i dont doubt its a reliable motor, or the fact that it is someone quick in a mini. but seriously its not that great of a motor.
Since when is TQ the only measure of a motor? There is REASON why that B16B is in that car if you know why it was built. P72 block (same as GSR, ITR), that car will spend 90% of it's life at 80%+ throttle plus on the road courses. For what that car is designed for - it's the perfect combiation. 2g authentic Mini coppers weighs nothing - anything less than 2300lbs and TQ is damn near negligent after the lauch (road course car, remember - not drag). Not to mention - B16B - factory LSD. This guy did not just "stumble" on the B16B - it was a calculated build.
