Ok I've been going down the route of turbo'ing a 1275 and am coming across stumbling blocks with regards to finding the right block and the right bits and even looking for a metro turbo engine and gearbox complete, but struggling. I'm looking for at least the 120BHP mark.

You can, however it may cost more in the long run, and the engine will be running at a higher stress level than a 1275 to make the same power.

Have a read of this thread:

There is a nice thread by I think Tom Fenton on here which desribes the difference between MG Turbo engines and non turbo 1275s so have a search of that. In short any 1275 can be rebuilt for turbo use given your carefull with piston and compression ratio choice. You can also get a bottom end kit from quite a few reputable engine builders such as Avonbar for less then a grand.

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder. On 15th Aug, 2011 robert said:

Your right that's the best way but I just wanted to say any engine will do if complete Metros or turbo lumps were hard to get. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:
