1275 HP Improvements

[Dan_Bert]

Hi all,

With winter approaching I'm looking at ways to improve the straight line speed of my Mini 96 Sprite 1275.

I've done a fair amount of research and have started to make my way through David Vizards bible.
Come to the decision to aim for 80-90 BHP to keep reliability up. Just looking for some advise from any of you that have done the same improvements?

Looking for specifics: stage 1 kits, cylinder heads, camshafts, carbs that you found worked well, or even not so well.....

Thanks in advance.

96 Sprite is a Single Point Injection car or a Multi Point Injection? Been a while since I tinkered with classic minis built post 1990.

I ran mid 90s BHP on a carb cooper with an MG Metro Cam, 1.5:1 ratio roller tip rockers, LCB manifold, Stage 1 inlet manifold and a "fast Road" head from VMAX Scart. Stuart at VMAX set it up on his Dyno. It drove like a standard car and was fairly brisk with the metro final drive ratio in the gearbox.

Pretty sure its single point injection.

Why not just buy a SPi performance kit from Minispares, either this one or the cheaper version without the top-end rockers etc..

Thats what I was thinking for starters. That should take the Bhp up to around 60-65 though
