Well, here you go. Have a look, ask questions, slag it off / tell me it's ace.

Basic Features:

Deseamed 1972 clubby
1293
forged omega 18cc
std a+ rods
wedged n/c crank
big valves, 23cc chambers
7.9:1 compression
weird wet plenum setup (no siamese code and 100000000cc injectors)
Triger belt timing gear
LSD
SCCR box
Big cv joints, big driveshafts (got them of some bloke on ebay...)
As yet untested clutch/cover (already got bits to make RTS one... just in case)
Coilovers
Adjustable suspension bits
4 pots
funky disks
Brake bias adjuster
MS ECU
Water injection (on the way...)
boost (lots)
Traction control (later in the year)

The pictures are in no particular order..

Isn't the cr a bit low?

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

Not really, it's going to be running a lot of boost. Plus it's easy to go higher by skimming the block, and not so easy to go lower.

seriously low compression, lots of boost, AND water injection?

Why don't you throw an intercooler in there as well? *happy*

I think you need to re assess the plans for the engine, or, are you secretly looking to break the 300hp

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

It does also have an intercooler. I've not set an upper limit on hp. It will make whatever it can before exploding eventually!

End of the month hopefully. Not sure about totally finished, but drivable. It really depends on any snags that come out of the woodwork.

I haven't looked at every photo, but here is a reasonably complete one, interesting indeed. Very neat.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol

That is interesting.

Also you've got the same rad and intercooler as Wintersurfer.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Interesting.....

I found the photo I wanted,


Are all four for fuel ??? (you mentioned water injection too).

Fabrication is extremely neat (much better than I've done).

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

King Gaycharger, butt plug dealer, Sheldon Cooper and a BAC but generally a niceish fella if you dont mind a northerner

Rotherham, South Yorkshire

So what turbo is this?



It's not a GT17 as it's got the GT20 style exhaust housing, but it's not a GT20 as it's water cooled...

Fabrication all looks good and tidy.

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

All four of those are fuel. Water injection has been delivered to a friends office in the US where it's about half the price, he's over in a few weeks, so I'll have to fit it then.

That one is a T25, one of a pair from a mental 2.5ltr jap thing someone had. Can't remember the exact trim / a/r .. should be ok flow up to the higher 200's, it will probably be swapped out for a GT28R later in the year once I start tweeking the boost more seriously.
