Hi Petex, for real mate?

[t@z]

haha thats got to be a quote !!!

i have a question about mini williams, is it a company or just somethign you decided to call your mini etc

[Miniwilliams]

It's not a company yet lOL

It all started off with a friend saying how the clio williams also has the gold wheels and blue paint, the idea came up from there really, funny though as the paint on the wheels and body work are not from the clio.

guys from my local mini specialists reckon its possible 2 get 220bhp @ the wheels

however, the engines will last about 2 meetings @ drag wars
( which is y i asked )

then itll need a rebuild and poss sum replaced components

good luck if ya going 4 it

[Miniwilliams]

Hi Yes it is possible, and any thing is if you have money! and the wear would be very great i would think.

[AlexM]

I supose if you are prepared to spend lots of money you could achieve that sort of power, as already said the autodelta mini have 210bhp and that was a 1460twincam (and interestingly mounted at a 45 degree angle.

The only way to have this sort of power and retain a practical car would be to change to a different angle unless you are prepared to get one off high load best materials imaginable componants to maintain drivability.

Its not quite a task of Veyron proportions though.

200bhp on 10psi?

[TJenkos]

Missed this bit,

the car is in immaculate condition with out a mark, i had the car rolling road tuned at peter baldwins were it made 185bhp but the run was aborted due to water loss, which was just a loose pipe in the end, but the engine will be pushing over 200bhp when its next on the rollers i know it will, as i still had 4 psi to go to take it to 20 psi, and the engine was sittig sweet were we stopped

[Tarks]

we shall see what a supercharged engine will put out soon!
its in progress!

[MaryQuant88]

Lot of work but what about a SuperCharger/TurboCharger mini engine

[minimole]

VW have done a twincharger type thing recently and it works well for them at least. i think the biggest problem would be fitting a supercharger and a turbo charger in the engine bay

[Mini Mad James]

do they have to go in the engine bay?
