Specialist Components 16 Valve A-series 1380cc Mini

[thesupahfly]

im seriously considering this conversion for my car, this or the promotive one bacause i dont want to modify the shell, was gonna go promotive but i think that the car engine would withstand my style of driving better than the bike engine would! i know you can turbo charge this conversion but can you supercharge it? i dont want any turbo lag and i would preffer a power band like that of a supercharged engine

[thesupahfly]

@thesupahfly of course looking into this kit more now i think the full race/sprint head with 160bhp+ will suit my application very well :)

what in the world possessed you to build this in a k reg car ,i am thinking catalytic converter here ,to keep it legal ,you could quite easly used a h or j reg car and you wouldnt of had to worry about the cat crap for the MOT

[SargentBlah]

This car looks like a little shoe-box with wheels. Never seen a car that lacks any design.  Very odd design (or lack thereof) indeed.

@SargentBlah What do you drive?

[britishminifan2991]

[minis1510]

[jamiewalkerowen]

@minis1510 Course you have mate. you're also 15!1

[RicardoR5]

@minis1510 you made a typo, you wrote 247hp instead of 47...

[nicholasspeke]

@minis1510 what engine u got in it then matey :D

[TheLiarlion]

@nicholasspeke he's got matt woods A+ turbo, swapped it for some shiny pokemon cards.

[burton76]

120hp? really? whats the point in going through all that?

[RsRocket31]

@burton76

have you been in a mini with decent power?

ive been in 75 fwhp and that thing is so so fun.

[burton76]

@RsRocket31 yeah, i have a 76 mini 1000 with a 1275cc engine which puts out 63hp at the wheels and it is excellent fun. I would just hope for more power out of a conversion like that?

[RsRocket31]

@burton76

yeah i suppose your right, you know how much the twincam head costs =/

not worth the power increase..

[burton76]

@RsRocket31 exactly. a good friend of mine put a metro turbo engine in his mini. the engine cost £300. he added an intercooler and 8-10psi of boost and he got 120bhp from that. although, he later got 180bhp with more fettling, which was fun! lol

[RsRocket31]

@burton76

theres not much that would win in a race vsing a mini with 180 horsies LOL

[willbishop123]

[craigm4ximus]
