HOW DO I????????????
 

how the bllomin hell do i get some more vital bhp out of a mini 1275 gt engine, need some more grunt!!!!!

jasemac, dissapointed, no whellie, shame on you boy

Surely you must be able to find this out on the net? A-series tuning is hardly new-fangled, is it? IIRC you can bore out to 1440cc. Broadspeed used to be respected Mini tuners, or John Cooper Garages may be able to give you some advice.

Exhaust, induction, then head, and maybe cam, then rebore, and strong bottom end, then do what I did, give up and buy a rwady made quick car!!

Ron.

could do this ;)

Should give you about 340bhp :D

Throw away the 1275 lump n shoehorn in a Chevy or Rover V8 :D

Nah better with Suzuki V8 in the picture above :D

Civic type r engine is also good, or one of the VAG 1.8T engines :D

Thats my car, the Z Cars twin - maybe for sale soon if your intersted????

Mark Champion - yes it's 345bhp :) :)

Haven't got the cash at the moment (getting married) :(
Seriously thinking about doing the single engine conversion though. How does it handle? With such a short wheel base I would imagine it to be a bit of a handful.

Sorry for thread Hijack

Buy the 1400 block, crank, pistons, fast cam and lightened flywheel I have sat in my loft doing nothing....

hi m8

how much you want for this and is it in good nick

It's never been run and is in seperate bits at the moment.. Can't remember the exact size.. pistons are new.. crank is off-centre ground.. Cam is fast road kc800 I seem to remember.. Has a new set of shells with it...All the bits have light surface rust but I think would clean up easily with a little light emery and some oil... Interested? Make me a reasonable offer..

I think I can feel an auction coming on!!!
