Turbo Mini Forums

Here is the screen shot of what I finished today.
Now I know what wire goes where if I have so troubles with the electonics... I also plannet to print cable stickers so i can mark the cables with same names as the table. Then I think its PRO...

wow great build man love the paint job and the engine looks the dogs

keep up the good work mate nice one rob.

Here is some more pictures of the tube project. Everything seems to fit nicely now when I removed fan and moved radiator a bit. Next I have make aluminium brackets for the rad.

Some progress here. I got all the tubings fitted and new brackets for coolers. It seems that everything sits under the bonnet nicely 8-)

well done very clean and tidy

That is well set out mate.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

At last I got the mini out.
Next weekend there is mini meeting so it will be 400km drive. Any ideas what I should check before this run?

1293 Turbo mini

Summers is gone here in finland and suprisingly it went quite well with the mini. Next update will be FIA approved roll gage...

And after that there is some minor sheet metal work with this.... Sorry guys it's not mini...

what a great mini top class work all round looks amazing hope mine goes this well. and the camper couldnt get a better second project unless it was another mini of corse

Done now needs redoing lol

Impressive work, props for the engine bay.

There ain't no milling machine like the one at home !!!

Dont be shy, am sure most of us on here would like to see the rebuild on the split

rick

nice split project you've got yourself, some minor panelwork is an understatement i believe...

Yes there is a lot of panelwork, for example whole floor and floor rails, doors, bottom side panels... must be renewed. And of course there is no engine or steering wheel... In fact this car has layed in the forrest since 1982 and now stupid me saved this 50 years old bus.

Here is picture of where it was forgot...

Not much done for Mini exept the breather oil reservoir. There is two 19mm hoses from timing cover and gearbox and one 12mm hose from valve cover. Next operation is that I'll move the air filter to front below the water intercooler... Then I can move the window wiper back to original place to right side.

I like it, it looks great

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Last weekend we got finnish mini club dyno day here is video of slipping clutch...

http://youtu.be/YaZMvI8gT3M

What clutch are you using? Time for RTS?

In the 13's at last!.. Just

I'm using AP racing Road/Rally plate with grey diaphragm. I think that the reason for clutch slip is polished flywheel and backblate surfaces. This is because I used sintered plate and by then the clutch get a bit warm...

btw. despite the clutch it produced 172hp/233Nm corrected engine power so I'm pleased with that. And the labda was between 11-12.5 trough whole area.

Very nice. What boost was that at?

In the 13's at last!.. Just

0.8bar was boost, but it hardly reach that because the throttle must lift up to prevent clutch slip...

im a bit of an air cooled fan mate
looked sweet with the moss on it haha
2332cc turbo charged sleeper?

ive got a baja XD plan is to 2332cc it some day
