if rover made a 16v engine for the mini this is what it would have looked like!

keep it up mate, top quality!

Thanks people :), this is why it has taken the best part of three years. Im still changing stuff as I go along

Are your transmission casings just thoroughly cleaned or are they painted? If painted what do you use??!!

Thoroughly cleaned AND painted.

Aluma Blast, available from Frost or Moss

looks ok i guess.




lol, looks really good i always like the attention to detail you give mate.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

How good does this look

That looks awesome! I take it that its running then?

What power do you expect it to be putting out?

Today has not been without its problems

Firstly trying to dry out an engine that was flooded and at a temperature of 5 degrees C, was not the easiest. In the end I used a heat gun, jammed open the throttles, removed the plugs and turned the engine till each cylinder in turn had open inlet valves, then blew the hot air into the cylinder. while using an electric fan heater blowing downwards onto/ into the head.

I originaly thought the flooding was down to a combination of to high a VE number, too much warm up enrichments, and where it sat on the target lambda map. So I revised those settings completely. Once the cylinders were again dry, I tried again, but only to find cylinder #1 flooded again very quickly. I started to think that there was actualy a hardware problem. I pulled the injector rail out with the injectors and tested, only to find that injector 1 on all the time and pouring fuel into the cylinder at a rate of 248cc/ minuet!!!!

Quick swap around of the injectors, to find the issue still on number 1. I looked through all the output channels and could find no conflict, so for now, I just changed to a different injector channel and reconfigured. This allowed me to get the engine running and warmed up.

I think there is an air lock as the coolant tenp shoots right up, but the rad end tank is cold. I left the rad cap off and then found that when the thermostat opened it pushed a lot of the coolant back out because of that air lock

Anyway, I took a quick video, and just as I stopped filming, it stalled. The tank was now dry. I only had what was left in the bottom of the tank and what was left in the bottom of the jerry can, which was about 1 litre and most of that went into number one cylinder and into the tray while testing

That was it, time was 3 o'clock and we
Anyway, its going to be another week again before I can get back to it

Good work, bet all the effort seems worthwhile now! :)

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

Thanks

Well the only thing thats getting me down at the momnet is the cooling system, but Im now waiting on a fancy new tool to vac it down .

I am also considering fitting removable ABS inner wings . Not having them is a godsend for getting to stuff from the wheel arch, but I can just see all that road crap, getting at the timing belt

I will be finishing the off side hub and drive shaft, with only a few bits of wiring left, then its MOT time :)

Fantastic Work Colin just read trough this Topic very nice, the engine is probly the best and most stock looking attempt at this 16V setup I have seen well done.
keep up the good work ho and go with the inner wings the keep things so much cleaner.
regards,
Paul.

hope to see it at the start line..

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

ECU now sorted, idle has been tuned and i have been for a quick drive round the estate.

next stop, the dyo
