Hi Guys,

For sale is my 1275 engine that i bought off of a forum member (Kappa) less than a month ago, had it sitting in my workshop and to be honest had quite a turn of events in my life and currently in need of some money so i need to sell the engine. Plans were to fit it into my car but obviously won't be happening now. Going to copy over Kappa's actual description/spec as clearly he knew more about the engine he built but add on the bits he missed out

Basically the spec is:
1.5 roller tip rockers
Modified head with chambers opened up to 26cc to lower compression (all work done by TurboPhil on the TurboMinis Forum)
New head gasket
New clutch plate and pressure plate
4 Pin Diff (minispares xpin)
Straight cut drop gears by Swiftune
Mirage manifold
Hybrid GT15/T2 turbo with 360 degrees thrust bearing
HIF44 Turbo carb
Turbo Plenum with side pipe welded on for dumpvalve
Metro Turbo Pistons and Crank
New big end's and small end's
New conrod and head bolts
New oil pump
Intercooler
Dump Valve
Trigger wheel fitted for future Megajolt mod

From what i can tell, all that needed doing to finish the engine off and get it running was some oil, hoses for the pipe and radiator

There is a slight bend in the turbo downpipe housing but this has no affect what so ever on fitting and performance! the downpipe i received is pretty much battered and finished, but kept so i could use to mock up a new 1.

Piss - I had the money for this when Kappa was selling but you bought it just before I had a chance, now I've spent all of the cash!
