my car is finally back on the road
Turbo Mini Forums

cheers for the comments.
just been a naughty boy and ordered a supercharger kit for my car!
plan is to try and stick with the current spec. obviously with reduced compression. and then develop it from there. looking at some of the rr graphs for various conversions. the torque should be great! nice flat curve all the way to the limiter. mine currently peaks at 90 lb/ft @ 4860rpm, hopefully the 'charger will increas that a fair bit!
can't wait!

p.s better take the missus out for dinner before i tell her about the spending lol!

im like it, origional colours too,

hi really clean looking mini there ,gold 10s are cool .recognise tel code on rear screen as york area,myers engineering do thay cater for engine work ? just looking for some one local for some work doing on my engines !!

the sticker was already in the back window when i got it, the car was originally up near leeds.
got to be honest and say i am not sure what services they offer, but you could always ring them and ask!

the supercharger kit arrived today. so far i have refitted the head, with decompression plate. and got the supercharger mounted, need to move the coil pack out of the way of the inlet.
the biggest challenge i think i will have is getting the trigger wheel and new crank pulley mounted in the space that is available. but i will find a way.
aiming to be done in time for mitp.

Dan :)

cool, who's kit did you use?

went for the jonspeed one. its a pretty good kit for the money, and the service from them was good. its all fitting well so far without any problems.

clubman_dan - are you going to be converting from TPS to MAP control..?

If so i would be interested in your TPS set up if it up for sale.

Keep up the good work.

I drill holes in everything..!

Decompression plate? Werent these a little taboo, or is it a different kettle of fish with super charging?

A friend of mine wants to do this to his clubman. The decompression plate was my only concern with it.

Let me know how it goes!

In the 13's at last!.. Just

You could mod the inlet maifold to take your 45 and that would make a nice set-up. :cool:

cheers for the comments.
i would say that the decompression plate is not ideal, but there seems to be a few around that aqre running ok.
next job is to get the head modded so i can get rid of the plate, but it will do for now.
i am swapping to map, so my tps set up will probably be for sale

looking good, just how a mini should look.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

clubman_dan - Let me know when you get round to selling it.

I'll gladly take it and give it a good home.

PM me when you get round to it.

Thanks

no problem si, i will let you know when its out of thee car and ready.

got a bit more done today, got the rad out and go the old crank pulley/trigger wheel off.
the inner diameter of the new pulley is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the part of the trigger wheel that sits within it, so i will need to have it machined out a bit by someone. It is also quite wide with the trigger wheel on it, so i will need to rack my brains a bit to get it to fit in the space available, but i am certain there is a way.
cheers
Dan :)

what trigger setup do you have? SC? if you do I will need to machine a setup for a friend over here too.

i am using the KAD trigger wheel, i think it is similar to the SC one, its only fractionally larger than the recess in the pulley, so it won't need much taking off.

very nice mate

cheers, a bit ot, but i got fed up yesterday with my tools being all over the garage in different shitty plastic boxes, so i got this..

much better! now all my tools are safely locked up in one place!
Cheers
Dan :)

i started mounting the carb today, its going to be a tight fit! i had to bend the throttle cable bracket slighltly to get it in there!
i also started thinking about where to put the coil pack, i think its going to end up on the bonnet slam panel, i just need to work out how to mount it so it doesn't wobble about too much.
off to find somewhere i can get my pulley modified tomorrow. then i can really get stuck in.
I am thinking of getting it booked on the rolling road as extra motivation to get it done in time for MITP.

cheers
Dan :)

Well done, car looks great. Like the new home for the carb, good choice.

-MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO-

got the new map sensor megajolt yesterday, and picked up the crank pulley from the machine shop today, so now the fun can really begin!
:) Dan

never did get the car to mitp :( don't know what happened there!
still trying to get the pulley fitted, really pleased with the job done by the machine shop, the fit is spot on!
i am currently trying to fit it all in, as it fouls the radiator bracketry, and the fan cowling, just trying to make clearance for it which is a bit of a mission.
its a bit o/t but i have found a driver for my car, he weighs less than me (alot less!) so the car will definatley be quicker, not sure on the legality though!

only 15 months old and he LOVES cars already, good lad!
Dan :)

Let him play gran turismo 2 hours straight every night and he'll be fine.

Looks older than me anyway. LOL

Back once again like a renegade master
