a to run a fully bolted and tuned jcw.
how much whp does a fully bolted non tuned jcw make?
