Hi Guys and Girls. any updates on your minis???? Mine got put on hold for a while but im back on it with the purchase of a new engine. just need a bit more money and alot of time and ill be off!!

[psmini]

My spi engine has been fully rebuilt.  It was rebored to 1293cc, kent 274 cam and a stage 4 head.  Goes a little better now

[MarkyRich]

Sounds nice.....I got a full standard turbo engine to sell which will give me some more cash to buy the extra bits i am going to need to get mine going alot better. Still only a wee 998 at the mo....

[psmini]

You can get some good power out of the 998's.  Not tempted to go with the turbo?

[MarkyRich]

I brought a really good turbo engine fully rebuilt benross head upgraded pistons etc so thats whats going in it. Still got a few bits to get still though like magajolt, mpi fuel tank, clutch, intercooler the list goes on.

*Update*

 

998 engine is out and sold. New engine just needs the x-pin diff, clutch and flywheel fitting and it can be put in. Fingers crossed i can get the help soon..
