Morspeed K1100 headed conversion ALREADY dyno'd at over 300hp!
Turbo Mini Forums

Edited by TurboDave16V on 11th Apr, 2006.

Turbodave,

i do not own a virtual test rig my friend with the dyno does, which is why mine is for sale (i have the use of his proper one)

I would love to say who he is and mention his company as things would become alot clearer, but im affraid if i did that he and his company would get phone calls and hassle that he can do without.

He has taken over the project with personal interest and will no doubt see it through all the current problems.

Im not affraid to admit i know nothing about rolling roads or dynos and do not operate my own rolling road so all i can tell you is the rig 'loads up' at different percentages and is one hell of a piece of kit.
im sorry if it sounds a bit thick but thats how it is, i stick to building engines.

the N/A 16v is a different story, thats my baby. but i know thats of no interest.

Ask yourself? why do most championship winning minis use morspeed?

yeah, well,,,that`s quite an impressive figure (300hp) But as mentioned, there`s a lot more involved with getting it all to the ground. The 2 Twinkys that i`m doing are taking some time to sort & i`m sorry to everyone hanging on the results, but i`m certainly not after "That" much mumbo, don`t really care to have my cars sitting in the shed most of the time repairing/upgrading/modifying/improving broken shredded bits (if i can help it) I`d rather be driving it once it`s finished.

That`s what the turbo V8 mini is for shredding bits

ah well,,,good thread guys & also glad to see more Bimmer twinky happening, best value for money HP that i have ever found

OH!! & by the way, with the Bimmer head allready on 28ccs, & pistons way down the bore & valve cut outs in them & bigger dish etc etc, that would make comp ratios very very low, like well under 7.5:1(ish) so i spose you`re trying to pump 30psi into it to get 300hp , yeah???

i`ve had trouble keeping comp ratio up enough (with maintaining clearance issues) for the road version to not be such a pig off boost, let alone N/A donks.

special dome top pistons are my thoughts here,

How do you get comp ratios up enough for your road going N/A donks , or do you just keep them at very low comp ratio? you mention mods to the pistons in your web site, so am i to assume you`re welding them up & then flycutting for valve relief???

the 6 heads i got left all have 21.6cc in, were have you had 28cc???
My road N/A engines run at 12.0:1 if using injection, 6.5cc dish mega piston with 1.5cc valve pockets. pistons flush, 3.5cc head gasket, head skimmed to 19.8cc.

with the turbo we used an omega 11cc piston dished out (pic on website) 9.3cc head gasket, left 0.040" down the bore to give 8.0:1

all the heads i have hear (6 of them now) are 28cc chambers

maybe different counties get different engine configurations, talks with Jukka & others have shown differing chambers around the world, havn`t done any homework with BMW about this topic tho so can`t confirm, but comp ratios & valve clearances were my early problem with N/A, that`s the big reason i went to turbo as the large(ish) chamber is well suited without having to go to special dome top pistons (money)

well, good on ya man, make it happen & lets see some track times & videos soon yeah?, mine will still be a while away as i just tinker around & i spend way to much time on my push bike & playin with my V8 mini

Hey i can post pics !!!

yeh i bought 10 heads from a very good breakers, all so far have had 21.6cc chambers thats why i had the turbo head gasket made at 9.3cc.
Maybe they do have different chamber sizes? thats interesting.

Its sods law isn't it, I save up and get a 7 port and then the cheap 16 valve kit comes along!!!

I just measured all the spare heads i have here, (best to actually check them all properly rather than just assume they`re the same as my first 2 hey? ---> my bad)

2 of them are actually 19ccs

another 2 are 21.5ccs & the other 4 are actually 26ccs

there`s something about different models/countries/capacities etc ?????

Makes me wonder what the newer model 1200cc bike head measures up at then ??? they (apparently) have larger valves & cams too,,,hhhhhmmmmmm......

I was told that the 1200 heads where a different to the k1100, don't quote me on this though

thats some good info to look out for madmatt,

Looking at your pic it seems you too have converted the original 'K' manifold to accept the turbo?

I'm getting fed up of all the negative attitudes on this forum at the moment to people trying out new things.

Please let's return to the days of CONSTRUCTIVE critisicm and positive responses to other peoples endeavours.

Agree with Tom

16V project underway

Agree with Tom

People put a lot of effort into their projects, if you dont like it, shut the fuck up, if you have something worthwhile to say carry on.

i'm with tom also,
Tom you need to loose some weight,lol.
whereas i need to put some on.
