While taking to the track in any car is a risk, finding a car that compliments your driving style and one you can have fun in is important. Which is why we are taking a look at this customers journey to get his R53 Cooper S not only track ready but race ready!
The 2018 and 2019 race seasons haven’t all been smooth sailing. This customer had been experiencing some serious faults that left him with a race MINI that wouldn’t start. Despite trying to fix his plague of issues, no progress had been made, and he was on the brink of giving up completely. However, not being one to throw the towel in, he made a visit to us.
Our initial diagnostics and investigations revealed that this R53 had major problems with its electrical circuit, however, the main issue was that the ECU was faulty. Knowing this would need replacing and after speaking with our sales team, Paul chose to get our R53 Engine Tuning Package fitted. This Package includes a Link Plug and Play ECU, a Bosch Wideband Lamba, a Lohen High Flow Fuel Pump and a set of Lohen High Flow Injectors. These, along with a new wiring harness and the relocation of various electrical parts will have helped put an end to all the electrical issues which have so far plagued this customer’s racing season.
While this package will help rectify the issues that stopped this customer and his R53 performing at their best, the new Link ECU also requires a bespoke Lohen tune, which is carried out in house at Lohen HQ over 2 days on our 4WD dyno, so we can ensure we get every ounce of power from the engine. After getting this new package as well as a new Camshaft, this customer’s MINI was put on the dyno where it made 242 bhp and 265 Nm of Torque.
A full spec list of this customer’s chosen upgrades are listed below – if you are interested in getting any or simply want some more information then hit the product links which will take you to our website or you can contact our sales on sales@lohen.co.uk or 01785 859999.
