Hello everyone,

ve been an absolute mini fanatic for years and im looking to make the leap into forced induction, i have a particular soft spot for the 998CC and this is what i am basing my project on, ive got some bits kicking about as my base:

Strong 998cc engine with proven 79k on the clock,
Garrett T25 Turbo
MG Metro Camshaft
Metro Turbo head
HIF 44

still alot of parts to collect, but ive got plenty of work to do to pocket the block etc to get everything prepared anyway :) this will be the biggest project modification wise ive done,

my current little project is a 998 also, vizard style 998, 12G925 head, 1.3.1 rockers, piper 286 cam, flat top pistons, 9:1 ration 3.44 final drive and thats great as is (although i do know the 12G925 is preferred for turbo i want to build a new car for my turbo project)

look forward to sharing the banter and picking your brains

James

Hi and welcome. Looks like a good project. Have you considered other turgid, the t25 is on the large side for a 998.

I only just realised that it was the same person. Search on here for gt15. There are a few to choose from.
