I'm doing a Stage 2 build up for about 450 plus hp.....Was just kind of looking for a heads up on a few things I might want to doing and looking out for.....Intercooler ???? If so do you have it plumbed in in the frt. or back by the lump...
Thanks..........Willieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

There have been a few turbos done before. Huddlesfield Mini Spares own a few and the original one done via Holeshot Racing and Z cars.

I'm no expert but i dont think you could get away with mounting the intercooler in the front.

The futhur the air has to travel betweeen the turbo and the inlet, the more lag you will feel and the more change the air has to cool down and expand, leading to a problem with pre-detonation (its got a name, i cant remember it)

But at the same time, you ideally dont want to mount the intercooler very close to the engine because of the engine being a major heat source. And also you want a good airflow into and out of the intercooler.

I only know that because i know a peep with an impreza who was gonna get a front mounted intercooler, but the guy at the tuning place said unless your running big power and need a huge intercooler, the normal one will be fine.

Hope it helps

Hyabusa turbo mini - thats my dream good luck, but think about this, why have one turbo hyabusa when you can have two

Now thats what I'm talking about....I'm getting all warm and fuzzy all over just looking at er..Great set up...Do you have fans blowing on the intercooler from air thats being ducted in from outside the car??? And or do you have this monster up and running allready ???????????

Thanks and Cheers Mate........Willieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...............
PS: I going to put that pic. above my head board..............

markrally.. that looks really really nice... how much are those to buy roughly?

[Jammy]

The Z Cars kit will be about 6k I think? Then the engine would probably be another 3k?

[Baldspeed Racing]

When I was at the NEC bike show Big CC had a ZZR1400 fully turbo'd up. That would make a mental mini build if that was stuck in the front or back

I was in TY croes (the anglesey race circuit) a while back and Z Cars were testing/setting-up a 1500cc turbod 'busa engined mini , NOTHING and i mean NOTHING could touch it

[Baldspeed Racing]

Fair play, sounds like a proper weapon

[Willie]

Man...I wish you had a vidio of that monster tearing it up...It has to be way cool....That rod must make passengers soil there britches....Thats what I'm going for........450 plus hp ???? Now thats what I'm talking about...This will shut down alot of unsuspecting motorist who think they can over take a little Mini..Bahhah.

I love the sticker on the back of the Huddersfield spares busa-

"Never underestimate a Mini"

Damn right!

[mini93]

you could use pipe ducting from the polly carb windows? to the intercooler or a roof scoop put holes into the boot or something so the air will pass outside, or if possible lowwer the cooler down bellow the engine(if theres room) and duckt up some air to it

Hey Willie,

When we talked last I think I mentioned that a few of the Stateside Corvette tuners do a rear mount turbo system for the C5 and C6 Vette....with the exhaust plumbing running from the headers to the rear of the car, the turbos are then put where the silencers were, back up to the front to an intercooler and then to the intake.

They claim WAY less than 1PSI drop across the entire system, with the net effect of all that pipe being a positive one as far as HP, with the passive cooling effect of the pipe being better than +25HP.

As far as turbo lag goes, I have it on good authority that there is none...as long as the turbos are light enough to spool up quickly in the first place.

Turn the above around 180deg (sort of) in your case with the turbo at the header, and the turbo outlet feeding a front mounted intercooler and the intercooler feeding the intake back at the motor, and you'll probably have not much more than 1/2 the pipe length of the Vette system given the vehicle size differences, passive cooling to boot with the tubing, and a very efficient cooler intercooler.

ZZZOOOOOM!

Here's a link from one of teh better Vette systems. Catch the show on Horsepower TV and you'll be sold on teh concept.
