Hi all im new to all this, know abit about turbos (had 215bhp fiesta in past). basicly i have a mini and would like to build an engine. i have a metro block sitting there and just need to know and pointers like what pistons you lot tend to use. and want a t2. i think 120bhp is about right but want it to reliable. i sort of have a budget of 800quid but it could change if i perswade the misses. lol

Many thanks lee

800 squids may be a bit optermistic, I managed a conversion for a grand http://www.turbo-mini.com/62147.html and as you can see from the link I didn't buy any engine or box parts.

Not 100% on 1275 pistons, I think the Omegas are the budget options, but the Hypertecs are pretty good too.

Do a quick search on here on pistons and see what comes up.

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol

£379 buys you a set of forged Accralites. These will withstand up to 1000bhp. Not that an a-series will ever produce that. lol

got some 1360 hypertech ones for my mpi. 6-7 cc dish. think they came to £120 posted including hastings rings. had to pay £40 on import tax though

my brother has some in his 1380 high compression engine. it used to eat powermax (between the rings used to go), these have lasted ages though
