Went to the rolling road yesterday and my car produced 50bhp at 5000rpm, I turned up with around 30 as my fuelling was way out and with the timing and fuelling sorted I gained an extra 20bhp and the drive home was amazing

My spec is

Std a series 998 block
Std pre verto gearbox
Std 998 head (with the main combustion chamber restriction removed, by me)
Duplex timing chain
Mg metro cam
Alloy inlet manifold
Hiff 38
K and n air filter
Aau needle
Maniflow manifold
Works cooper s exhaust

I got a video of one of the runs but the fan belt snapped meaning the run had to be stopped

You got any photos of the combustion chambers mate?

[minimk1]

I'll have a look

[minimk1]

No I don't have any however this picture shows what I have done perfectly, the picture is for a 1275 head but the principal is the same

Hello 

I would like to make this conversion to my mini, i think it will not be a problem to my dad to adapt the door hinges on my mk4, my dad was a professional on this area but right now he is retired.

 

Can you please tell me what parts do i need to buy?

 

Best regards from Lisbon ;)

 

Cheers

Jorge

i have sent you a pm

Fitted my std airbox recently and drilled some holes in the bottom of it and added a k and n element, this along with my new maniflow lcb makes the car so much quite inside, makes it run so much better and more economically and also makes the exhaust note a lot more raspy!!

 

Also i think it looks a dam site nicer than the k and n, and reallytidies it up
