Parts List

This is the list of parts that we need or already have have for the turbo mini project.
Don't take this as the definitive list - it's just what we're using and as it's not finished yet
this is probably not complete!

Further info. sections:

Cooling
Exhaust system
Intercoolers

Air filter and Pipe - A generic cone filter will be used connected to a length of pipe attached to the turbo.got it!

Bulkhead box - a turbo spec engine will fit fine into the Mini, the turbo unit itself won't though. Welding in this box is the easiest way to create the extra space.got it!

Electric cooling fan - an auxiliary cooling fan will be wired up to provide extra cooling (esp. when the car is in traffic) got it!

Engine and gearbox - we'll be using an A-Series turbo engine and gearbox from a MG Metro Turbo.got it!

Exhaust system -a 2" system will be used, connected to the turbo downpipe available from Maniflow. got it!

Fuel pipe - of the correct 5/16ths diameter, also a fuel filter.got it!

Fuel system - a standard fuel pump won't do. A roller vane fuel pump is needed along with a fuel pressure regulator and a return pipe to the tank. We'll be using a late type injection tank with a pump built in. got it!

Gauges: Boost gauge, an oil pressure one as well probably be useful.got it!

Mini - The Mini we'll be using is a 998cc 1985 model. But any will pretty much do!got it!

Oil cooler. got it!

Radiator - An uprated 2 core radiator, the original will NOT be up to the job. Uprated six blade mechanical cooling fan. A Cooper S top bracket will be used. got it!

Some uprated engine steadies would be good as well.got it!

Turbocharger - Garrett T3 turbo unit will be used, also from the Metro Turbo. got it!

Thermal insulation wrap- help to get the heat from out of under the bonnet. got it!

 

Hmm, lots of other bits i've forgotten too...
