1380 turbo running 180bhp

or that should be my project on the old clubman next year.

jammerrs · 19-12-2009, 07:49 PM

well vetec revs more but...zetec on throttle bodies for me

but an r1 engine in the front would rule all

zetaboostboy522bhp · 19-12-2009, 08:07 PM

zetec kev as i keep telling you rwd crazy fun

white2lsr · 19-12-2009, 08:49 PM

be a bit gay puting one in the front that why mate ,twin bike engine is the way forward rwd fun

fraser9764 · 19-12-2009, 09:47 PM

WHY! would you want to put an motorbike engine in a car?! a lad i know has a front engined R1 powered mini, and its not amazingly quick and the noise is just stupid.
take a look on 16vminiclub.co.uk vtec, 2.0 vaux engines, and the small block vaux engines, (im currently doing a 1.8 16v) are the favorite conversions. subframes can be bought off the shelf too.
try allspeed engineering. pricey, but all the R&D is done and they bolt straight in.

Good advice, came across one with other day with a 2.0 8V in the back. He said some of them put red top 2.0's in, 150bhp in a mini should fly!

AlexF · 19-12-2009, 10:06 PM

you can do 150 with better engines than an red top....

But if you want serious power try this...

zetaboostboy522bhp · 19-12-2009, 10:40 PM

here you go kev the fastest mini in the world powered by a 650 bhp area six motorsport zetec turbo and it aint far behind that hotrod either lol
get saving

Don't doubt it for a second, but it's just something thats cheap to but together and they're quite tunable.

How do they drive with the c20let?

AlexF · 19-12-2009, 10:54 PM

It does depend on what you want the mini to be after!!!

My c20let will be horrid to drive LOL

Steve's mini will be lovely
