[minicity1275]

Hi,
I am looking to get more power out of my mini with a budget of £750.
My mini is fitted with a M.G metro 1275 which has a 276 cam hif44 carb,1.5 roller tip rockers,larger valves,raised compression, LCB manifold and exhaust.
Can anybody help?

with that spec (if it has been built properly) you should be seeing 80-85bhp, how much power do you need? i would think thats plenty of power for a fast road mini, you say larger valves........larger than what? MG metro ones? i guess you could put a pair of HS4's on it to release more power but the key to an A series's power is a well built and flowed cylinder head, there is no point in slapping bigger valves in a head that still has standard ports!

As this is in the forced induction section, I presume that you are really asking if £750 will be enough to get your car a turbo.

I can answer that in one word, no.

You'll need double that to do it really. I managed it on £1k, but I already had parts hanging around to use.
