Non subaru owning newbie
Hi
joined up as i may be converting my camper to subaru power and as i know sod all about subarus then i am sure this is the place to go searching the database
i currently own a
1) pug 405 2.0 16v LPG daily driver and tow barge (want to change)
2) mini turbo with nitrous
3) veedubya camper 1.6 Devon conversion (totally original)
Mini is running 141.2 brake from its 1.3 on low boost and with no gas, i am currently having clutch probs and am on my 3rd in approx 600 miles, this last change has seen the boost rise to 16 psi and hold but still short of the engines estimated max of 22-24 psi, i have recently purchased a 16v head for the mini so once the clutch probs are overcome i will look into fitting this, website being done at present
mine and my friend emmas minis
the camper/subaru project

IIRC someone did something similar with the van before, have a look in the projects bit. Good luck with it, there's a huge appetite for progress pictures on here!
I bet that mini is mental!

Probably a Jack Knight straight cut dog box. Straight cut gears absorb far less power but they scream like a banshee! Dogs (dog rings as opposed to synchromesh rings) are like dirty women: the more you abuse them the happier they are.....

If I could fit in one I would do one of those plug and play Vtec conversions... awsome... just too 'well built' to fit in one. lol
