Project sell up - 998 turbo
Turbo Mini Forums

Due to work commitments, I’ve regrettably decided to sell my 998 turbo project. I had it running on the road briefly naturally aspirated for about 100 miles but just haven’t got the time available that I want to put into it. However, the following parts are not fitted or i’ve removed already:

998 fully stripped and rebuilt engine: This can come complete with benross 12G940 head or without. Has only covered 100 miles since rebuild.
- 998 Morspeed A+ block, bored +30 and pocketed for 12G940 head
- Powermax pistons possibly (couldn’t find any numbers on them which gave me any relevant information)
- Wedged and cross drilled crank
- MG metro cam and new followers
- New waterpump, smaller pulley to clear head (100 miles from new)
- Metro turbo oil pump modified to suit and extra fixing hole drilled and tapped in block (100 miles from new)
- New mains +10, Big ends +10 (100 miles from new)
- Verto performance clutch cover C-AEG485, performance clutch plate C-AHT596 (100 miles from new)
- Duplex chain and rota slide steel gear set (100 miles from new)
- Clutch arm, slave cylinder and braided hose (100 miles from new)
- Gearbox stripped, rebuilt using genuine rover baulk rings, new roller double bearing, central oil pickup (100 miles from new)
- Minispares x-pin diff (100 miles from new)
- 3.44 CWP
- 1275 timing cover to utilise breather and flywheel breather added as tappet chest breather removed
- All gaskets replaced

There is probably more, but that’s what I can remember off of the top of my head, endless receipts for all the parts bought. If enough interest in individual parts I will consider splitting. I’m unsure on what to value this? It’s ran with no issues n/a for 100 miles. Pulled fairly well considering it was built with the intention of turbo use and 8.5:1 compression ratio.

Hey,
I've sent a PM but unsure if you got it so I'll ask here as well:
1. Acewell digital dash - I'll have that.
2. Green cotton cone filter – What's the diameter?
3. Specialist components trigger wheel kit – I'll have it, if it includes the sensor as well.
And one more thing I forgot about already :)

Thanks.

Pmd about the linkage kit and wideband

Possibly interested in wheels, may we have some pics of those? Whats width?

AND calling first dibs on the cage! A price for rolling shell too as a friend would be interested

Pm'd

I would like the filter setup only please but would need posting.

All PM's replied to.

DAVE i'll get some photo's up of the wheels shortly, there 10 x 7's. I haven't removed or thought of a price for the cage or shell yet, so if you could bare with me on those ones.

Jonny, is that the air filter setup? If so, someone has messaged before you wanting those, however ill let you know if that changes.

Got to love those wheels!

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

I agree graham, different to the usual and a good colour combination!
