What did you do to your old engine? You've definately gotta come help with mine once we've figured out the problem!

[Adcuz]

It's the same engine in there now, just with a few more bits

[Timtom]

Now for us simple people. What have you added?

[Adcuz]

You obviously just skimmed through all the photos

- Stage 3 Head
- Double Valve Springs
- Straight Cut Drops
- Turbo Clutch
- X-Pin Evo Diff
- Kent 286MD Camshaft
- Adjustable Duplex Timing Chain
- Alloy Radiator from China
- Silicone water hoses
- New gaskets and fluids
- New discs + pads

So yeah, been a busy boy. Coming over the next month hopefully:

- Megajolt! or an Aldon Yellow dizzy.. my current dizzy is not at all suited to this cam

And far in the future:

- Install 998, sell car, keep engine
- Buy standard looking mini, put this engine in it.. SLEEPER!
- New crankshaft and cam bearings
- Rebore to 1380cc
- Weber 45

But that last list probably won't ever happen, depends on money situation.

If you go down the megajolt route, you can do it a lot cheaper than the kits avaiable. The cheapest place I've seen for ECU is direct from autosport labs.



I like your car, should go well at that spec aswell.

[Adcuz]

Cheers. I think I'll do what you have and go second hand for most of it.

Felllaaa :/ That sucks. Please say you're keeping the engine and getting another Mini though as you've said you'd do? :/

[Adcuz]

Shame your moving away from minis. But there does come a point where you move on.


If RWD try bmw, can't realy go far wrong.
