I'd think so. Labor is expensive; it sounded like a lot of work goes into the cars prior to sale, since they essentially are built to order.
Again, I agree. Unless one was dealing with a really small exhaust turbine....a standard T3 or TDOH-16 would be one laggy mofo. :thinking:
Granted, it's been nearly eight years since I saw the ad in a Brit classic car mag. In reality, a better turbo is probably a weed-whacker K03 or somesuch. :doh:
Still, it'd be interesting. :rick:

I know MiniMania has a s/c kit for the 1275cc engine. puts down about 125hp. not bad for a 1600lb car

I wonder just how much torque the rest of the drivetrain will take, though?
Or in other words, does [170hp, 150tq ] / 1600 lbs = enough? :rick:

ehhh not sure. I know the racing minis were around 100hp or so. they have a racing 5-speed dog leg (i believe) tranny but that's $3500bucks... if you can find one.
i could just say screw it and do this :rick:
