Great build cant wait to see this finshed! so many great idea's !

ok time for the dreaded update.

ive decided for many reasons to go for a honda engine conversion.

reasons are the cost in building an a series and also the upkeep.

When im finished the plan has always been to go to the nurburgring for a good couple of weeks to a month and abuse the and being honda it should be a lot more reliable.

so the plan is

b18c4 engine
allspeed conversion
ITBs
Nitrous oxide

and a lot of abuse.

so i guess im not really a turbo mini owner anymore.

any pictures? and isnt that engine from the integra type r? a friend of mine has one in his eg civic with skunk cam's inlet and 72mm drag throtel body it goes like shit

Hi no pictures as yet, still trying to scrape the money together for the kit.

The one I'm going for is from an civic vti so not quite as much power as a type r still hoping for 200bhp.

Sorry the buscuits have already been sold on eBay, got a really good price for them too.

B18C4 is from the MB6 civic saloon, it's a really great engine to use in a mini, as it has a slightly taller final drive as standard (being from the more family orientated saloon model), and an LSD.

I think they're 180bhp standard, the B18C6 is the type R engine from the DC2 ITR.

I drove a clubby around combe a few years ago with a B18C4, and it's one of the most impressive engines I've ever driven, incredible acceleration, but much more refined and versatile than the C20XE minis I've driven. You could cruise around the paddock in 1st like it was a 998!

Mr. Prawn, the friendly Crustacean- slowly making steps towards forced induction.

just read through the entire build up to yet pal and have to say what a awsome build it is keep up the amazing work

Thanks buddy.

I will have to get an update soon. After selling all the turbo bit I have now got an allspeed frame and I've been doing loads of final welding to het the shell ready to put the engine in.

Its a shame not to go with an A series, but I can understand the theory with a Honda lump. Keep the good work up Andy.

weeeel, any was in tesco last night when he should have been doing mini stuff

In all fairness to Andy, he was problably stocking up on teabags & biscuits ready for the rebuild....................

haha i didnt see you Joe, i must have had the ball and chain on if i was in tesco.

cheers for popping that box over the other week jason, its all welded in the car now, looks much better than the one i had "modified"


Im cracking on well with the car, ive been going round the car doing al the little bits of welding that needed finishing off. I am also picking up a new steel roof skin courtesy of minispares VAT free day this weekend and JoeC has kindly lent me his spot welder to put it on with.

I have also got my Allspeed honda frame now so i am starting to build that up sowly.

No Probs,

yeah i was putting shopping in the fiat just by you when you pulled in, you obviously dint recognise the fiat because its shiny now LOL

NO WAY surely the fiat hasnt been washed and polished?

i definately wouldnt have noticed it!

just had a thought joe do you need anything from minispares, im going saturday and they have a VAT free day if you didnt already know.

Hum! theres a good point.

I guess I could do with some gaskets shortly, and some bearings,

Can I scrounge a lift with you? I could end up with a bit of a list LOL

Andy, glad to see your cracking on
what happended to the carbon roof?
