Chip tuning for Mini One 1.6d (mini) 90 hp ECU

Mini One (2010 - R56) 1.6d (mini) 90 hp — mass-market diesel engine of the passenger segment of the BMW Group (Mini, Rolls-Royce, BMW Motorrad) group (Германия, 1916). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 90 to 140 hp (+50 hp, +56%) and torque from 215 to 320 Nm (+105 Nm). ECU — Bosch EDC17C41. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. The 2010 generation — mid-generation diesels on the EDC17 platform with OBD reading support and no need for Bench.

JCW (John Cooper Works) is Mini's performance division. The Mini range comprises the Cooper, Countryman, Clubman and Aceman. Mini specialises in premium-level compact hatchbacks and crossovers. BMW diesels are known for high torque, and Stage 1 delivers an especially noticeable Nm gain.

On older and mid-generation BMWs, Stage 1 is flashed over OBD without Bench. The BMW community is renowned for active tuning and a large pool of available Stage files. Stage 1 on BMW usually stays within the standard timeframe, with no particular difficulty on the standard models. On low-output engines, Stage 1 is safe and does not over-stress the hardware. On naturally aspirated engines without a turbo, the main effect is on throttle response. In the city segment, Stage 1 is more about comfort than power.
