Hi guys,

Just thought I would let you know that our car is booked in to Dastek for 210bhp conversion on 12th May.:D

So I guess that will be our car on rolling road soon.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh...

Am I the only one sitting here squinting my eyes.. bracing for the inevitable <POP!> and bits of Mini peppering the surrounding countryside?? :p:D:D:D:D

[KINGHORN]

paul at dastek wont actualy sell the whole kit at the moment as he wants to put a few thousand miles on it to prove reliability, and from what i have heard he has been driving it hard, realy hard.

I was expecting a big bang!

[KINGHORN]

its actualy only reving to 7000rpm, its the FMIC that gives it the mega whine

Why would anyone want to turn their MINI into a vespa scooter sound-a-like?

Have to agree with Kinghorn.

When we went out in the Dastek MINI with Paul it sounded great.:)

Can't wait till May 12th.:)

Surely someone must have a story of their car on the rolling road going bang??? Who would be liable??

Hi Guys,

I've seen a few comments on here now about dyno's & temperatures etc. Whilst some of it may be true for dyno operators that have not invested in the proper cooling for their dyno set up, I can assure that is not the case here at Dastek. We have done tests on many different cars with front mount or top mount intercoolers & the charge temperatures on the dyno will never be any more than about 2 degrees C different to what you would see on the road, coolant temp will remain the same as usually we overcool, but the thermostat regulates it & oil temp will typically be 5 - 10 degrees C lower.

I have included a couple links to pictures to show you our fans, the first photo is the fan being tested in the workshop (as we sell these to dyno operators, the anemometer is in Km/h) & the second is the sub fan for direct cooling of intercoolers etc.in this picture it is the small fan to the side of of ducting that is used for intercoolers. Both give a 100MPH wind speed at very high static pressure.

I hope that clears things up.

That really does sound superb , could almost close my eyes and imagine straight cut gears :)
If it sounds like that with a FMIC , I want one ...
Cheers for the info also Gerry.

I would just like to add we have used Dastek and have never been disappointed their service is first class and results were amazing

They smoothed out a diesel TD5 Discovery commercial gave it more bhp and more mpg.

This was not for our minis but would not hesitate if we were not already tunned to the max.

Whassa FMIC? Summat summat inter cooler?

[c_me_swim]

Front Mounted Intercooler

[Big Col]

Ah ok. Why does it sound like that?
