Turbo choice
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi

I've used the search function but haven't found a definative answer.

I was originally going to use the Mirage Maniflods and a T2, mainly to avoid cutting the bulkhead out.

I took the car to someone for bodywork today, and we agreed to put a box in while the works being done, as its having a new front and more, so easy to do, and the best time to do it.

My question is what turbo and manifold arrangement would people reccomend for me? I'm aiming for around 140 - 150 bhp, so not monster power, just a useable weekend car.

Its a 1293 with 10cc omegas, MED 'T3' turbo cam, Turbo Phil head with 28cc chambers, standard box with S/C drops and an X pin diff.

Now there is going to be clearance for the turbo, what would people reccomend please?

Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance,

James

Am sure you could still use the mirage either with the t2 or the main turbo everyone seams to be using at the mo is the gt17.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I'm moving away from the Mirage idea now, mainly due to the expensive price tag, as I've not bought them yet. As for the T2, I've got 2 turbos already that were supposed to be T2's but arent, so I'm moving away from those a little too.

The GT17 sounds interesting. Can they be fitted to the metro manifold? Also what are people doing for the elbows, as they are a 3 bolt type elbow?

Thanks

James
