Engine build nearly complete!!
Turbo Mini Forums

Its taken suprisingly less time than i thought, but ive nearly finished my build. Just been working on it on my lunch breaks (boss)

Its starting to take shape now, just need to get the engine bay cleaned up, as you can see its a bit of a mess.

I still need to fit my front mount rad, cossie intercooler and then work out, what this MJ is all about!

Have to say a massive thanks to Steve (Benross) for his quick turn around when he modified my head chambers and turbo elbow/manifold. Highly recommend his work.

good work, such a beautiful car

Nice one Matt - looking forward to seeing it back on the road!

Nice one mate looks sweet.

Often wondered how you get the starter solenoid out of the way.

Looks a similar colour to mine old english?

I ordered up the sensor mount and got a pulley machined by Tom for the MJ, will need to figure it out myself at some point.

BTW - I took my buddy VTEC Pete out for a spin this weekend, and even though I am running her in, he gave it a name, the "Brocket"...cause I'm a brocket maaannn, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah....

top work matt. If i take a trip to chinnor when it's done, can you take me out for a spin?

Should be 160bhp lump when it's done shouldn't it?

Looking great Matt well done!

Top build, looks very nice, well done.

superb matty well done

sex on a stick matt.

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

I nearl went down the route of fitting the old style strater, but its would mean changing flywheel and fitting a remote solenoid, and alot a messing about.

When you veiw my starter from above it actually sit further back that the transfer casing,and level with the starter body. it should give me the extra room for a front rad.

Hoping for more than 160 Ric.

Do you think I should mirror the holes cut for the intercooler?

Although the engine's not the correct green, I guess it'll be a good one anyway. At least it's not red!

Get the car a tad higher, and it'll be great.

I know, it wasn't supposed to be a Kawasaki green! :$

More of the standard old school green.
