Is there anything wrong with these Power Plots??
Turbo Mini Forums

First is a stage 1 1275SPi





Second is a stage 1 998 HIF38 carb






Personaly the figures seem inflated, but what really gets me is how similar the two are from such different engines


Just curious thats all. Nothing is impossible i supose

funny how both cross over twice in the same places

lenaord... if the scales for torque in lbft and hp are the same they MUST cross...


bhp = (torquexrpm)/5252


You can't measure hp, only calculate it from torque.

92lbft on a stage 1 1275 cooper SPi??? 65lbft on a stage 1 998 carb??? Thats some going!!!!!

Edit, i supose the 65lbft on a late 998 isnt that far out

92FTlbs? is it standard spec?
Cant be right surely.

Whats the chance of a stage 1 998 producing 67bhp??

One thing i notice, there is no peak torque rpm. Is the operator hiding something?


The 998, the owner spent almost £150 for a tune up, he videod what looks like most of the runs, and every time the coast down was braked off

I supose this is one way of adding bhp at the flywheel by simply increasing the losses.

Either that or the road hasnt been calibrated in a while.

There is NO WAY a stage one 998 would have that much torque, or bhp. That's more torque than my turbo 998 has, and trust me NO stage one 998 would be anywhere as fast as my car.

They are bullshit, probably taken in 3rd gear. I say this as I've never had the max torque exceed the max bhp on a mild NA motor, infact even on a tasty NA motor.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph
