Hallo,
I'm from Italy,
I'd like to fit an E.R.A. Turbo engine in my Innocenti Mini Cooper 1300, do you think there are problems with body modification?
I ask you this because my car is Left hand drive, and from your photos you cut the area where in my car is fitted Clutch and brake master cylinder.
I must be sure of this before to buy this engine i have found in Italy.
I hope in your help.
Thanks a lot
Ottaviano.

I suffered similar things, I have to relocate the turbo, you better find a way and try to relocate the cylinders.
I am from Holland and I know that people have modified left hand drive minis, o it can be done.
Good luck, take your time to do some investigations.

Have you considered using the mirrage manifold and a T2 turbo?

That way you don't need to cut the bulk head anyway.

Esp. as you have a Innocenti Mini!
