I am having a mini one and i would like to know is there any turbo kits for mini one? If install can you please let me know how much will it gain also please let me the price and the shop or website

Rakey · Jun 6th, 2006, 10:02 PM

yes there are, but I doubt the gear box would be able to take much more than the power of the standard Cooper, so why not just save yourself the risk and bother and order either a Cooper or a Cooper S

UKC4 · Jun 6th, 2006, 10:06 PM

Buy a cooper or S... by the time you spend all the money doing your car up you will have spent enogh to buy a cooper or an S also buying on S will solve all machanical errors that may occur.

S33BBY · Jun 6th, 2006, 10:53 PM

Yep, this seems to be the general response. Though possible, it makes much more sense to just go for the S.

That is also very true, i ahve already had a new gearbox, and my car is standard!!!

bclinch · Jul 14th, 2006, 05:38 PM

i am also very interseted in getting my one turbo'd for all of those people who keep saying about blowing the engine and gear box up its not just a case of bolting a turbo on i intend to get a uprated box and full uprated internals. what sort of psi do the garret t28 turbos boost though ?

*Vikki* · Jul 14th, 2006, 06:00 PM

if you can stick a honda v tec engine in a classic and loads of other engines i am sure it can be done to a new MINI fine! just a matter of time for the new one!

Crouchy · Jul 15th, 2006, 10:29 AM

As regards to the gearbox ive heard a cooper s gearbox can easily be put on a mini one.

There is already someone putting a v8 in a mini one.

djtonto · Aug 29th, 2006, 07:19 PM
