Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

The guy who helped sort the turbo side was saying 380 hp was seen running e85 beforehand. He's one on NZ'd top forced induction engine builders so has no reason to over state. Must be one of the highest A series based block outputs ?

This will be interesting to see if they break their 146mph record, but 175mph prediction I'm not so sure?

"The Mini would run a 970cc motor, with a turbocharger, and a twin cam BMW motorcycle engine head, with "tall" gears, meaning it would be capable of going nearly 100kmh in first gear"

970cc !!!!!!!

I wish them good luck, it's gong to be a great adventure.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
