Mk1 Turbo Racer, never ending project.
Turbo Mini Forums

Good work. Quick as usual.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Very nice sounding mini, very nice result for all your efforts. Enjoy it

What a weekend!

Saturday I set off to pod land and got there for 9 ish to meet Chris D. I got 3 runs in as the staff was on slow time, and looked like they could not give a fuck! The mk1s best time of the day was a 14.3 it seems like I have forgot how to drive it as it's been over two years! The day was over when it spat out a drive shaft so it was turbo drinking time!

These are not my pics found them on the other forum.






Today I was to f++ked to do anything down the lockup so I had a shed day, and made this!







Then I had a go at cooking on of there



But I ended up doing this as they would not move



Job done!



Then I found this the heat must of opened a crack.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Aw bab about the casing!

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

Pisser, but better finding out now...

Been thinking are you the first to snap a TI shaft? Has it gone at the circlip groove?

A couple of the racers that goes to my local rolling road, have a the shaft made thinner in the middle so it can twist a little and not snap at the groove but then they use some different material than TI.

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

Yes It's better finding it now not later. When I spend time on it.

No it was in the middle mate, mr Carl is looking in to it.

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

I have one more to play with but this is not the bit I was thinking I would fuck up so I just need to be spot on ( ie lucky ) with the next part of this.

I wouldn't worry about it, cut out the broken bit and stress relieve the ends of the crack so it won't propagate.

Damned iPads! Shot twice.

You're better off putting the whole thing in the oven to warm it evenly and stop distortion. I don't mind welding it up, if you get really stuck.

Oh yeah can you pm me your address again.

Well I had a little more play time in the cave today

You can see the shaft that was in the mk1 it looks like it worked it's self out and just twisted at the end



Next on the list was to play with my reserve cover I have, I used no heat this time just brut force and they popped out fine I had to turn a bung down to weld to for one of them.



Then this little bad boy turned up !


So I put it straight to work! It cuts through alloy easy! Just got to wait for some fine belts in the post


Then I set to on an oil pump, you can see on the edges where of the cover where the low spots are, I found this the last time and the cover cracked there, so I sat and sanded the cover down all flat



All got to go drilled for a 4 bolt fixing and all bolts swaped to Ti



Thanks simon.
