why not have a go, you might as well try, if they can fit 2.0l vauxhall engines in a mini hen i'm sure a maestro one could be made to fit.

Have a look on RichSpecs website (i think). A fella called Kev used to race a monty turbo engined mini. I recall it pulled in regular low 14's on the strip, and was pretty stock....

One thing you do want to do - change the cam buckets for the ones from the Perkins engine that the O-Series was based on...
oh, and get a massive, decent intercooler - find one off a 7.5tonner or somet. The stock unit is similar to the R5GT unit and not much cop for that size of engine...
