My Project Turbo
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi, bored and just thought i'd put up a few pics of my '71 turbo project, hopefully should have it finished and sprayed when I can get it sorted, so should look much tastier than the pics below :)





Theres a couple more here if people are interested...

cheers and everyone else keep up the good work.

Looking good mate, what have you done with the rear subframe to get the exhaust that high?

t2 clubby cheers mate, glad someone likes it.

The exhaust is in the centre of the boot floor, as the previous owner had replaced the floor with alloy sheet, so is sitting an inch or so above the subframe, which i'm going to mount it too.

Was the only place I could really position it, as under the car normal style it was ridiculously close to the ground.



ta, ian

That looks cute

Mine's a K plate too.

haha cute wasnt what I wanted but cheers!
it's nicknamed the devil because I want it to be evil and scare people!

might chuck a clubby front on if i ever get it working and have some money

Mini's are never scary

looking good buddy

not far off to finish now!

what the spec going to be of your turbo motor ?

Must admit, i do like the standard look, but that will be really impressive when it's done.

Nice one! Now get that lump in there and start nailling novas.

cheers ric, I just wanted to go for a sleekish look with some personals touches, probably not to everyones taste but hey aslong as I like it, and i'm always the harshest judge of my own cars i think. If you get that. :)

benross, spec of the engine is standard 1275 turbo but I have the mirage conversion and a new R5 watercooled t2 for it, didn't really fancy the bulkhead work and it sounded fun!
After getting it setup and running I'm planning to get a nice intercooler for it and that will probably see me happy for awhile, from my old mini being a full road trim 998cc will be a noticeable difference :)
