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:

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
