Re: mini

Looking good wolfie,is that a rst engine in it?A bloke up the road from me has spent about 10k on his one, he has used a modded 2.0 16v vauxhall engine,its supposed to be very quick,certainly sounds the part.

Re: mini

no mines the A series i am hoping to get well over 200 bhp out of it but it needs some more mods and that wont be happening till next year

Re: mini

looks mint mate. I'm not big on mini's but that one could change my mind

200 brake out of an A series. bloody hell I didn't think it could be done - you'd better get some re-inforced y fronts b4 you drive it then. but then what would I know.

good on yer

Re: mini

Holy shit mate, 200bhp should be keepin wid evo's and the like!! i was thinkin of a vauhall engine in mine, but i found a metro turbo, and a nitrous bottle. hmmm, i might try putting it all in the garage, shakin it, and seein wot comes out!! (then again i might have to sell it cos my bird just moved to durham an i'm in leicester!)
wot sorta specs it gonna run if u dont mind me askin? and wot turbo? is it an 8-port head? ooh baby i bet u wanna give it some lead boot- i would!

Re: mini

i wasent expecting this cheers chaps

when finished it will be hopfully over the 200 brake, there is already a mini in the uk with 201bhp from an A series

the engine in there at the moment is standard metro turbo this is going to be used for a few months just to get it roadworthy and bugs ironed out

i have spare block head crank ect and i am collecting parts i did have some forged pistons but found out they were not the exact ones i want so am looking for some with around 15cc dish (omega)
ive bought a cam from piper this is unique to the A series turbo as it has no or little overlap ( to technical for me ) im hopeing to run a steel crank and rods ( finances permitting ), ive been collecting a whole host of parts for some time now the standard metro turbo runs 4 psi i want to run 18 plus gas

Re: mini

Looks good Wolfie, what made you decide to use the A series engine ?

[Wolfie]

Re: mini

k series is to much work no-one makes a kit or any parts for it to fit and the vauxhall and v-tec only fit in clubman fronts

Re: mini
