So, it looks like i'm gonna stick with my trusty island blue (as trusty as a classic mini can be) and get some serious performance out of that instead. After mulling it over, I think i'll stick with the A-series and opt for the forced induction route. Here is a short list of the spec:
Megajolt
Mirage manifold
T2 turbo
Fuel pressure regulator
Fuel return pipe welded onto fuel tank
X-pin diff
2 core radiator (or a cheapo Chinese alloy jobbie)
I've also got a few questions that i'd like some help with. They are
- Which clutch (i've currently got a verto clutch)
- What would be the best way to lower the compression ratio? Modify my cylinder head or change pistons?
- Will my facet fuel pump be man enough or do I need something different?
- Do I need a HIF44 turbo carb?
