K1100 16V Turbo build...now transmission build.
Turbo Mini Forums

Everyone knows that red engine are more powerful

Saying that, I think you've made the right choice Matty, It looks great and will work perfectly with your car.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

HAHA, Does anyone know which particualair Red is more Powerful?

1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.


Fibreglass Parts? - http://www.tdkracing.co.uk/
Split Rims? - http://www.force-racing.co.uk/

is that where I'm going wrong, mine is blue

Right got a bit more done! This stainless is a right PITA to work with...lol Everything that go's near it seems to magically go blunt.

I got the 4 flanges done...its not everyday you see 4 unused flanges all in a row like that...

The turbo flange just need the hole cutting.





Ive now milled an oil drain for the cam (cheers for the tip-off Matt)





Hopefully tomorrow it will all start looking more like an engine...im collecting my block so the final build can start..

When are you getting all your pipes welded?

Back once again like a renegade master

Fairly soon, now ive made the flanges the pipes sit really tightly in position so I can cut the cut-outs to make the collector.

Should hopefully be ready for welding in the next couple of weeks.

Thats what i like to hear.

BTW is it a low boost setup that youre going for?
Ive noticed all kheads use low boost. Is this because of the cc of the chamber?

Back once again like a renegade master

Im basically gonna run as much as possible probably around the 18PSI mark. The CR is going to be 8.3:1 ish with it being injection, ally head, and huge IC I can't see it being a problem.

As long as the bore size is kept to a reasonable size low CR's are easily achievable really.

When you say "all kheads use low boost" who's are you refering to, 'cause Jims is the only one I know of...lol and im sure that runs high boost?

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Yeah it seems to mille nicely, turn nicely but trying to drill it was realy difficult as the drill wouldn't go slow enough! No matter how slow you go things still seem to go blunt though...lol

Today I had a nice long chin wag with JonhK whilst collecting my block, top bloke couldn't be anymore helpful.

Ive started the final build now.

I thought i'd better check the exhaust manifold for bulkhead clearance, it needs a little trimming back...









Starting the look the part now! :)

Get a grinder to that cam cover!!!!!

Back once again like a renegade master

looking really good, how close is the exhaust manifold going to get to the bonnet?

David.

I'll probably end up taking the plug cover off (weight saving)

The manifold will be level with the cam cover when i finish trimming it down, Ive spent the last couple of hours re-positioning the turbo AGAIN and trimming the outer 2 pipes to fit. I seems to be spending hours cutting pipes and not getting very far! lol

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

1st pipe about 6 hours, second about 2, third about 3 and the last 2 days!
I guess with all the adapting, rethinking, making adapters, bungs, welding etc. I guess nearly a week was gone...I think for my 2nd manifold I will need about half the time....would make some things total different now...

Thats good going!

Well 10 hours, 2 hacksaw blades, 1 file, a few metal splinters 6 cans of beer later this is my progress....

Made half of the collector for the outer pipes.





finally it clears the bulkhead! 8)
