Hahahahaha yeah true.. But i dont want to keep removing the engine over and over again... It's just a "regular" street car with a bit more...

But my main problem is that i don't have an original turbo manifold so i still have to make something anyways..

I don’t mean the whole engine, just the manifold with turbo attached.

Got her started up today. Cranked over and fired instantly. First time in 3 years. Just some odd jobs and new tyres before MOT time.

Well, fuck me it’s exciting to drive. I thought I was just a bit out of practice with the mini and had got used to driving the slow family wagon. But, turns out the actuator arm was completely pinched between the turbo and support bracket for the manifold.

Needless to say, quite some boost was made.

Blimey. It’s been a year since I updated this.

So, the manifold gasket was leaking because the ports were too big for the fire rings. I pulled it all apart and decided that the side mount setup makes the car too much of a twat to work on. So, I’ve been making a new manifold and all the stuff to make it work.

Pics to follow.

Funny, I've been thinking the same about the standard metro setup!

Looking good, neatly packaged.

I think once you move the intercooler piping out the way it isn't too bad.

Running!

Didn’t take much to start after sitting for a year (with year old fuel in).

MOT early this week.
