If your talking fuel injection Cooper has a higher output engine courtesy of a higher compression ratio (different pistons) and a different ECU (different fuelling curves) from memory 50 Bhp versus 63

I remember reading somewhere that adding a good head, 1.5 rockers, HIF44 and a recurved dizzy to a stock sprite engine & cam, it's possible to get 80+ BHP. Very drivable too from what I remember reading.
For a start, the obvious is a stage 1 kit. It made a hell of a difference to mine!
Does adding that kit affect insurance dramatically?
I never did tell them........ Your choice, but I presume it would increase depending on your age and so on!

What I meant was 1992 onwards coopers are injection, all other models(Inc LEs upto October 1994) are carb. I say this because we have an Italian Job LE and a sprite which are both L reg cars, both are fitted with identical spec(needle and spring/jet) HIF 38 carbs
