New mini clubman

[Mini1983]

Hi guys

I always loved the look of the clubman so I managed to get one a 66 plate grey one as soon as I test drove it was brilliant. Coming from a background of ford company cars.
I had a skyline r32 in my youth and do you know what I feel the same excitement!

I’m in Carluke and I got a 2l dielsel clubman well happy.

Welcome to NMS. Really like a clubman. Hopefully see you at an event soon

[EcosseGP]

Welcome along. Be interested in hearing how you find it. Is it the SD ?

Thanks guys.
Can’t figure out the engine. 2l 3 cylander 2turbos?
150 boho is great my mate has a garage and re maps very tempted!!

All only single turbo although called Twin power ,3 cylinder 1.5

Sorry to sound dumb how does that work?

Hello and Clubman is a good choice. I have had my Cooper S with 8 speed sport+ auto box for more than two years now.

I lifted this from BMW about the twin scroll turbo. Happy reading.

Twin-scroll turbo system design addresses many of the shortcomings of single-scroll turbo systems by separating those cylinders whose exhaust gas pulses interfere with each other. Similar in concept to pairing cylinders on race headers for normally aspirated engines, twin-scroll design pairs cylinders to one side of the turbine inlet such that the kinetic energy from the exhaust gases is recovered more efficiently by the turbine. For example, if a four-cylinder engine’s firing sequence is 1-3-4-2, cylinder 1 is ending its expansion stroke and opening its exhaust valves while cylinder 2 still has its exhaust valves open (while in its overlap period, where both the intake and exhaust valves are partially open at the same time). In a single-scroll or undivided manifold, the exhaust gas pressure pulse from cylinder 1 is therefore going to interfere with cylinder 2’s ability to expel its exhaust gases, rather than delivering it undisturbed to the turbo’s turbine the way a twin-scroll system allows.
The result of the superior scavenging effect from a twin-scroll design is better pressure distribution in the exhaust ports and more efficient delivery of exhaust gas energy to the turbocharger’s turbine. This in turn allows greater valve overlap, resulting in an improved quality and quantity of the air charge entering each cylinder. In fact, with more valve overlap, the scavenging effect of the exhaust flow can literally draw more air in on the intake side while drawing out the last of the low-pressure exhaust gases, helping pack each cylinder with a denser and purer air charge. And as we all know, a denser and purer air charge means stronger combustion and more power, and more power is good!
But the benefits of twin-scroll design don’t end there. With its greater volumetric efficiency and stronger scavenging effect, higher ignition delay can be used, which helps keep peak temperature in the cylinders down. Since cooler cylinder temperatures and lower exhaust gas temperatures allows for a leaner air/fuel ratio, twin-scroll turbo design has been shown to increase turbine efficiency by 7-8 percent and result in fuel efficiency improvements as high as 5 percent.
