have you drove it yet? what did you do for inlet manifold?

are you on mini forum matt?

Hi matt, I'm running a stock 1275 k11 motor in a classic mini, its on a four branch manifold and a one off inlet manifold.however i would like a bit more power. i was thinking of cams and maybe a megajolt ignition. Any advice/prices would be appreciated

excellent! i may go for cams and stuff in the winter. u certainly know your stuff! i'm impressed

true

ha ha i didnt mean actually find, i meant as you drove it, did you think it was revving high for the speed you were doing!

is yours in a mini too? if so how do you find drive ratios?

dont know! is rs5f30 the code for the diff and not the full gearbox?

so a micra diesel or almera 1.4 box will bolt onto my 1993 cg13 engine and is not physically any bigger?

ok cheers thanks for all your advice. looks like i'm sticking with the final drive i have.

as said earlier 90 on sat nav. that was straight there, no waiting. its probably quick enough in a mini but i cant help thinking it would pull something like a 3:1 or 2.7:1 final drive without losing much acceleration. sitting at 3500-4000 revs keeps up with everything on motorways with nothing...

i didn't want to cut any of the shell. vtec conversions cut a lot of the front end away and i would imagine they don't drive like a mini any more. the CG engine gives a big increase in power and weighs less than the a series engine. the car with this engine in still feels like a mini and is...

I'd imagine with the inlet / exhaust mods and stock motor I'll have somewhere between 70 and 80 bhp. To get this out of an a series motor would cost a bit and reliability would become an issue. Also ive got an extra gear over most mini's.

Like i said, I dont want to spend loads. If theres nothing from other micra/nissan models i could use i'll live with it the way it is. After all its a huuuge improvement over what i removed.
