Wish my first mini had around 80 brake

75-85banana's at the flywheel. Always take RR figures with a pinch of salt.

Depends on the rollers! Around the 80 mark I'd say, at the fly.

Okay, it's been on the Rollers at Southam Mini & Metro Centre but unfortunately, their comupter is broken and as such could not produce a curve on a graph!!

However, the analogue readout adjacent to the Rollers was indicating 79 - 80 at the wheels as a maximum, so if you stick an extra 18 to 20 BHP (for transmission losses) that would be around 97 to 100 at the flywheel!!! This sounds a bit high to me so it will go back on for a freebie when they fix the computer.

The really good news is that with a little bit of tweaking of the pressure regulator we got it running sweet with no misfires, fluffing, stuttering etc. Ran it back home and it's running like a dream albeit a bit noisey so the cat will have to go back on this weekend!!

For those that are interested, the pressure regulator is now set at 2.6 - 2.7 bar at idle. The prognosis was that it was fuelling a bit lean at the top end thus the pressure increase.

Will post the graph when I visit again.

As some of the guesses didn't say whether they were at the Flywheel or Wheels it's difficult to award the prize (praise only) but a quick look dow the list sees.....

.....as the winner predicting 80 @ the wheels.

Apparently, when first built by AEG of Birmingham, it was supposed to be equivelant to Works "S" spec'n which I understand was 90 BHP???

Nah that is billyB either it was S spec or it wasnt.

If it is S spec then id say 77BHP
If it is a standard without head mods.. id say 65 max.. the TB wont make any difference to be honest. Might make it slightly more throaty.

but then again, arent those rollers renowned for being pretty slippy???

In that respect, im gonna say 134 at the wheels

EDIT: DOH! Late! lol

Wait!!! I won too!!! I said that!!

If that = 80 BHP at wheels then you did

99bhp @ the wheels

Certainly was

[Prawn]

bit late mate! the results have already been posted!

and 99bhp ATW from an mpi is NEVER going to happen!

To be honest, I'd have expected more like 79-80 at the crank than at the wheels....

it's all about how it drives though, not just chasing numbers.

99bhp @ the wheels

I wish !!!!!

I might be wrong here but I belive it was John Cooper who applied the "S" and the "Works" to the MPi's as an upgrade?

My comment was that AEG carried out the same (or very similar) work when they modified it from new (+ a few other bits like a 5 speed box etc.). I guess it's "Technically" correct but "Historically" (i.e "pedigree") NOT???

I'm just happy it's running like a Singer sewing machine

[danny1]

ahahah yeah i win. shame thers no prize.

could i ahve your engien though do a swap you can have my 998 with a broken crank shaft. otehr than tahts its fine

has a healthy rattle to it thats all ahaha
