122 hp without an intercooler... not too shabby.
 
what boost was that at?
 
I'm only over in burnham on crouch, when I get mine back together I'll need to get it on the rollers so may give at speed a go, how did you rate them?

Not bad at 8psi :) AtSpeed are really good mate, let them know you found out from me ;) see my Facebook page I have Piccys https://www.facebook...unTarltonRacing

Bit of an update on whats happened since the RR session!
Finished of the mini and had a very kind Scruiteneer come and check my mini met the 2013 msa safety regs, as the mini 7 racing club have opened up an invitation class to their awesome championships!
Www.mini7.co.uk
I will be competing with my mini in the mini Miglia championship so my next step was to go testing at mallory park, on the week leading to the test I managed to secure sponsorship from minispares and am very proud to have such a great company on the car and joining us on this awesome journey!
Below is an article I wrote on the test take a look...

It was a good day got some running in the mini felt awesome but had major fueling issues coming out of Gerard's high g long right hander, we found the problems but not before it was too late!! And suffered a loss of compression!!!

During the day I was lucky enough to have had a mag feature the car hence the lack of photos as they would like me to hold on till the release on which I'm waiting for a date i will let you all know!

Got the mini back pulked the head off to find the compression issue was a melted piston!! Pulled the engine out stripped down for rebuild so I'm waiting for my block to come back from the machine shop and have ordered a proper racing alloy tank with baffles and foam filled so to solve and more issues in the future check out our progress on the link below, we would live all your likes on the page ;)

Just looking back on my project, I really enjoyed it! And had a fantastic time with my turbo mini, I couldn’t have got through some of the dark times without all the great support, if I could do it again I would have put more photos up as I took so many!! I wish I hadn’t stickerd her up either, but live and learn she’s with her new owner of must be at least 4 years I went to to a race mini after this for the last few years winning the championship twice with her and will be putting together another one sometime soon!! So keep your eyes peeled as I would love to do another build thread.
