The new HC Racing mini engine for 2006
Turbo Mini Forums

Ok the grand unveiling...

Along with the help of Morspeed i am glad to anounce my Mini will be partially BMW.

Having seen Simon's work on a previous 16v K1 BMW head conversion i thought "i'd like a slice of that".

With all the talk of 7 and 8 ports heads on this forum i am trying to be one pace ahead of everyone else with this project.

All the electroni injection and ignition trickery will be sorted by Simon's close friend the proprietor of QED, a respected engine tuner in Vauxhall circles for many years.

All the hard bits like cam drives,oil feeds,head to block matching are all done and developed so it is plain sailing.

It is just the turbo cam design that is going to be a bit of an experiment.

Why not a black block and red head ???

Metro turbo weekend driver,Mini turbo in the making again!

F*#king chequebook engine builders....

If you are going to "dare to be different" you got to be different!!

who you getting to build the exhuast manifold Jon? i think that will be pretty hard as well just because of the temps

News just in:

Avon Park (A-series) road-legal classes - road tyres and five-port heads only.
















LOL!

Jon does it fit under the bonnet ?

hang on, that ain't an A+ 1275 block???

feck!

No is a thin flange S block......

Simon is speaking to a company called Simpson about the exhaust system, they do alot of bespoke cars systems. They have done jobs on mid engine grassers that he has had things to do with.

Show us all a pic of the other end Jon......

The other end Tom?

The water pump end where the cams are driven etc

I am interested to see how the cams are driven.

The Cam drive end?

Will do when they come back from tje grinders.

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

I'm not sure if this gives everyone in D class no chance or more of a chance. As it could concievably make less power (unlikely but still a chance)

But knowing Jon it'll get properly sorted and the floor will be well and truly wiped as usual.

Good luck.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

From wot i have heard on Minifinity, Simon has managed to get about 180 bananas from a n/a 1380 with the K1100 head.

Unfortunately mine will be n/a to begin, then will work my way up to forced induction. But my whole project has only set me back £350 so far and quite a lot of my time!!!

great stuff jon, looking forward to seeing it in action

Looks good, and the correct colour as well! :)
What about the engine in the Metro, will that be modified in any way?

superb!

I hope you paint it a proper colour!

lol

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

Dear Jon,
Do me a favour and leave Simon for half an hour so he can dish me some Pistons? would be great.

Dear Mark,

Anyway:
Great work, amazing, I would like to see that on the track.

And maybe this year we'll get a chance at avon lol
