I'm guessing even less: a friend of mine once brought me a Cooper S half engine (block/crank/rods/pistons) from the US and he never mentioned paying for any overweight (max 35kgs).

How light can you make it that is the question, i was thinking the other day, if you remove weight from from everything how much could you achually save eg engine box suspension ect

-Rover 100 VVC #2 - track project

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

I'm using an MPi block. It has no dizzy hole but still had the boss inside the block for the dizzy drive. FastCarl machined that off for me. I plan to tidy up all the imperfections etc inside. Won't save much weight, but should help with oil flow

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.
