More power, stronger acceleration or a purpose-built MINI for road and track: a worthwhile performance upgrade must suit both the vehicle and your goal. We therefore match the software and hardware to the model generation, engine, technical condition and any existing modifications.

Performance upgrades as a coordinated overall package

Miniparts24 does not offer a fixed package that is fitted regardless of the vehicle. We plan the modifications around your MINI and make sure that the engine, cooling system, drivetrain, suspension and brakes are suitable for the intended performance level.

• Software: The engine software is matched to the engine type, factory specification and the components already fitted or planned.
• Intake and cooling: Depending on the model and intended result, the intake system, intercooler, airflow and other cooling components can be upgraded.
• Forced induction and exhaust system: Possible modifications include the turbocharger, supercharger pulley, exhaust system and downpipe, provided they are technically suitable for the intended vehicle concept.
• Ignition and supporting components: Spark plugs and other components exposed to increased loads are checked and, if necessary, selected to suit the performance upgrade.
• Suspension and brakes: For more extensive builds, we also include the suspension, wheel alignment and braking system in the planning.

From chiptuning to a complete vehicle build

We offer performance upgrades for combustion-engine MINIs from every generation. The work can range from standalone chiptuning to an extensively modified vehicle with upgraded cooling, intake, forced induction, exhaust, suspension and brakes.

For the R52 Cooper S and R53, a supercharger pulley replacement is one possible upgrade. More powerful MINIs or vehicles intended for track use may also benefit from a larger braking system. We determine the right combination based on the vehicle and its intended use.

Technical preparation before a performance upgrade

Before selecting components or adjusting the software, we check the relevant vehicle data and the technical condition of your MINI. Any existing modifications must also be taken into account.

• Vehicle and engine: Model generation, engine specification, factory configuration, mileage and existing modifications form the basis of the planning.
• Diagnostics: The fault memory and any unusual vehicle readings are checked so that existing problems are not concealed by a performance upgrade.
• Components under additional load: Depending on the concept, we inspect areas including the ignition, cooling, intake, forced-induction system and drivetrain.
• Suspension and braking system: For larger builds, we check whether the suspension and brakes are suitable for the intended power level and use.

If components are worn, damaged or unsuitable for the planned conversion, we discuss the necessary work with you first. Additional repairs and parts are not automatically included in the performance upgrade and are only carried out after consultation.

Power, costs and road approval

The achievable power increase depends on the engine, its technical condition, the fitted hardware and the extent of the modifications. We use proven calibrations with which we have practical experience and do not pursue the highest possible figures without considering the additional load on the vehicle.

Because software-only chiptuning, a single component upgrade and a complete vehicle build involve very different levels of work, we do not state a fixed price on this page. Once we have checked the vehicle details and your requirements, we can assess the appropriate scope and expected costs more accurately.

Whether an inspection, approval or registration is required and possible depends on the components used and the individual vehicle configuration. If approval is required, this must be discussed with us before the work begins. Approval is not automatically included with every modification.

Request a performance upgrade for your MINI

Please include the complete vehicle identification number, mileage, existing modifications and your intended goal in the appointment request. It is also helpful to tell us whether the MINI will mainly be used as a daily driver, for spirited road driving or on the track. This allows us to assess which modifications work together technically.

For software-only chiptuning, you should normally allow one full workshop day. The time required for more extensive hardware upgrades depends on the selected components, the condition of the vehicle and any additional work.
