Anyone who has ever been in a Mini Cooper knows just how fun they are. They’re small and nimble, but they aren’t particularly fast in a straight line. Luckily newer Cooper S models use a turbocharged engine. This is done mostly for fuel economy since turbocharges are much more effecient then superchargers. The benifit of Mini using turbocharged engines is the massive world of tuning it opens up. Turbocharged cars respond great to simple intake and exhaust modifications, but none of that matters without a quality tune.
- Stock Power: 175 HP | 177 lb-ft(240 N-m)
- Tuned Power: 208 HP | 225 lb-ft(305 N-m)
Vivid Racing’s tuning division, VR Tuned, developed a tune specifically for the R56 Cooper S that increases horsepower and torque while also improving drivability. The tune from VR Tuned increased horsepower from 175 to 208 horsepower. The more important gain is the torque, which jumps from 177 to 225 lb-ft. That massive increase in torque will make your Mini feel way faster on the street, especially at low speeds.
