While trying to get to sleep the other night I wondered if it would be possible to reverse the firing order, reverse the polarity on the alternator, then.... roll your mini backwards down a hill, but in 1st gear and try to bump start it? Is it possible to run the A series backwards? Yes, Im getting there.....

You can do it with a diesel cement mixer. Although the rev limiter won't work.
Bugger off, I'm getting there. |

My mate was once trying to bump-start his mini rolling down a hill, he was just being lazy as it had stalled as he was reversing out on to the road.
Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I'm mainly concerned about swirl in the runners caused by the tangential entry. |

When you run a Mini with too high compression, it will run on after the ignition has been cut. It then runs backwards... On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

this is mind boggling... because wouldnt the fuel also pump the wrong way on a mechanical engine, and the exhaust suck in and blow out the air filter?!?! god knows cant think about it it hurts! Previous Engine: 1040cc Morespeed engine, 1275 turbo head T2 Turbo Mirage Manifolds Megajolt

The fuel pump on a mini wouldnt matter because it works off a lobe on the cam to create a linear motion not a rotary one.... I think you would suck in through the exhaust though.... the valve would open for the exhaust stroke as the piston would be moving down.... hmmm Vice versa for the inlet scary.... The oil pressure wouldn't be up to much though
