Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

broke in march, tried to fix it last week, still broke now....

new heads on order but wont be done for avon.

trying to wangle something to drop in for avon park though, watch this space, lol :)

nick i have my old leaded head ,its got about a mm of recession ,but if you have some valves you could wack em in and borrow it ?

thanks for the offer robert, i might give you a shout if the current plan falls through. what size valves does it need out of interest?

I know to a complete short engine built to the same spec as mine but with forged pistons sat gathering dust that i've asked to borrow for a couple of weeks on the "i break it i've bought it" rule

its a 36/29 head ,oh ,it'll need some guides wacking in the ex's though , i think i knocked the old ones out .its a turbo head but normal size guides are fine i think .

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

Mini hasn't been touched since I took the box to bits!

Just rebuilt my old R5GTT. Inner sill, outer sill, both rear bumper mounts, arch repairs, rear 1/4 repairs. I thought minis were bad!

Also had to weld a new jacking point to my daily 5 for it's MOT

Have a new gearset and bearings for the mini along with a good pile of new parts to fit. Also needs tuning and a wash :)

My one just needs a V good clean now.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Van passed it's MOT yesterday, so it'll be back in bits tonight. Oil drain is a oil - floor drain...

i still have a bare shell. need to finish welding cage in and a few tiny bits then prep then paint. then ive actually got to build the thing but its all there to do so will be like a giant airfix model! only need to buy brakes, megajolt, tyres and fuel tank

I also have a bare shell. Just needs the welding doing, and a cage building and... well, everything really.
Engine should be done for MITP though!

Why is it that the last 2% is such an up-hill struggle?

Within touching distance of getting the Miglia running, but still lots of jobs to do.

Enthusiam has dropped to near zero.

I don't know what this "project completion" thing is everyone keeps talking about.

At the moment we have six minis, three mokes, a Golf, a Porsche 928S, a Goggomobil coupe and a Suzuki Swift Gti. Only 3 cars are currently running, and ALL of them need work.

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

My enthusiasm is still high. Even though my current project involved the invention of many new sware words last night.

I migh be back on decorating tonight though!

Instagram @jdm_brett

Mines been running for a week now. MOT runs out at weekend but should go through no problems.
Have to rebuild smokey turbo ( I did stem seals but it was wishful thinking)
And find out what really is making that noise that sounds a bit like a CV joint but a bit different and not only when turning corners but only under load.
I might not have enough money to go to Avon
She pulls like a train now though I didn't have enough money to finish megajolt or an intercooler, what I have done is taken my time with everything to make sure it's right.

Thought I'd posted on this when it first went up, evidently not.

Any way! Jobs required to complete after 9½ years in the garage;

* Pick up Megajolt from a mate and wire it in.
* Pick up and "plumb in" non-verto clutch slave cyl. at the same time.
* Sort the bloody brakes out that won't bleed (suspect offside caliper)
* Breathe some life in to the "new" 1293 - Benross headed - bulletproof bottom end - Straight cut everything engine. Wish me luck!
* Calibrate tacho/ speedo
* Suspension set up + MOT :)

Sounds like a pot joint missing a ball to me. The sprint did this for a while.
