Dynoed the Mini for kicks today...pretty much what I expected.
169wtq
Mods: Alta 15% pulley, Milltek exhaust, Alta intake, and Alta intercooler. Total outlay approx $1500.
Generally Mini owners use 12% as their driveline loss number, so it's about 201hp at the crank. Now bad, considering per Al, his Dyno Dynamics dyno reads lower than any other type of dyno out there.
Actually, now I'm confused. I see when boost is 24 PSI, AF is about 9:1. When it's 19 PSI (at the 5500 RPM intersect) AF is about 10:1.
It never gets above 10.8:1 or so anywhere on the chart....but I don't get the relationship between boost/RPM/AF.....do you draw a vertical line from the RPM scale?
Is it because where boost is being measured (is it downstream of the throttle plate?) that it goes down with an increase in RPM????
