he's also running an MSD digital DIS6 ignition system with boost retard and launch control



the igloo you see is not for drink while on the job
that carries the ice and water mix for the water to air charge cooler.



i dont know of the power figures as yet but i have seen this thing give mitsubishi evolutions a$$ whippings

21 psi!!!
That's a beast!

cripes! whats the engine spec?
nice sponsor

sod the engine spec , any sample video`s !!!!

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

george sherwood (the owner) has the only flow bench in jamaica and has been building mini heads for every race mini in the island....!

he also has a mini that races at our local circuit.

he's running some aftermarket pistons but i dont know which and a custom head. running a very low 7.5:1 CR and i think a schneider (sp?) cam

i haven't gotten around to videoing this beast as yet but the next time we go to the drags you can be sure i will

oh yeah love the sponsor too

12s and the odd 11`s , please tell us more

Well that's also the quickest turbo mini in the world then...

Quickest one i've ever heard of is the 'unproven' 12.86 (i think) by a mini in Oz, that was wrecked before it could do any more runs...

us brits are clearly well shy of the kind of power this must be putting out - i recall Jon Flanian has the quickest ever time of 13.62...

bit like football , we invent it , then everyone beats us.....

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

or cricket!

First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on a carb?

it is a MK1 body with the only modification to the shell being cutting away the front arches to accomodate the huge slicks...

there is also a custom built rear beam axle bolted on......

this car is always in the 12 sec. class at the races and his best time to date has been 11.4 :cool:

while at his garage yesterday he showed me a mini world magazine article which featured him some long time ago...

at the time they where doing a feature on a conversion he did which involved mating a ford engine to the mini gearbox. !!!!!

this car at the time was putting down some mad power and was soon outlawed at our local circuit....

for him to continue running the car he would have weigh down the car with and extra 1000lbs!!!

Peter Baldwin was also present at the interview..........

this guys as done it all to minis.. he even has a spaceframe sitting in his shop!!!

while there i noticed this very immaculate yellow clubman sitting in a corner looking as unassuming as it could be.....

what a susprise when he opened the bonnet

this car has a toyota 4AGE engine mated to the mini gearbox and flywheel housing running two 45mm webbers

the car is so simple and unassuming and the install so clean....... there was no cutting of the body any where as using back the mini gearbox meant he would still use the original mini mounts

i can just imagine what this car will do on the road..........

Timeslips!!! Must see timeslips!!!! WTF kinda speed must that thing be doing over the eighth and the quarter!!!

Finally - I hope you don't mean putting down that power as in that's 'at the wheels' and flywheel is even more????

i'll try to get a copy of his timeslips for you guys
and if he has a copy of his dyno run i'll try to get it....

i'm not sure when i will be at his garage again though

'I swear to use the Boost, The whole Boost'
'And nothing but the Boost..... So help me God'

power does sound like at the flywheel though he didn't say.......

'I swear to use the Boost, The whole Boost'

does anyone know what 1600 lbs is in kg's?
