(1100) remote turbo setups - pics wanted!
Turbo Mini Forums

Ok Guy's....My buddy is wanting to put a small turbo on he's 1100 and would like to get some idea's and poss. some pic's of where would be a nice place to mount the turbo instead of doing the bulkhead cutout...Is it at all poss. you might share some pic's and idea's with us ??? We sure would appreciate it....

Oh and while were on the 1100 subject do any of you know where we can get a set of new old stock pistons 10 or 20 over...If that is not poss. then prehaps just a set of std. new old stock ring's.....

Thanks and Cheers...Willieeeeeeeeeeee...

There is a chap on here who has done a remote turbo in the US, goes by the name fortfun i believe. Do a search on it i think the posts were listed under rotary muffler.

As for pistons, any particular reason for wanting new old stock ones? Ebay has them occasionally but try the main mini shops as i am sure they will be able to help you.

These are the instalations that willie is talking about....

the compressor housing on the turbo thats in the red clubman looked big!?

i cant imagine that last install handles very well

Joeybaby83.....took me second very funny... When I had my 66 cooper I was considering a side install but no a box in the van is the way foward. Side install does look trick when you know the amount of work it takes.

Lots of interesting setups there......


Ahhh, if I ever get the time and money

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Thanks Guy's and " Turbo Dave " ....Thats just what I'm talking about.....This is good Stuff.....I think were on the right track now....What mm size turbo would ya think ????? 5 or 6 psi...Just to tickle er a bit....Don't want to race er or hurt er...Just a bit o fun with er..

Cheers.....Willieeeeeeeeeeeeee....

A quick glance at the compressor maps I have shows that the R5 GT T2 should work well. Suprisingly the GT15 looks wery inefficient at lower psi.

I just bought a 1300 thinking the same. After som careful investigation it seems as a bulkhead box is needed there as well. That means I need to find an Allegro now

Whats happening with that engine phil?

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

I am digging up all kinds of old threads.

This thread already had a good collection of remote setup pictures. Just wondering if anyone has any additional remote turbo setups they could add to this list -- detailed pictures would be most helpful.

shame, i like the idea of this as it looks so cool but none of them have servo's on which i want to use :(

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

Didn't Jonspeed or someone do a manifold that mounted it near the passenger side wiper motor, can't remember if that was where they put the carb ot the turbo though lol, but it meant no bulkhead mods.

that was the turbo technics suck through setup that placed the carb up by the wiper motor and didnt require any bulkhead mods. i was running that setup for a bit. worked quite well

Is it just me or are side mount exhaust manifolds always rotten looking?

I think Gary OS has taken over my role as the forum smart arse

for the most part it seems yes,
depends how anal you are i guess

I think the ones where the manifolds have been well fabricated and painted up ect look pretty good. certainly a conversion I would consider.
