thnks

[Bungle]

just the turbo or the whole engine ?

[nath]

whole engine??
or whats the turbo worth??

[Bungle]

a meastro engine is more like a inline MG engine than a mini engine

the gear box sits on the end of the engine making it too wide

the engine can be converted to run a minis in the sump gear box but it's a lot of work, i think Guessworks has done the conversion

mastro turbo engine is an E or O series,

not a chance of getting it into a mini unless you build a chole new subframe to take it.

[me madjoe 90]

may be able to use turbo tho?

[Guess-Works.com]

Depends what it is, but at the maestro turbo is a 2 litre engine, unlikely...

The only parts that can sensibly be used are the carb, plenum, FPR and maybe fuel pump depending on fitment. The turbo has a 10psi actuator which goes straight on the Metro T3, but the turbo its self would be no use on a 1300cc.

have you the whole car, not against transplants, but surely nowadays a maestro turbo is a very rare beast?
