My secret 16vT Project is complete
Turbo Mini Forums

Muhahahahahahaha

Just joking

However a spurt of enthusiam after a visit to Chinnor saw me launch the engine from infront of my car into its hole this lunch time

And then this evening i finished the rest of it off



just got to get some oil and spark plugs (and triple check my ball joints!!)

Had me heart goin then. Just a gearbox rebuild or something more? Or top secret?

Youve always got the moke to 16valve.

Back once again like a renegade master

Is it me or is the tread profile of that tyre going the wrong way?

you i think :)

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

im hoping so!

im just waiting for my insurance stuff to come through, but im hoping i can tax it online without them

though it looks like rain all weekend too

come on Nic, front pics Please!

Nic, just a couple of quick questions - I was looking at your build on your website, and I can't see an oil cooler - have you got one or have you not bothered? Also, what is the intercooler that you were using initially, and what is the one you've got now?

oil cooler NOT needed ... honest!

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I think that I'd have been really upset if the ultimate 5 porter was no longer.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

you're great, continu to show them yu back
5 porter forever
cheers
fab

i might get a 5 port tattoo, haha

Originally it was a lancia delta intercooler, but now its a custom one as i popped the end caps off it

I didnt have an oil cooler inthe early days, now i have a little half width one on the brace bars. To be honest i agree with benross that one isnt needed, but ive never got round to actually proving this
If youve got a gauge then i wouldnt bother.

Theres not many improvements for this year. Ive got another head to try (that i completely forgot was on there until today) and thats it. I was hoping to do more but i really havent had the money this winter, hopefully by avon there will be a few more things on there
I also took the opportunity to rebuild the gearbox and fix my crunchy 3rd gear

I just want to get it out and use it now.

Ill get some more pics this afternoon

Make sure you wash it for the pics. Could be me but it looks dirty on the pic.
I cant talk. My car is barely white at the mo.

Back once again like a renegade master

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!

first turn of the key too, im starting to get the hang off this now, however it does seem a bit smokey......... im hoping this will vanish, actually thinking about it i think i overfilled the dashpot

Yeah its disgusting dirty at the moment, hopefully ill clean it soon

you may have had a bit of oil seep through a turbo seal while its been sitting nic?
