Turbo Charging an SPI
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and well impressed with the amount of knowledge people have. I don't know if this is a how long is a piece of string question.

I have recently bought a box standard import Japanese 94 SPI.

I currently have just a grand to spend on it.

1. Is there anyway could add a turbo for this small amount?

2. I have a low mileage Smart Brabus Roadster sitting doing nothing.

Has anyone ever used a turbo and charge cooler from one of these in a min.

3. am I better going down the HIFF44 carb conversion.

4. If you had only a grand and a box standard SPI, what mods would you make?

Cheers folks, who'd the forum expert on turbo charging? Who's the forum expert on AP2 transmissions? I have a gimp leg so restricted to auto tranny.

It would be good if folks could give me some ideas advice.

Boris is mental


Cheers folks

Rondon

I think Mr Calver did a piece on 'A' series auto tranniies in the dim and distant past, they dont like torque. I have Gout ( too much whiskey, curry and chilli con carne ) so can understand and sympathise with your problem. solution- Manual Tranny, lots of pain killers, Lowered torque dreams, an RTS clutch, (loads of info on here in search) or, heaven forbid baseball cap - back to front of course, DSG Golf GTi and silly grin while thinking you actually have a chance of getting away from that innocent looking little Mini which seems to keep making farting noises when changing gear
