Engine Rebuild
Turbo Mini Forums

Hello to all, i'm from belgium, (Ghent) and i bought a 91' mini special wich i'm restoring.with a 998cc engine, i can buy a 1275 metro engine to put that in for some more power.

Here in belgium u can't find turbo engines or components to tune your engine, but i found an original exhaust with a T3 and a HIF44 turbo and inlet all bolted together that came from a metro turbo engine, hes asking 150 euro, should i buy this?

And is it hard for a mini-noob to make a 998 or 1275 turbo engine from a stock engine?

Thanks

ps i searched this forum and found a lot of instructions on building a turbo engine.

some pics before i started ripping everything out

Doesn't sound that expensive if the T3 is in good condition

the turbo was in good condition. i also have a T2 from a renault R5 turbo
