Dave, what have I forgotten ;-)
Turbo Mini Forums

Below is a list of the things that have been done (or are in the process of being done to convert my 1983 mini mayfair to something a bit pokeyer:

Start with 1293 A+block - was a stage 3 normaly aspirated lump.
Fit:

Wedged, X-drilled, Nitrided crank.
Kent 500 cam (possibly want to go wilder later)
Piper duplex lightened cam drive.

I only ask for advice on one thing - what did I forget to do?

And if anyone has any good ideas for cam and ignition timings with set up then i need them in a hurry!

Have had 106 degrees quoted for the cam as a good baseline, and the standard metro turbo timing for the ignition?


Cheers,
Edwin

Go for that as a start then get it on the rolling road!
