Turbo Mini Forums

How easy, I havent seen many 'known' of 200bhp Minis


Are there many about? I know it might not be wise, due to reliability but theres always the odd one that will have

What kinda spec we looking at?
What cost?
5 port, or 7 port head best?
Is the standard SU upto the job?

Im just interestd, not used this site for long, and would like to know

thanks, Radleigh

Lightweight racer coming soon.

Jon Flanigan
Matt Woods
Jim Lyons
Carl Austin

all have 200bhp+ minis.

Mines not far off now, at 187 bananas with 193 curly wurlies....

5 Port head, almost standard SU

Oh.. and about 4 or 5 grand...

I thought Nic had entered the 200+ club this year?

Also I think Turbo Phil's mate Mike is over 200 ponies now.

No two are the same mind; Matt runs a 5 port & clockwork dizzy (I think) and HIFF 44 carb (I'd guess that it's been flowed) where as Carl runs 16V fuel injected (or that's what Tom told him).

With the exception of Mr Austin's valver most of the high powered cars run big boost and they all have big ICs.

Yes And Nic & T3 tone added to this ever growing list, its all quite easy now, the technology and engine knowledge have all improved massively from the early days of the above fig.

what about mini 300bhp? I know he never got 300, but did he manage 200

Guess a trailerqueen with a T4 and loads of turbo lag could work to reach 300bhp for a couple of secs

i'm nearly there, infact i'm 100% sure on a certain A series guru's rollers i would be over 200bhp

all numbers at the end of the day, how it drives is the important bit. i know for a fact nearly all of them only use the full 200bhp on the strip, and a lot less on a track day etc.

lag! Whats that?? none here!

Well, I've never managed it!

well you have in a way Dave, I doubt I could have got this far without your help.

Lightweight racer coming soon.

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

Edited by Rob H on 18th Aug, 2007.

Well, I've never, ever heard of that one.
Anyone that comes up with "just under / around / exactly / just over" a 'pinaccle figure like 300hp, 350hp, 400hp sould definately be treated with suspicion...

Possible rob, Ive seen 240 bhp from a n/a mini race engine. Was 1420 i think with titedanium ehaust and 16v head.

Back once again like a renegade master

You personally have seen it???

I personally don't believe it for one second.

That is 169hp/litre.

Just think about that for a minute.

Not personally. If had personally do you think i would still be sane.......ish?

Besides dave, it was japanese. Give em anythink and it comes back just Wrong!!!! LOL
Couldve been turboed. Sure it was na hough

Back once again like a renegade master

thats that green miniminorfia (sp?) one your thinking of with the engine tilted forward

i managed 216.9 bananas at vmax this year, and 198 curly whirly's

Dave you never got it Because you didn't want it, and that wasn't what your car was about.

blood hell Nic thats good i thought yours was about 190-200 and just light.

I'll be happy if i can crack that on Vmax's rollers.

well that fique is just a pipe dream for this mear mortal at the moment.

lb for lb t3tone and nics take some beating realy as for the whole driveable thinging.

as said its ok having big bunches but its how the unpeel thats whats counts realy

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

well i havent had mine on the rollers yet!! due to domestic problems....gh!

anyhows 142.1mph you have to have a solid 200bhp to achieve this terminal speed in a mini.
