Howdy,

Got these photos from Graham.
This motor has 165ft/lb of torque from 4200RPM
It increased to 178ft/lb @ 7000RPM and the correction factor was 1.029 (so 244HP!!)

There was a slight prroblem with a sticky solenoid... the solenoid sticking caused the boost to bump up to 21.8psi and it produced 186ft/lb before the throttle cable was released! Graham dumped the throttle cable.

Pics:

>>>>>>>REMOVED AT REQUEST OF OWNER<<<<<<<

Cheers,
Peter.[

Won't be very fast with that torque and an A-series box. :shock:

BL reckoned on 94 as the "warranty" limit for metro turbo, hench the electronic boost limiting.

Looks like an interesting set-up, go the A-series.

PS - What correction factor was used? SAE?

Graham said it's a Rover or UK shell with a Zeemax kit, so yeah it does.
A hole or 2 may be needed for intercooler etc but yes the turbo & plumbing fits up into a standard bay. No `turbo box' required. 8)

Some real work has gone into this puppy..... :shock:

Well Warwick Agustin has campaigned a fast race Mini for many years with a Toyota 4-AGE? chain driving a Mini box, he duels with the VTEC Minis like Borg's out there and it doesn't shed boxes... :lol:

A 4 synchro Mini box will stand 180+ HP, for how long IS the question. This turbo beast is in a road car so probably won't get caned after the initial euphoria. 8)

The correction factor used is for air temp ( & maybe humidity?) and barometric pressure on the day. :wink:

Engines are run complete with exhaust system, but minus the alternator and fan. Tank cooling is used.

That is an intricate & well set up turbo.
Awesome figures, hope it justifies the dollars spent 8)

Location: Sydney - strangely, I am glad of the sight of hills!!
been wondering when that thing was going on the dyno, its been sitting there for ages.

Warwick broke a drive shaft at the last meeting at Wakefield. it lasted 15 years, and was a modified Morris 1100 item. That is the first breakage that he has had in 15 years in the drive train. mind you it has a holinger straight cut gearset in it. i remember him getting real excited when it arrived at his workshop during the build of that little beast.

cheers
michael
