Big day tomorrow
Turbo Mini Forums

You was right Tom, it was the crack pressure. I had it set too high. I should learn to read instructions first, there was a good idiots guide on utube.

The 171 hp was at the flywheel.
145 hp at the wheels.

What's the point in having in car gauges such at boost, temp, afr, etc? Because there in no way you can take your eyes off the road to look at them when you have your foot planted!
It has certainly gob smacked at how fast a mini is with 130+hp.

Looks nice! I must be a woose! Im too scared to turn mine up! 1- cos its fast enough as it is.. 2- its reliable as hell n dont wanna make it go boom!

I cant see me turning it all the way up on public roads but its nice to know its there to suprise the bikers
Next week the suspension is getting corner weighted and set up so it will improve thing or make it worse.

That power curve looks great no falling away after 5k or so.

Sounds sweet!! you will be turning it up i bet lol.

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

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Just wait. This is what happendwith me. Set boost to moderate level - car is all over the place torque steering. Setup suspension nicely - no more torque steer. Turn boost up - all over the place again. Rose joint everything - drives straight again. Turn boost up and ruin it again.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

It will be getting fooking turned up tomorrow! I need to burn off these falken tyres so i can get some yokas fitted.
i want some better grip.
Is it normal to spin them up in 4th?

Fucking falkens,

Robert loves them, but i think they are death in rubber form.

Looks like a nice mini you got there mate.
Have you got a build thread?

My build thread..

I am trying to mix it with you hardened turbo nutters. Its my first stab at it and i have only broken a couple of pot joints, goosed oil pump, many carb rebuilds, etc. I haven't even exploded my engine yet?

Thanks JT. It's not quite as good as yours though.
I don't have a build thread. It's a 1975 gt on its original floors and cills which must be rare. I originally only had plans of reconditioning the existing motor with a 266 poked in it. But I made the mistake of going to see benross.
But joking aside I couldn't be more happier, he has built me a fantastic motor which the results speak for it.
