zep Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 If you're going to do something like that, I suggest an Uno Turbo engine, 1.3 or 1.4 both go hard as nuts. Plus, it'll save me having to do the conversion myself one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacov Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 how about rebuilt the 1275 mini engine and slap a turbo on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushrod Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Did we get metro turbo's over here if so they got A series turbo engines in them nice easyish swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kornstar Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 why not work the fu*k out of a 1275, that way its still mini and could save heaps on cert costs... i mean does the average wof man no the diff between a 1000 and 1275, and a fully worked 1275 would piss on all the above. almost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WESTCORT Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 ill let you know how my 1300 goes, if i get the pistons this week (cheers kyteler! ) then i should have the bottom end built within 2 weeks leaving me just to finish off my porting and polishing as soon as i find another drill cause i fried the one i was using..

zep Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 The Kent 1300s are RWD engines tho, I'm not thinking they would work in a FWD application... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 bore and stroke a 1275 out to 1440, deck 80 thou off the pistons, build a custom turbs manifold and run a t25/t28 hybrid straight cut 6 speed gearbox from aussie, mad disc brakes, blah blah blaH AWESOME or work a 1275, bore it to about 1380 or something, twin 1.5" SU carbs, mad cams tits as!!

CaMpylobacter Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 pffft, with the gearbox, it'll be fine standard...... back in the day they only put straight cut gears in, and that was just to get the extra 4hp that they drag out.... I know a few race guys that use fully standard gearboxes, they have no problems, just dont be a homo and try and do burnouts everywhere-any car that does that ends up fucking their box, on minis, just make sure you do regular as servicing (i used to change my oil every 3000km) and if you're gonna work it at all then get a decent oil cooler, since the engine and gearbox share the same oil it makes it alot harder to keep the oil in good cond and cool temps putting a kent in it would be a step backwards, after spending all that money, you'd wind up with the same horsepower as a 1275 engine, and it'd be even harder to work on holla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
