That looks great, do these conversions fit under a standard bonnet? Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Mine needs a tiny weeny bump on the bonnet for the front of the head, your timing gears look to be a tad bigger than mine, maybe yours will touch a bit more even?

Well i dunno about the turbo installs for fitting under bonnets but i have got about maybe 1/2 inch of clearance on the top of the cam cover to the bonnet. Mine has been tilted slighty back to allow for the carbs i am using to begin with, and the fact i am not putting a turbo in to start helps.

its only everything bolted together for me to do my exhausts and inlets to fit inside the bonnet!!! Have got to get the guts sorted, oil feeds and drains, coolant system and cam drives!!! Not much really!!! So long as i can get it too look like an engine by may 24th for my presentation i will be happy!!! |

Looking good Ant! I'll bolt mine together again and post a pic. I think Sproket uses puma and 1.25 zetec bits though could be wrong. Yup, Fiesta 1.25 Zetec sprockets. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

Well i found it first from MadMatt, then 1071s who pointed me onto a bloke who done an 8v version on a 998 or 850?? in 1989? Then i heard of Simon at Morspeed doing it and then Jimster and then Mini sprocket. Although everyone has slightly different ideas about things which is good!!!

I think the 8v claim is the canadian, the first 16v was a frenchman named Bruno Roulle - Matt's was the next i saw before the Morspeed unit.

Aslo been ripped off on ebay for a Dihatsu Charade alternator, which im not pleased about ,but at least it was only about £15 Arn't they the nippon alternators that normally sell for ten times that price?

I had a similar thing with Ebay and eventually Paypal got me the money back. All depends if the seller has anything in their account I think. |

Ah, sorry i havn`t been able to give you guys an update on mine, but it`s simply because mine is in bits again, but , it`s only in bits because i need to sort the machining/copying of all the conversion items to be able to package deal sell them,,,so,,, i have the new "Adaptronic" computer, the turbo, manifolds, intercooler etc is all ready & waiting & as soon as all my bits are back from the machine shop, then i`ll be sticking it all back together & in the car & doing a Rolling Road tuner-upper-thingamejig www.miniman.com.au
