Just re-shell it for something to do if it's fucked.

probably are. its not got a turbo yet anyway, so if the shell is sound, i'll get hold of another engine and put a twin weber on it

turbo means more power though, much easier

My brothers 1293cc fast road spec Mini ran twin 40's for a bit, could never get them set up and running right.

Depends if it was uprated to accomodate the turbo or if it was a bolt on jobby.

its a 1 litre mini, with a metro turbo (1275) engine in it, minus the turbo

that means, all i need is the turbo, as the compression ratio is lower in the engine already, so i dont need to change anything

but the shell is a 998 mini, not that that makes a difference...

3CM, yes, i am hoping thats all it needs, and im hoping the shell isnt rotten

but at that price, if i have to split it, ill make a profit

Eck, carbs are the second option if i cant find a turbo before Trax
