MY 1380T BUILD
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi guys, this will be quite interesting for me because its my 1st turbo mini build. i just picked up a rebuilt 1380 block which was the decider on engine size. i was going to use my recently dismantled metro 1275 but couldn't refuse a bargain haha. i had a morespeed booster head, inlet/outlet manifolds, t3 turbo, plenum and recond turbo carb all gathered for the build but am considering floggin the t3 in favour of a gt17 but i'll have to see how funds go. i'll have to get a set of pistons now which will possibly be cast omega's or powermax and i'm hoping to get a phase2 avonbar cam to get me started on sorting the block.
but anyways here's some pic's to start:)

1380 block (needs converting to 11 stud)


head top & bottom



conrods to be used


the 1st pic is the crank fitted to the 1380 but i hope to replace it with the cam 6232 crank thats fitted to the 1275 in the 2nd pic
