my cousin has a little mini, rebuilt engine with forged everything, ems computer, and t28 turbo sticking out of the bonnet, not street registered, has 9in wide wheels on the front and full flared gaurds to help traction makes about 200kw, never taken it to the track but will eventually, probably wont runa 10 but if he gets al 11 man im gonna build a mini for fun

i dont know

beacause the minis are so light it could be possible

but.................

it would have had to have drag slicks on at least to get it down in 10.1

and a huge motherass turbo with a wickedly tuned ecu tune/setup

you people are very naive.

i use to know a bloke with one in the 11s in the uk...

if you stick in a turbo or gassed busa bike motor, or a strong 1.3 mini motor turboed.

they are soo light.

11s and 10s arent impossible.

its just its not common.....

POWER - WEIGHT

Have just emailed a guy in the UK who builds a races minis for the quarter mile and while possible to do a 10.1 it would most likely need around 500bhp per tonne which is a little more than 150KW.

Here is his response to 150KW:

Only off a ****ing cliff doing a quarter mile downwards.

With 200bhp or less the best mini quarter mile time i know of is 11.7 seconds.

That was on drag hooisers, the car weighs less than HALF of what a standard mini does and it was the fastest FWD car in europe for several years.

(belongs to my friend carl)

That boy you are talking to has more chance of getting his car up his arse than getting it up the quarter that quick unless he is getting a tow off a top fueler or something!

That time is definately possible.

The car would have to be fully stripped, or more likely built as a tube frame, and running some pretty big numbers out of a turbo engine(I cant see 150 kw atw getting you there, but maybe), and with fat slicks. It all depends on how light it is. 400kg? 300kg? They are pretty f'ing light cars.

Also, changing the drivetrain of the car to RWD or AWD would help. I saw something on a mini panelvan/wagon that had been converted to rear-drive and it had a (I think) Rover V8 which was from memory either rear- or mid-mounted.

Don't underestimate the old things, a well prepped Mini would own a lot of decent cars on the right track.

I've seen a stripped out VW Golf GTI Mk I with two engines run an 11.something for the 1/4 mile. But a Mini running 10s... I seriously doubt it. A 150fwkW car will struggle to launch hard enough to get into 10s, there is not enough traction as the weight shifts to the rear of the car at takeoff. I know og a guy with a 150+fwkW Satria GTI (he claimed it went to 200fwkW but I never saw that dyno sheet) and the thing would never launch properly due to the weight transfer.

There used to be a blown 351 cleveland converted rwd with big ass tubs/slicks which used to hit the eastern creek drag strip back in the day i cant remember what kind of times it ran though prolly low 8's.

The driver sat in between the wheel arches in the car and the engine pertruded into the cabin.It was 1 mean ass mini.:thumbsup:

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
