Stratford upon Avon

Got mine on the road again now about a year after my standard turbo engine went bang!

i'm now running a new MED 1293, omega pistons, piper 'T3' cam, avonbar 'stage 2' head, Jack Knight SC box etc.
just finished running it in now but ive got to be abit careful with the boost coz i'm not running an intercooler yet!

it'll be interesting to see how many other mini turbos there are around.

If everyones were finished we're getting close to 30, not bad.

Now 30 turbo Minis a a RR shootout would be a good day. Surely Mini magasing couldn't ignore that.

Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

intercooler shouldnt make it run any leaner, just make it run a little rich, use a colourtune or something then go to the RR.

Keep it off boost if possible really if your not confident on your setup.

Richer ??
I dont understand Iian

I thought as it cools the air; it becomes more dense ; thus adding more air into the mixture ... therefore leaner ?

AM i being a pratt again !!

i no what your saying Iain, it shouldn't run leaner, but it just might as if the airs being cooled down it's more dense there for more of it and still the same fuel going in, just a thought.:)
