POV FIRST DRIVE IN MY STAGE 1 SUPERCHARGED R53 COOPER S!! *200BHP!!*

[@CournoyerInc]

you have the stewie griffin accent

[@Sa3Tv]

I’m taking that as a compliment 😂😂😂

[@robertblackburn752]

Best thing about my Mini Cooper S is cornering! Country road, see a turn coming up, put foot down take it at 55 to 60, smooth, precise no roll, no wobble, solid fun, Minis are awesome!

[@thegreatfisher]

Just a heads up with R53's use the whole rpm range, they have a supercharger. When you did your pull at the end of the video you were shifting right before the power band kicked in so it really doesn't show how fast the car is.

[@marcusgs12345]

They will do 60 in second incredibly quickly, even in standard tune!

[@Jonathan-qz9kd]

Bud you need a catcam 469, 550cc injectors with a 17 percent pulley with an intercooler and you will be looking at 240 bhp Will go like a rocket

[@Sa3Tv]

The temptation is unreal!! I’ll have to look around now 👀

[@Jonathan-qz9kd]

Look up 1320 mini mate mine is running around that I use it on track days but I have multiple mods like kw club sport suspension etc i can hang with m3s on track fairly easily

​@@Jonathan-qz9kd do you have an Instagram for a build on the car?

[@p1fly]

​@@Jonathan-qz9kd are they reliable with track use as I'm contemplating buying one

[@BillyJo44]

Great review mate, Looks so much fun that car

[@Sa3Tv]

Highly Recommend to own one atleast in your life time haha

[@ianturner9894]

Just a remap isn't getting you anywhere near 180 never mind 200. You need a smaller pully, bigger Injectors, cooler plugs and an air box mod plus a remap to get you anywhere near 200

[@isaackhan5030]

Considering it's between 160 and 170 from factory I'm not sure you're correct, with the pulley reduction + injectors/plugs and the other standard mods that go along, as well as the remap to match people get 230-240 out of them

[@waldo_dj07]

Mine came bone stock 183 so it will

[@jmsx14]

6 seconds is solid. I reckon you can get it 5.5. 200bhp maybe 4.9 max. So 6 was solid and you didn’t run out 3,4 enough.

[@Sa3Tv]

After seeing the comments on this video I genuinely think buying one and building one for content! I didn’t realise the awesome following these cars have and the potential too!

[@r53caspar]

I counted to 10 to 60 and you never went passed 4500 rpm. Nonsense! Drive it properly!

[@Sa3Tv]

Car is long gone!

[@Mr330d]

Agreed I used a stopwatch app and also got 10 seconds 😂

[@TimV1987]

Yeah, it was 6.4 seconds 0/60 kph :)

[@Sa3Tv]

What do you guys wanna see next with the mini?! 🤪

[@bootmod3662]

Full send!!!!

[@automotivediversity554]

What map was it you had installed?

[@Sa3Tv]

Just a simple stage 1 👍🏼

[@sunilmisra1]

I’ve got one of these. Love it

[@kimisdaman]

A tune, alone, added 40hp? Companies selling tuning kits are claiming 15-25hp.

[@alexanderlevett2095]

why dont you rev the car into the red? this is not a true 0-60 dose the car no justice

[@rafaelrodriguez5429]

That is because the pick of hp an torque is not that high in rpm so is better to stay more around 5.500

[@equaliser2265]

Red means dead ,if you go into that for too long you will kill the engine.

[@diecaprisonne643]

​@@equaliser2265no, engine have got extra rev limiter

[@jordanthom8963]

Atleast go too 6k

[@jordanthom8963]

The worst 0-60 ever😅 need too learn too drive.

[@christosziss1426]

Man you dont even rev it 😅 !!!

[@arronjohnstracey3280]

Im curious, how bad was yours on fuel, i didnt have mine long enough to find out

[@Sa3Tv]

Funny you say that! It was pretty shit but remember it’s supercharged! Not designed to save any fuel lool

[@jamesward9171]

Driving like my Nan, you allergic to redlining the car?

[@Sa3Tv]

Yep 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

[@ndzelo1936]

0:49 😁

[@ForexFitness12]

Can’t accuse you of speeding if they can’t see the speedo🤣sick car man

[@Sa3Tv]

No speed was broken 🙃

[@r53caspar]

Who is this nobber? You can’t stage 1 a cooper s….you need to modify properly analog wise ie supercharger pulley, cams…

[@ceeeya3440]

Does the abarth come close on accelerating?

[@Sa3Tv]

100% no 😂 the acceleration is so much better compared to the abarth there’s no doubt.. being a supercharger its quick boost and obv has more bhp and torque :)

[@ceeeya3440]

@@Sa3Tv I was just curious as I have a 595, new exhaust as the back box was really starting to rust on mine and it’s only a 66 plate, I’m booked in for a stage 1 and hoping to go further I love it, so much fun man so much fun and it turns heads allot!!! Enjoy the new car dude and stay safe

[@Sa3Tv]

When I did the exhaust on the abarth it had no rust which is rare! But yeah man enjoy the car ❤️

[@johnj287]

0-60 took 11.65 seconds on your video. Joker.

🥲

[@jamesowen4360]

I'm considering one of these, Do they have many issues?. I'm also looking at a civic FN2 and Clio 197

[@Sa3Tv]

Cooper s all day long!! Not many issues so far 😅

[@jamesowen4360]

@@Sa3Tv really that good? I love them. Just heard horror stories would be my second car for weekend blasts so I suppose it wouldn't matter 🤣

[@Sa3Tv]

Thing with the R53 engine… they are really reliable! As long as you keep on top of basic maintenance and services you be fine… I’d avoid the forums 😂

[@diecaprisonne643]

mini have got many issues with chain tensior... you've to change it by every service

Your m140i against a stage 2car

Always looking to hire a airfield for drag races 😞 not easy unfortunately

[@bootmod3662]

Cold air intake next?

[@stephenblakey4913]

No pod filter on this car is a bad idea it'll lose power. Maybe a enclosed filter but not a pod.

[@declancarter5384]

Decent video but stop been scared to take this car to redline, the make maximum hp at about 6500 so you’re changing gear way earlier

[@Sa3Tv]

🧐🧐

[@Ok-vk9wx]

If it wasn’t tuned on a rolling road then that ‘stage 1’ map will of done nothing. Maybe changed your throttle response curve and left you £350 out of pocket that’s it 🤣

[@sheilamorrison1954]

Tell me you know nothing in 1 sentence.

[@Ok-vk9wx]

@@sheilamorrison1954 Know nothing? I’ve chucked a new engine in mine, welded the supercharger baffles, baffles sump, airtec fmic, kavs 17%, scorp exhaust, bvh, alta air intake, rooster bpv. But yeah i know nothing, never done a days work on an R53 in my life… ‘Stage 1’ isn’t a thing on these, they’re not like a turbo car where you can turn up the boost, add some fuel and timing and make more power. All hardware stays as it is so it just chucks abit more timing and a sharper throttle response curve. The power whoever did the map quoted you is a lie. An R53 will not make more than 175hp without changing any hardware.

More like 10 seconds to 60

Alright Karen 👍🏼
