Noobie. Mini with a Vtec JDM B16A

[Dutchy1978]

Very nice, so when are u buying a supercharger? í*½í¸œ

I actually have an Eaton M45 supercharger which was mounted on my mini engine but I just don't have the room under the bonnet with the B16 installed. It was a struggle getting it in with the mini engine.

So very cool, such a tight fit aswell, I'd love to have a mini one day (among a million other things) but I don't see it happening but it's good to know stuff like this is out there

Plenty of info out there.
Forums and websites.

Just to name a few.

Progress on the car at the moment is a bit like building a house. Right now I'm at that stage where heaps is getting done but from the outside it looks like nothing has changed.

Brake lines done. Some creative bending to make it fit.
Drive shafts together
New wheel bearings installed
New brake discs
New 4 pot minisport calipers
Suspension fitted

Bit by bit it is still coming together......slowly.

After reviewing the feedback on some other mini forums I decided to modify the accelerator pedal to reduce that on/off switch feeling that people are talking about. I took an inch out of the top and added it to the bottom and raised the mounting point.
I extended the short shift Honda gear lever and installed it for the last time. Hopefully.
Radiator, wiring and a few other bits and pieces installed.

I also purchased a set of minivation bonnet hinges to make it easier to work on the car in the future without removing the bonnet.
It's off to get the exhaust done now.

Another update.

As my engine was so far forward I had to get the exhaust custom made from headers right through.
The headers were made in two pieces to allow for easy removal. I also had them wrapped to protect the front grille and paintwork from the heat.
It then flows to a collector with 02 sensor, Flexi joint, custom cat, resonator then to the straight through Playmini muffler. I'm looking forward to hearing it when it's up and running.

Hey mate have you measured up the bore of your front brake caliper pistons ? (for engineering) ?

I also have a chambered muffler in case I can't stand the noise. Also need this for engineering.

Yep. Have both 2 piston and 4 piston out in the garage somewhere. Required for engineering at my end too.
