BMW K100 8V package
Turbo Mini Forums

Hello,

I have some parts for sale for a K series 8V twincam conversion. I started to collect them a while ago but now I'm selling them because I got a 16V head.



As you can see the package consists of:

1 BMW K100 8V cylinder head incl. cams, valves, bucket tappets, etc.
1 rocker cover
4 BMW K100 conrods and pistons (just 1 in the picture)
1 throttle body assembly

To be more precise all parts on the picture.

I'd like to get 180 pound including shipping to UK. But make me an offer.

Best Regards

I'd update your location in your profile before Fenton see this!

best of luck with the sale

Allright

Thanks , Rob.:)

not trying to hijack the thread but is there much power gains using the 8valve head? compared to the standard head and the 16v?

also are the 8v and 16v heads interchangable?

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

if i knew more about it yes.
im sure the seller wouldnt mind telling me something about them.
calm down.

Well, about three(?) years ago I heard about this a-series twincam conversion for the first time. I found a website of a guy from canada(?) who propably built the first a-series with a bmw k cylinder head. Then I found another website of an guy from australia (Madmatt - he is active on this forum as well I think) with an bmw 16v cylinder head a-series engine.
So things developed and I started to collect parts. In the meantime quite a lot of this engines were built and even kits were offered ( e.g. specialists components).

To answer you question(s) I'd like to give you a link to a post on the efi minis forum where you'll find a lot more information on this task.

No interest or is my offer to expensive?

I'm interested, just selling some wheels on eBay so should be able to get it off you if you have it near the end of the week. Fingers crossed.

I think it's a fair price as it includes shipping

no one?

would there be any gains of fitting this to an 850? haha, if so im incredibly tempted!

Wasnt this conversion first done on an 850 though?

Yes - the first conversion was done with an 850.
Search for "Mini Twincam Conversion" on google - first link will direct you to the first BMW K Series Mini ever.

what else would be needed for the conversion, as i'm not to clued up on the subject, interested if it isnt going to be a killer on price in the end, also would i need anything machining like pistons or block?
thanks

buy the DVD from Specialist Components, it will explain everything to you

Well, the original was done on an 850 by Greg Temken. He did not pocket the block.



BUT, he used a huge offset overbore. I decided that it would be best to start with the 998 block because the bore walls are thicker to start with.
