If you've seen an Allspeed fram, you'd be best contacting allspeed then... or go onto www.16vmini.co.uk and find the forums... On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

Why a Fiesta RS Turbo? It's not a particularily good engine compared to others..

my thinking, honda vtec or vauxhall 2l, both can be turbo'd, both have subdframes available off the shelf On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

But for me it is all about being different an there are laods of vaux and v-tec conversions. i know i want an rs turbo conversion as the tunning for the ford engines is very extensive. i can never turn down a challenge. anways i got a garage to work on it now so can start stripping my mini down.

Choose a decent different engine then, not some iron crap invented in the fifties. That's original :) On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

I know it's nice to be different (my 998 turbo was once, now there's loads, well I haven't actually seen one or heard that one is complete yet, but there will be, I digress). but VTEC and K-series conversions are the most popular because they make the most engineering sense, i.e. availability, cost, size etc.
