ah ok JL yeah the old ma reckons he was out running cops around cornors and it top speed of 108 miles an hour was reached on numerous occasions... all fibs i say hes lookin at a few to buy but fark there xpensive espically some of the restored cooper S's

Hell yeah, genuine coopers are worth good $$$, mine is rarer but not worth quite the same dollars as a cooper. I have wound mine out to 165km/h which isn't too bad for a stocker, gets there pretty quick just runs out of revs. They aren't the best breathing engine. There is a nice supercharger kit made by lynx automotive in victoria that will give 115bhp, bolt on to a stock 1275cc cooper engine. With the right diff ratio that would be good enough for a 14 sec pass. I want it!

I washed my car but it's still dirty :)

you think that is bad??

i had to shampooed my car twice!!... spent 30 trying to get the chalk off...

Slip wrote 'Glenn The Spoon' on my windscreen!!! i cant go to the office like that tmr :)

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
