Turbo engien spec about to order opinions please
Turbo Mini Forums

Just wondering what you all think of the following spec i am just about to order. I suppose i just want to check that i have not missed anything

The car will be used for track days however it will have to be driven there.

Over bore to 1293cc
omega forged pistons
moddified crank
series 2 cam
1.5 roller rockers
vmax everyday 140 head
sc drops
rebuilt gear box with CPU
cross pin diff
metro turbo rad + electric fan
R5 intercooler
T3 turbo

hopeing to run about 12psi of boost.

Can anyone see anything missing from the list?

Downpipe and clamp?

Cone filter and flexy pipe?

Fuel filter?, goes before pump.

Fuel line back to pump/B&Q plumbing dept!

think you've pretty much got the lot......

ARP rod bolts?
Centre main strap?
Steel flywheel / backplate / grey coverplate all to be balanced with the crank?

Forged pistons seem OTT to be honest. Also you say you are ordering it, where from?

12psi isnt incredibly high for a turbo mini so maybe not all those high spec components may not be needed.

Forgot to add the 11 stud head arp bolts and none verto ultra light flywheel and uprated clutch.

By the end of it all hopefuly i will be running more boost once i have given it a damn good shake down and got stuart to improve the head. But all of that is long term
