THE MINI JCW BROKE.. BUT WE SENT IT ANYWAY!! HOW MUCH POWER?!

[@Marsha20121]

Love the mini project - I have an R56 Cooper S with 120,000 miles and still going strong so I'm a big fan of them. I'd do a walnut blast on the valves if you haven't already as well as look to clean the injectors because when either are gunked up they can often not give you enough fuel/air, thus robbing you of power. Looking forward to seeing more bro

[@mike185bmx]

I work round the corner from these guys, often seen (and heard) a few highly turned focus rs coming down the road, always puts a smile on my face (with a little envy) keep up the good work!

[@stewarthendry2012]

I loved owning a JCW when I was living in Cyprus. I bought it from an enthusiast and it was mint, stripped out and absolutely rapid! Seeing this early transformation brings back fond memories and I hope you enjoying many happy and safe memories with this project bro. Let’s see you make this R56 a beast to be envious of!!! 💪🏼

[@joemulholland7034]

I’ve recently had my 2008 r56 copper s stage 2 mapped with: decat, airtec intercooler, gfb dv+, pipercross filter and res delete, it made 225bhp and 310nm. I need to get my intake ports cleaned up as well as a JCW turbo fitted and a full intake system and then I’ll be going back for more power hoping in the region of 260-270ish.

[@tompritchard2135]

Get the inlet valves walnut blasted and you’ll see more of those HP’s come back mate.

[@CookieRoxette]

I'm curious. Let's say the coked valves were contributing to a 15 BHP loss from stock (example). If they were then cleaned up, would the car just regain that 15 BHP, or would it need a re-tune to get it back?

[@tompritchard2135]

@@CookieRoxette mine regained the power without a map, purely because it wasn’t restricted anymore.

[@modermonkula]

Are these engine direct injection?

[@tompritchard2135]

@@modermonkula yes mate. So around the back of the inlets gets coked up and blocked.

[@milanmiloradovic5235]

True

[@TwoSpanners]

Fresh cat and a walnut blast on the inlet valves, as long as the compression and turbo are good it'll be fresh again. They need it fairly often if you care about those ponies, the catch cans help but it doesn't eliminate it. Fun little cars 👍

[@Glennballygo]

Love seeing this car being worked on as i work on my r56 jcw, they are known to have chocolate engines 😂

Nice shop, cant even flash a MED17 via obd and needs to send the file to have it checked. I would not recommend doing a ecu calibration there.

[@TrenC21]

Get the inlet valves and intake manifold cleaned out...should gain some power back...also remember if these are whp readings.... factory quotes you on flywheel so then adding the drivetrain loss...i think you would be well over factory claimed power...

[@garethedwards2883]

Ben is so knowledgeable which makes the car development videos really interesting

[@EVOLLOVEx]

Haven't been watching much youtube for a while but I'm back and here is Jamie still keeping it real 💯 👌 top video bro

[@jakebishop3227]

mate your running a N14 Mini Cooper S that is 178hp stock and the intercooler and the intake as boosted it up. you have a JCW KIT from factory with front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts. A real JCW IS called a N18 that will be running 211 hp or more because they usually overpower from stock. It’s not a JCW mate. please don’t send your car to any mechanic apart from Lohen or 1320 MINI. if you want your mini running sound go there !!

[@jakebishop3227]

@@winzfeld1 omg you don’t know mini’s then 🤔😂

[@rootsmanuva82]

WHP on a dyno isn't BHP, PS or HP. Considering drivetrain loss, 194 on the dyno translates to about 205-215 hp @ the crank. A true BHP measurement would involve a brake applied to the flywheel, and the intensity of this brake would determine the bhp. Another words the JCW DID make the claimed hp/bhp from the factory. That being said I love this channel and keep the great content flowing!

[@officially_gassed]

This dyno reads at FLY wheel, measures at the wheels and uses a drive train calculation to give you a BHP figure..

[@u04pww2]

Incorrect

[@bluetune4705]

FYI the earlier JCW’s made 192 flywheel HP it was the later 58 onward cars with slightly different spec that made 208. So the engine in this car is spot on at 194.

[@aaronfricker4318]

Ive got an R56 MCS N14. Non-JCW. Honestly, think its a shame the engine is so slated. 66,000 miles, FSH & kept well, amazing car.

[@S5UPERCHARGED]

Ah the notorious N14, good luck 😅

[@hyper8545]

I'd be interested in seeing a dyno graph for this mini compared to a mk6 gti or mk7. Idk what year the mini is 🤔

If it had the upgraded hoses, intercooler etc could the previous owner not have had it mapped and just returned it to stock map/ecu for sale?

If it’s not a genuine jcw and it has the jcw tuning kit installed at the dealer then N14 made 195-200 go. Not 211hp

How come the seats in your mini cooper jcw are just like standard ones out of a standard one not like the booket seats you should have in a jcw mini

[@chrissyboy7047]

They arent standard seats. It looks like the lounge leather interior which was an expensive option. Still not buckets tho as you say

[@bilaltariq7819]

Recaro jcw buckets are 1.5k for a set nowadays, not sure how much they were from factory

[@CharlieboySLONDON]

The lounge seats In this are actually an upgrade and the buckets were even more of an upgrade. The standard seats were flat leather.

[@michaelspataro1964]

194 at the wheels so this car was making in the mid low 200’s which is a nice bump over the standard 211. Haven’t finished the video yet tho so not sure if it gets tuned at the end

[@michaelspataro1964]

Just finished, tuned at 240 wheel is awesome. All these dynos measure power at the wheels so that 240 is pretty damn solid

[@zokusharuuku1091]

Shoot my ex’s mini had all those upgrades and a decated downpipe, and it was still on the stock tune😂 ps you’ve got to understand that whp is different from power at the crank. You were making more power than stock not less. Now you are making 237whp you are closer to 270hp at the crank. I’m not sure what sort of smoke that tuner was blowing saying your car should have made power sooner because the turbo is small. An engine is going to make power where it wants depending on the cam duration, lift, overhead cam vs under, the valve airflow(2vs4 valves) and intake manifold runner length, the turbo is just going to add power on top of the curve not change in the curve entirely.

[@Mac_F87]

All dynos in the UK read corrected BHP not WHP. So it was making 237 bhp not 237 whp.

The R56 doesn.t last long, anything you try to do. The engine is the worst part of the car. I got friends with r56 that invested around 35k Euros in tuning and still got broke. If not the case, in time it gets damaged. r53 or f56 would do much better.
