Sierra IC
Turbo Mini Forums

I'm trying to fit a Sierra cosworth 2wd IC on my Mini (not clubman). Does this pice of kit realy fit the Mini. Where does the alternator go? How much do I have to cut out of the body? Every bit of help is wanted cause I'm stuck pictures even better.

i've got one to go in mine, not decided where to put it yet or whether i'm gonna put a clubby front on it.

if it goes in while i've still got a roundnose then it'll go level with the slam panel but set back a touch and i'll have to see about getting some new end caps made up or re-route the top hose as i think it just clears the alternator on mine.

Take a look at turbo tim's pictures in the picture section.. he has fitted a cossie cooler
I've got one for mine but its a clubman so it fits like a glove

Dave, who's mini is that?

jimster i think thats turbo tims mini.

tellskog intercooler fitment is really all about fiddling about and trying different things to get them in, the pic TD put up should be very helpful for you but i dont think that anyone will be able to give you any specific instrucksion as every engine bay on here is different and everybodys intercooler posistions are different too

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

That is turbo tim's... I saw it at the vinyards show last year... a very nice car indeed.. think its pushin about 208 bhp too mmmmm

208 thats very good

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

Thx everybody for that quick response. Think I'm gonna go whit the same setup as the picture shows, looks realy nice.

Will post some pics when its in and show you my multipoint injected turbo projekt running on an Autronic EFI.

very impressed with the plumbing and location of that cossie intercooler!

Yeah looks very nice, not too impressed with the roll cage bars right in the drivers view though!!!

Ohh its the reflection of the strip lights, i see now

-MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO-

Tellskog, keep us posted on the EFI

lol @ t3tone!!

Cheers chaps, it fits perfectly around the mini head, the inlet and out let pipes on the intercooler are made for the mini, also it works very well, last year I was using a pace products intercooler and noticed a difference using this one, it works a treat.

16V project underway

does a standard bonnet fit ???

wot cossie did it come off?

It's off a 2wd by the look of it:

yes a standard bonnet fits with no mods, and its a 2wd intercooler, I presenly have a spare or two I may sell

16V project underway

oh forgot, you only need to trim the corners off the intercooler, they are only flat pieces of aluminium and and stick up from the corners.
