1293 Turbo neon - Rebuild Pt2
Turbo Mini Forums

Idler needle roller bearing!

No idea on that one. Pretty sure i have a puller that will do it.

Have a search, there is a how to. I usually drill two small holes behind the outer race of the bearing and drift it out, then put some grub screws in the holes.

Well i ended up welding a nut to it and making a makeshift slide hammer, job done!.

Subframe is now painted along with the upper arms and hubs. Girlfriend does come in handy sometimes!

girlfriend! you know the ruels PICTURES

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

There is a picture of her Paul.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

She is not taller than the subframe! haha

Dirty gearbox!



Bit of cleaning and its ready for paint. Finished up the upper arms and hubs too.

Does anyone know what NM the camshaft nut should be tightened to? Or is tight and then loctabbed enough?

80-90 nm

60-70 ft lb

Thanks Joe.

Got the gearbox painted tonight along with a few other subframe parts. Should have the subframe back together this weekend and maybe the entire engine

Pretty scared i have missed something though.

Don't forget the little rubber o ring, between the gear box and block !

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Thanks i will note that!

Fitted my new ball joints last night and lapped them in. How "tight" should they be in the cup? i have to move them with some force or should it be smooth and easy?

Tight is good. Just before they feel like they bind.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

I have the nut tightened by hand and they bind at the moment so i guess i need more shims?

They would lock up i bet when i tighten the nut down as they are now.

Yup. They should be pretty sloppy when finger tight.

Ok Cheers mate.

At the moment i have what was a stage one kit RC40 from minispares, pretty sure its 1.75" will this be alright?

Dont really want to be buying another exhaust just yet.

"Fitted my new ball joints last night and lapped them in. "

thats today's new knowledge for me.
never thought of lapping them in makes sense tho!

Also got some 10mm microbore from B&Q run for the fuel in and return, that stuffs impossible not to kink! Only slightly though.

Buy yourself a pipe bender makes the job so much easier.

What the mind can conceive the mini can achieve
MITP 2012 17.01 seconds 1/4 mile against "The Don"
MITP 2013 16.83 seconds 1/4 mile

Wish i did now, i will have to see if i get any fuel problems.

Mocked up the turbo and manifold last night just to check clearance of the block and all is good!



Subframe completed



and my dog in a balaclava....

I'd be tempted to clock the housing a little more on the compressor snail to give you a bit nor clearance. Looks a nice housing with the high outlet.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

It is able to touch the manifold so i do have a fair bit of movement if i need it.

Where can i get a oil drain for the back of the block without paying around £20+ for a billet one? that i will never see.

Need to get a oil feed pipe if anyone has one for sale or knows a decent place that makes them up?

Just make one up mate, use a old blanking plate.

Carlton hydraulics in rotherham for the oil feed
