I think that can be described as "worryingly fast"...

[craigr91]

Well most of the turbo parts are easily transferred to a 1275 so I could always upgrade to one of them and bore that out if I ever need more power?

[mini13]

yes! basically everything will bolt off a 998 and onto a 1275,

[craigr91]

Sorted then 998 turbo, when/if bored upgrade to 1293 better start getting parts ordered

[craigr91]

Another question (sorry if your bored if me but I'm getting the hangish of it I think), would it be beneficial to run a mega jolt/squirt or leave it out of it?

Thank you again

Definitely beneficial to run a megajolt, stick one on your list!

 

Don't forget to add clutch upgrades too.

quick question regarding manifolds, im guessing bulk head box will 100% be needed considering how impossible its become to get a mirage manifold right?

[craigr91]

Ah yes the clutch, completely bypassed my memory :)

And I'm sure mirage is still making manifold over on turbo minis still :)

I belive mirage is still making manifolds, also matty on turbominis makes them

[craigr91]

Yeah I've intouch with Matty about a manifold for the gt17, and hopefully won't be too long before he's making another batch, not as though I'm in a rush for it though :)

Is it a metro turbo cam or jut a 1275 cam I'll be after? Bye changing to a 1293 turbo after grabbing an engine :)

[BritishRacingGreen]

You'll want an N/A MG Metro cam, the one from the MG Metro 1275s. Normally come up for around £40 on ebay. Well proven on both 998 and 1275 turbo engines.

[craigr91]

Thank you sir :) just a turbo metro cam came up on here so better clear it up :)

Thank you again
