wat parts should i keep from my original engine before i sell it
Turbo Mini Forums

hello ive just brought A metro turbo

and as i need the money and space i am selling my original 1275 engine out of my mini Tahiti

i just want to know and make sure that i am not forgetting any bits to take off it before i sell it .

could any one give me a rough list of the bits to rip off it that i can use in my conversion

thanks james

all the bits that are missing from your new engine...

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Personally I would keep it ALL until you've stripped the turbo lump and found out what's shagged and might be better from the N/A one.

TBH you're not going to get a lot of cash for a used basic 1275 - on eBay they seem to go for more sold one part at a time anyway.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

I'd just hang onto both, you can never have enough spare engines!

id like to hang onto both but its not an option as my dad is FREAKING out about it .
i have to get rid of it to make space.
just wana make sure i got all the bits i need from it!!

its propper annoying!

split it and distribute parts around the house, My mum questioned me the other day as to why there was another crank in the box that already has a block and a crank in that currently is residing in the spare room under a bed. my response was that I didn't want them going rusty in the garage!

i will give you £60 for the complete engine

You need both engine mounts, from what I can gather you are going T2 turbo so.

So it is a complete new turbo install so lots of things like oil feeds, down pipes, air filters to buy.

All the answers you need are only a question away!
