So a little update, we've managed after 7 years to finally go turbo it was the normal mad rush which you can see on the 1320MINI facebook page On the dyno it made 402whp at 7700rpm at 22psi on Sat afternoon just gone, we then took it to Santa Pod Raceway got teched, we had 1 qualifying shot on Sunday and this is what happened round 2 on Vimeo
It would have been impressive if they could have done a real burnout, had launch control and someone that knew how to shift a drag car. Other than that I guess it was good. :lol::devil: MINI's are for twisties not 1/4 miles.
I could beat that car in a 1/2 mile as long as we go 8th mile and turn around and race back. I bet that car can't stop or turn.
:wink::wink: It sure can! DaveO's now the poster boy for EBC YellowStuff since the flaming wheel Dragon incident.:wink::eek6::frown2::lol::lol: Jason
Hate to tell you this, but its holds the fastest MINI in Time Attack around a track called Cadwell Park & Snetterton on street tyres here in the UK, so it can stop and turn
:cornut: Nice to see some one else use their name instead of a 'handle'.(Loch Sloy, Scotland the Brave) Jason
Is this at its current build after the head was replaced because someone did not torque the head bolts correctly?:lol::devil:
Paul, don't pay any attention to Dave. He is our resident PITA. Every site has one. I like your "justa". Jim
Cheers Nathan So Saturday was going to be one of those nice relaxed dyno days.......we were going to dyno then rush to Santa Pod but as the weather had changed to being dry for Sunday we decided to have a relaxing day today. First off Thomas had spotted a leak from the car, so I actually had to work on the car for the first time, I quickly discovered a crack had appeared in the power steering pipe, so off it came and Thomas welded it up so problem solved. Next up was to fit The Knock Box so Thomas could listen and see if we were getting any det..........so this was installed and then onto the dyno. We had noticed previously that the oil had got water in it and in normal fashion come up with all the excuses good racers do that it was going to be ok........and it was upto 6k......but as soon as we took the revs up and increased the boost the mayo appeared......so even though the headbolts are all tight we believe the head is lifting Now this is where it got all a bit weird......myself & Thomas decided that we wouldn't go testing on Sunday for the fear of the water coming out and going on the slick and making the chances off putting in the wall high. So now the plan is to pull the engine & g.box as its booked in the Tueday 29th May after our bank holiday over here to get the bulkhead re-sprayed and obviously work a solution for the cylinder head / studs / headgasket. There was some positives as you can see by the amount of torque we picked upbetween 4700 -6600, this will defintley help in the first 330ft
