Looks like the charger will stick out of the front.
Apart from that its bloody AWESOME.
And it will go like F***!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rich 36]

Son is (for once)
Exhibiting restraint and idly wondering just how that lot can possibly allow a bonnet to fit.
And just how do you change plugs anyway?

Morspeed are very good, but if you are thinking about SC your Mini then get intouch with Vmaxscart. They were the forst people to SC a mini A series with the Eaton unit, and are having great results.

I understand you can get 140bhp from a standard engine, but I would at least rebuild it with an X pin diff too.

Thanks but not a serious query,
Well only in as much as just how do you physically drop a lump ans SC into a mini,
Yes it would stick out front like a demented blower bentley, but what shape would its bonnet be, for example, those cams alone make it too tall

Looks like a nice lump. Can someone explain something for me though please.. Thats an 'A' Series block and what head? K series??

P,

That engine looks lovely.

I'm not sure how you'd fit the thing in either, maybe if you cant the entire block over instead of having it upright as in the standard installation you could squeeze it all convincingly under the bonnet?

I was always under the impression the K head would fit under a normal bonnet, though looking at that a single skin GRP jobby might be needed.

No way that SC would fit in though!

P,

It is a K series head, but possibly not the K series you are thinking of. It's from a BMW K1 bike engine. A fairly popular conversion as the bore centers are the same and many of the head studs and coolant passages line up quite well.

Those Cams fit under a standard profile bonnet and hence that is the beauty of the K1200RS BMW bike head conversion.

A BMW Blower will fit a 5-port Mini under a standard bonnet profile also - both of these are serious ways to power sleeper Minis.

Thanks surprising,

I suppose it only begs the question,
Who on here has done such a thing,
Succesfully,
Also what else needs approriate adjustment,

Flywheel/brakes/suspension & trousers to cope with output.

Its becoming very common, have a look at www.minifinity.com I will have my engine ready soon, just a 1393 with SW5 and a 5 port head, should kick out about 150BHP

I think it would fit in my clubman. So if any one wants to lend my it for a year or two (to run it in). Has any one tryed a 16V turbo?

Ahh yes, thanks.. I remember reading about folks doing this kind of conversion years ago, but didnt think it was popular, never mind still being done today! Impressive..
