Anyone got any K1100 pictures?
Turbo Mini Forums

As the title really, Ive just got my grubby mits on a spare block, I was thinking of doing the conversion as a long term project over the next 18 months.

Ive done a search but most of the old pics come up with a red cross! Im mainly after some pics of the block mods, just to see whats what!

Cheers

Matt

Matty, just a thought but it might be worth getting hold of the Specialist Componets build guide.... Answered all my questions.

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

Turbo of course, fancy getting my hand back into a bit of machining and welding, so thought this would be a good project?

Well for a start this one is my engine



Although i did all this on my own i severely recommend JohnK and specialist components bits. I was building my engine and making an awful lot of my bits myself when in reality the time i was spending would have been better spent doing proper work!!

As a first step buy his build guide as RogerM said, even if you don't buy the kit it gives you all the important considerations.

If you get stuck or want some specific pictures i have a few, but quite large file sizes, pm me your email and i can send some across that you are interested in.

Ah yea I found them ones, thats what swayed me to give this a go.

I'll Pm you as it would be interesting to see some detailed pics. Cheers

No probs Matty, you`re most welcome mine has been running for some time now & we`re very happy with it. the new turbo & computer are here now so we can have another play. I`m doing 6 more of them for customers at the moment.

so what sort of power are we looking at with these conversions?
what do they rev up to?

Josh - the 1380 16v n/a motor in my gold car is running 163bhp @ 8200rpm - I'm limiting the motor to 8700rpm as torque is going off then, torque is "over" 100lb/ft from 3700 - 8500rpm. I'm expecting these figures to rise when I've developed a few areas mid this year.

The 8v in the clubby is yet to be strapped on the dyno but I'd expect "more than" 110bhp from it - this is all std BMW parts - no mods - and I'm sure it'll stop making useful torque at 7500/8000.

for forced induction power - Jimsters the man to ask at the moment.

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

There`s quite a fair bit of room for improvement on these heads, & i`m expecting 10,000rpms & well over 200hp avaliable with the right stuff done inside of course. Things like short stroke sth African large journal 1071 crank & some decent rods/valves etc. Add about 25psi to all that & you should have a nice little race donk

well that`s one of my plans in progress for my own sports sedan brick anyways.

i think a nice clubman with a 1380 turbo k1100 head on it should be fun! lol
maybe one for me in the future once iv got the turbo built and sorted!

Haha collected my block yesterday. :)



Bores look really good, shouldn't make to much difference as it will be going 1293 anyway!



One thing I noticed was there is no oil filter just a blanking plate, did rover do a standard remote filter arrangement at some point?

Ive got various sized cast plugs with quare lugs on the top, so planning to countersink head, wind these in, then braze them up!

What the fudge is with the oil filter blanking plate?

Wierd

how does oil get to the main gallery?

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

pass!!!! It looks like a standard part which is strange, or its just really well made, whatever can't see its use apart from for storage?

the hole centres on that plate don't just happen to be the same as the fuel pump do they?

I like your thinking but...

Oil filter centres 38mm approx
fuel pump 44mm centres approx?
