Hello from me and Delilah!
Turbo Mini Forums

Hello everyone, Phil here with my 1989 Mini Thirty, Delilah.





She's currently undergoing turbo conversion after 10 years of ownership, build spec is as follows:

- Metro Turbo donor engine
- Omega 18cc pistons + 1293cc bore
- Specialist Components forged rods
- AC Dodd RSFI camshaft
- Specialist Components EFI kit
- Minispares Evo gearkit, x-pin diff, KAD speedo pinion support

As of writing, I have just dropped the cylinder head on the block (which is currently being assembled in my living room), the turbo box has been let in to the bulkhead awaiting a welder friend to give me a hand stitching it up, and most of the suspension parts have been refurbed ready to go back on. Still got to rebuild the calipers and brake booster, fit the fuel tank and lines, complete the engine assembly and figure out where to mount all the ECU stuff. I might cobble together a build thread at some point but i need to finish first, plus I am notoriously bad at documenting my progress so maybe not

Welcome!

'Where does the engine go?'

Greetings sounds like a great project and I think we need a build thread
