Minus 7 port turbo
Turbo Mini Forums

I had the same issue when I dropped the mechanical fan. I stuck a two blade back on and the temps were sorted again.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I missed your car at mitp. I wanted to have a good look at it. Looks really nice in the photos.

I'm going to try a few more little mods to see if I can get the side mount rad to work without a mechanical fan.

If that fails I'm going to go front mounted, as I'll be doing that when I go turbo, it would also remove my ugly top hose!

Where did you get that foot well anti slip tape from? Looks like it goes into the grooves lovely!!

Smart as usual Jonny

I have done that oncen was with a aluminium tube wich hold a temperature sensor. Linked up to an regular electric fan ( the type that sits in the inner wing) and a swich ( never needed it but was just in case the sensor failed) worked verry well. But gad an electric water pump as well. .. that one failed.

you can do anything if you set your mind to it...
i rather blow it up winning than keep it together losing.

finish date set for project 1... march 2018

You need to make sure you have sealed it to the wing so the only air getting pulled goes through the rad! As for your fan I had a £20 eBay job on mine first and it was shit! Swapped to a kenlow never looked back.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

A mate took some fancy pictures the other night.

Jonny,

This is such a nicely proportioned and detailed car, everything looks just right and it's pretty well ready to go, keep it up.

Cheers

Looking fantastic, the pictures are great!

Not read the write up yet but the car looks great

I recently had to swap to a mechanical fan and origional cowl, used a two core because I couldn't get the Radtech to fit in my mk1 nicely. I also used water wetter instead of coolent, it runs almost too cold now

Speeding is like masturbating, everyone does it, but not all of us film it and put it on the internet

I havent read this yet too but after seeing the pics above Ive just made myself a coffee and Im about to indulge :)

Fantastic. It's bloody perfect.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Car looks great! I really want a Minus, hopefully I'll find one for sale if/when I sell the GTM

One of the nicest looking Minis I have seen.

Just read the whole thread.

I could be wrong, but looking at the pics I reckon the top hose from my A35 would fit your setup.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

I need to update as some bits have changed the last few weeks. It's now got a front mounted rad and I've dropped a few kilos.

Dazed and Confused....

A bit of an update.

Its in mini mag this month .





I also went to Players Show and came away with a top 20 award and a speedhunters feature to top it off. The standard of the VW cars was incredible so i was chuffed to win something!



I've changed a few more bits on the car to save weight and improve it.

I made a different battery strap.



Drilled some holes.



Dropped the catch can, changed breather setup, changed the rocker cover to a CF one and fitted a front rad with electric fan. This all saved me about 3-4kg and has improved the engine bay. Although i still need to move some wiring.

The front mount is ridiculously tight as i still have a dizzy.

Before


After



Finally i had a bit of a stupid moment.

The door skin had started to split from the frame of my GRP doors (good old arc angels). I thought i would take the inner out to save some weight whilst fixing it but in doing so i drilled through the outer skin... I have repaired and painted the damaged area but i need to blow over the whole door still.
