Hi :welcome:

:welcome: Corey ;)

Bluefin by superchips is easy and reverseable as a remap.

Playmini exhaust and an induction kit and it will sound much better ;)

Welcome to NMS Corey :bigwave:

Hello and welcome :) Nice Mini :)

Remap wise, you could go to the mini specialist Lohen, who do the bluefin for about 250 ish, however they do a complete package that includes a pipercross panel filter and iridium spark plugs for around the £320 mark.

Or Angel Tuning too, they do a similar package for £300 but that doesn't include the spark plugs and uses an ITG filter :)

[Coreygraham180]

was just looking at the bluefin and the angel tunning and they are saying close to the 125-30 bhp is this right??? seems quite a big increase for a remap filter and even plugs :confused:

Yep, cooper power :thumbs up:

[Coreygraham180]

awesome that and some stripes for the bonnet some new wheels and a strut barce and i will be laughing wish lit complete ..lol

[lamdacore]

Yeah, if iirc, the mini one 1.6 lump is essentially the same as the cooper engine but with a different map. I'm sure one of the guys will confirm this. I'm looking to get one of the packages (probably Lohen's) over the next few months, so will be interesting to see what happens - based on reviews though, it seems that the car comes to life just after 3000rpm...

Yeah a Mini One is just a detuned cooper, however the gear ratios are longer in the oniie so if you remap it, it can actually be quicker than a cooper ;)

Welome to NMS Corey!

If you're looking into a Remap, there was a Superchips 'Module/Handset' of mine, which Malcolm & Sioban, (our fave 'Mum and Dad' of NMS) were going to use but didn't - I'd need to check where it is now, but maybe you could investigate the 'COOPER' remap/upgrade with that, as it should be cheaper if you already have the hardware, which can be sent to Superchips for reprogramming. This is then just a 'plug and play' mod, which can be reversed by the same method. Instant COOPER!

Have a think and if you're interested, we'll have a hunt for the Module - it's technically Malcolm's now, 'cos I swapped it for a dinner and a pint on last year's Highland Tour! But if it's not being used, it might be worthwhile looking into. Remember there will be an 'Insurance Issue' with this sort of power upgrade, but it's also pretty undetectable... up to you.

so the one engine is just a detuned cooper so this might be worth a look into this but as i said i am not in a rush for the remap as i cant drive it for 6 weeks anyways cause my broken finger and i have managed to get a hold of a set of r90s and i will be fitting them soon as i get them then the remap is on the cards so i will have a look in to this for sure

I have the MTH 'BIG ONE' map on my ONE and it's been rollered at 137bhp :Whistle: It runs a playmini cat back exhaust and a K & N cone filter. Starts to stir at over 3000 but turns into Mr.Hyde above 4000.....love it.....(shhhhh....you can get 90mph in third....but you never heard that from me tho)
