Interesting build. when I lived in Crewe 8 years ago I built a 998 turbo with a Metro T3 to an almost identical spec to yours. The drive was interesting, shall we say. No power until 4k, then 140bhp, and all out of puff at 6k.

I was running a very low CR though, if you run a highet CR and less boost it will be more progressive.

Have fun.

Ayup Will,

140bhp you say
In what way was the spec diffrent to your build?
i was hopeing for the 100bhp mark, how do you make 140?
What was the CR?
What Psi boost were you runing?
Sounded like a fun little pocket rock you had!

If you have any suggestions to the spec im planing(keeping on a lowish budget) fireaway!

(sorry for all the questions)

Hi Luke, didnt realise you are a member of the missiles, do you live in crewe?

Looks like a great mini your building their mate, you've got some skills! I need to get my arse in to gear learning how to weld, ive got a brand new mig welder in my workshop but ive still not used it yet.

Loving the idea of a 998 turbo, I was gonna go down this route but I decided to build a normally aspirated 1310cc instead.

Did you get hold of a flywheel puller?

and oh yeah forgot to add, i gave the 1275 head a nice new coat of paint. bmc green of course!
the head is ready for a bit of porting next i think. then refit the vales

I see you opted out for the extra 20bhp and 5psi you get from painting it red

[luke666222]

well there still is some bits of red paint left on the block and the head is red under the green, so do i still get my extra bhp? lol

[RossKnight]

Ah it's a bit of a sleeper engine then... I'm sure you'll be pushing 160 at least
