could be 4 valves per cam

[JetBLICK]

nar, you can get twin cam 8 valvers, 4 valves on each cam.... but given that the title of the topic, and the description of the video says 16v...well, leaves me a little confused, either sprocket is being silly or him and therefore 'engine tuner' too, know something we don't

Squeal my pretty, squeal!

Ok folks, who has hidden my cheque book!

[The Matt]

Well, it's all very nice, but how much would it cost for a built up one?

Could be a K100 head (the 8v DOHC engine IIRC) I wouldn't know the difference meself!

[who_loves_the_mini?]

price quoted on minifinity was £9000 and something, a lot of money but an awesome engine

[Purtsi]

Are there any power graphs available about these K-conversions (k100 and k1100), preferably 1275cc or bigger? I'd be interested to compare those with big bore A-series engines..

[minimad998]

coh thats a bit pricy but i suppose its well worth the money, very impressed

[Sprocket]

I'll put a tenner down that Mini Sprocket posts again on this topic!

Only to say that people should make thier own minds up, feel free to believe what you want, thats your decision. Each to their own

I think the power figure is of real world and DO NOT for one second doubt it!!!

i think you are on to something sprocket, i too see no engine brake, just a drive flange happily spinning away at the back and no sign of anything on the flywheel end either!! maybe they were jsut doing a basic map setup and the person in the video got confused!! maybe its a very new setup with some sort of trick gadget that only nasa has ever seen before!! tho im with you it does look like a k100!

So when is the 300 bhp turbo launched then?

8v and 9.6K??

3 times the cost of the SC build which is 16v......
