Hi , i have been looking for an engine for my Mini cooper s turbo 2007 and there not cheap!
What i would like to know please is i have been offered a mini 2008 1.6 engine non turbo and i was thinking is the engine the same as the cooper s? and i can bolt my turbo to it?
I can't be 100% sure but I think the innards may be different i.e Crank and cam shaft. If your in the UK have you looked at Minitech spares who are based in Bury, Manchester? I've used them in the past and have always had a first class service from them
Mini Cooper R56 engine type N12B16BA ( year 01.2008) Mini Cooper S R56 engine type N14B16A ( year 01.2008).I looked at realoem.com for more details you should compare what will fit from one to another, I am not sure.
Many thanks for all the post, so ill keep looking for a cooper s engine , i will get round one day to try and strip the engine to see how big the problem is, i found a print out from the bmw dealer , car came in, will not start, and 4lt of oil was missing from the engine to top up!!!! any thought what might have been damaged?? crank probably 100%?
