    Another Turbo & clutch question

    I'm guessing 140ft/lb max on the standard engine.. I've spoke to Matt Humphries and his 200mm kit is about £500. I was hoping for a cheaper solution. Maybe a ga16 kit and redrill the standard flywheel. It's aparant it get very costly if I'm wanting anymore than 140bhp. Which I don't really need...

    Another Turbo & clutch question

    Time as come to turbo my cga3. It's currently fitted to my classic mini and making good power with a 4-1 manifold, custom Plenum and aftermarket ecu. I'm sticking with the standard engine for the time being, hence keeping boost at 4-6psi due to the coilpack piston strength. I guess about 140bhp...

    My cg13de powered Mini

    I've no doubt they would, but I'm willing to sacrifice a few bhp for a civilised drive. The car honestly feels quick enough for now.

    My cg13de powered Mini

    Thought I best update this.... I ran the Throttle bodies for a few hundred miles, but I eventually got tired of the consistent induction noise, especially on long motorway journey to work. So decided to fit a specially designed long runner inlet manifold & plenum with a 48mm Rover Throttle...

    Turbo charging cga3 v cg13

    Thanks for the info. So the cg13 would be a better choice then? How do the corsa Pistons work? I've got a spare auto cga3 engine for the long term turbo project.

    Turbo charging cga3 v cg13

    Im about to start building the exhaust manifolds for my turbo conversion in my mini clubman. I've already got the inlet manifold and bigger injectors sorted. The plan was to use the currently fitted cga3 1348cc engine in stock form and run 4psi - 7psi with the GT1752. However I'm a little...
