You want the 3rd edition of tuning BL's A series ideally, it just has a bit extra in it and if you buing you may as well jet the one with more in.

Beware if your ebaying though the 2nd and 3rd editions look similar at first glance

3rd edition...

2nd edition

1st edition...

also the how to mod your mini is an ok read if it comes up cheap, but TBH its a bit dated now.Does cover the whole care rather than just the engine though.

no worries, I included how to modify your min as i've never seen TBASE in paper back so thought you might mean that.

also the Des hamill book is quite good, IIRC it hase some stuff on engine clearances which is usefull.

The Des Hamill book, is that one of the speed pro series, think I have one of those for the 998cc, any idea if the 1275 version is any different?

Don't forget this books are great as a guide, but things have moved on a lot since then so they are not the only way of doing things.

It was the turbo side of things I was looking for, so now thinking about it I may not bother.
