I stuck it in drag racing also, but also in here case not everyone looks at the racing sections..
Thanks..

I agree with your above times as i think this is a sub 15 sec 0-100 car. However this just shows how much the power ratings on the R56 are underrated by MINI. On a 2650lbs car you need around 220bhp ( flywheel ) to run a 98mph in low 14's.

my 5 speed Type R used to run 14.3 at 98, with 180hp and 140ft.lbs....street tires. I really think the JCW engine kit with the higher n(then a stock r56 not a type r :P) rev limit the fact that the r56 has and extra gear it should do it. But your right it should have a little more power to do it.....we have to see a decent driver do it, get the 60 foot to 2.3ish..

What does your MINI look like - ie, what tires and wheels and options are on the car?

Jeez. I'm guessing you are at or near sea level, right? I seriously doubt I could run high 14s at my altitude (5,000+ feet!)
There wasn't a similar calculator for Forced Induction engines. Too many variables?
Still, it would be interesting (fun) to try... where's a track?

I am guessing it would be tough to duplicate such quick times in Albuquerque... the one caveat being that Forced Induction engines are not (as) negatively affected by altitude as Normally Aspirated engines are. I came across a calculator online that breaks down power loss into something like 3% for every 1000 ft you ascend for NA engines, which translates into a 15% loss at 5000 ft! 21% up at 7000 ft (Santa Fe)...

There's a drag strip here, but I think they already closed for the winter.

21%!!! Yikes. Glad I got the turbo!!!
That - and I had just watched The Italian Job again...

Sorry guys..been busy alllll day..
As far as wheels go, I posted up a thread a while back..
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=117490
Tons of pics towards the bottom
They are Enkei RPM2's..weighing in at 18 lbs I believe it was.. Stock 17" runflat dunlop runflats..
I launched at about 3500 rpms and slipped the clutch until I could go..track was decent.. I definitely have the shifting down...but my first time launched (at the track)...so..it could only improve..--so I thought.. but all in all..I had some good runs.. I was testing different launch RPMS, the higher launched and longer the slipping is for the higher ET's, I'd say a 3K then small slip of the clutch was plenty for this car...
I don't know what the exact weight it, but I have the sunroof, 17" wheels (2lbs lighter than stock I believe) and H&R Springs..
Speed button was on, ASC was off...
As far as mods... well.. Let me put it this way, it's basically the power of the JCW kit, minus the ECU reflash... Overall, I was happy with the times.. I strongly believe that with some real non-runflat tires, the ET could have been slighty lower..

I posted mostly 15's and 1 14.9 totally stock on a warmer day. It seems like with the full Alta kit's hp claims, you would have to be screwing up to not occasionally touch the 13's. They're claiming ~220hp at the wheels, fox-bodied Mustangs could come close to a flat 14 (the LX notchbacks) with 225hp at the crank, weighing much more than a mini.
Thankya for the hope of consistently hitting high 14's with mild mods. I'm hoping just stickier street tires will do it, but we'll see.

I don't think it's fair to just say that we should be able to hit high 13s just because other cars with similar power are doing so. You have to consider tires, drivetrain (RWD almost always hooks better at the dragstrip than FWD. Not a rule, but from what I've seen), and most importantly, gearing. They are just all different.
Would be fun to see how little or how much work is required to get these little cars into the 13s, though
