My Yellow turbo (NEW OWNER)
Turbo Mini Forums

looking good steve, hope alan treated you well,
il pop over at some point and have a look, need to pop over and see scott soon anyways

very interesting power curve there, it's almost dead flat from 4500rpm upwards, that's proper odd!

What's the map like? has it been tweaked much yet, or is it still fairly conservative?

I havnt got a clue, thats why i posted it here .
drove it 15 miles and all seems fine .
what could cause the turbo to lose boost ?
fuel and ignition is spot on from what i understand .

boost is at its highest at 6 ooo rpm ,so not a boost prob .

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

made this from the figs,

first off its a bit rich and gets richer as the RPM climbs, I'd say you want it in the low to mid 12's for AFR.

second off from the graph below, i'd say check the cam timing.

no worries,

yes, definatly better a little rich, it will be fine as it is, but it may drop a few horses,

another thought i had was, with the low CR this engine may not come into its own untill you get some more boost into it.

I havnt had a quick mini before but driving home i could see the potential!
give it 500 miles and an oil change and i,ll up the boost a bit more , nevous about the smoking though , any thoughts?

the smoking could just be cause its not run in yet.

get a few miles on it and see :)

Hope so, maybe i,ll pop over to you , your not too far away , you know one of my old work mates, john bartlett..lol

Been out in the beast today , its gone for a makeover !!
So took some pics so i can see how it is now .
As i had a little blast the long way round to the body shop it all seems fine execpt for the dam smoking !
When i arrive at the body shop i see both rear arches hanging off , they must have hit on the wheels , good job they was comming off anyway!

Tbh the the car looks so much better in the pics than it really is hense the makeover
Enjoy
