Hi guys i have been pointed in this direction by the good people of the mini forum as i am due to start building a 1293 turbo engine, this will be my first attempt at an engine build, so please be patient. Along with this i am taking delivery of a shell on bank holiday monday to accompany the engine so a total rebuild of everything, hopefully to all be done by me including the welding and spraying, so wish me luck.

I will post a build thread up as soon as i have the shell and im sure it will be slow progress due to work commitments.

I have been looking at the posts on here for some time now and thought it was about time i said hello.

thanks

Twisty

Welcome, I'm going to be doing the same engine build very soon too.

Who ate you using for the machining?

hi guys thanks for the warm welcome i have been using the search function and have been going through the basics so far, this has helped me come to the decision to go for the 1293 turbo as i have room to re-bore if things go wrong as i want to go for around about 140 - 150 bhp mark but torque and drive-ability are more important to me. i can see this being an expensive project that i will not rush. the shell just come up at a very good price and local so was to good to refuse as this engine was going to go into my current mini.
