No probs mate. You best turbo this motor :grin: what a car it would be for a few bits of simple fabrication. Oh, and If you dont turbo it, how do you think your gunna keep up with me :grin: :cheese:

LOL i'll find a way might need a huge laggy band and a greased up 1/4 mile

Right I need my beauty sleep i'll find away to get you off the line might have to change my name to dik dastdidly or mutly something like that THATS IT BIG ASS AFTER BURNER BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!! 1/4 MILE IN 4 secs MUHAHAHAHAHA

[Oldskoolbaby]

Me too:lol: Mine will have one of them every time I hit the rev limiter. :nugget: Seriously mate, I reckon you should turbo it. It would cretainly be cheaper than buyin a set of webers and give you MEGA POWER :grin:

[Pandora]

I think i will agree with you on that one, lookin forward to it. Well pics will come when i start it all.

[kada1980]

we may go injection as well for those winter starts

Does this mean you've seen the light :grin: seriously though you don't need to use all four thottle bodies if you didn't want to, they taper from 50mm down to 38mm :wink:

Ever thought of doing a super charger / turbo conversion to eliminate all that turbo lag, the way i see it get a knackered turbo, chop the turbines off leaving the compressor and weld a small pulley onto the turbine shaft, then on the engine weld the biggest pulley you can and hey prestos try and make it fit!!! You would need a valve in the system so that when the turbo's pressure becomes greater than the superchargers it would swap over.

Good luck

Pandora your mad... still will be so good.

[Pandora]

well the supercharger sounds good but i think i will stick with the turbo lol thanks for the idea tho. And yes jackman you are right but i think we all have to be a little mad these days plus ive never seen one in a road goin mini so :grin: heres to being crazy

Sure you don't want fuel injection :grin:


I've got some twin 45's on my westy there good for power but drivability is naf, i'm converting to fuel injection using a megasquirt ecu which will control the spark using a zetec coil pack and the fuel through some gsxr 750 throttle bodies. Megasquirt has just added a mod to there new ecu which will allow for turbo's water injection and loads of other goodies. If you fit a wide band sensor you will never need to rr the car its fully tuneable from inside via some cheapo laptop!!!

I have only just started the conversion so i'm new to it but the costs so far are

throttle bodies £45
ECU £190

This conversion i reckon will cost me less than i will sell the webers for people have done it for less than £500, i'm pretty sure it would be easier with the throttle bodies as they take up half the space of webers, the gsxr one come apart in to singles so you can respace them to suit the manifold.


Just some food for thought.....................

Ive never really thought how much bhp i'll be putting out i aint got a clue

[Pandora]

Looks as tho im going injection to :grin:

[Oldskoolbaby]

Desicions, desicions Injection sounds good. At least you wont have to worry about having a dud mixture.

[Pandora]

Yeh well lets see how much the insurance goes up it should be ok. Just have to find it all now haha

[Pandora]

I have news, had an email from Mbe race engines about the project and they are wanting to take it all on!! But i have to go and see how much this will be and have a chat. Updates when i get them.

[Oldskoolbaby]

Getting someone else to take it on will cost a small fortune :nugget: Great if youve got the cash though :grin:
