No, you can't be made to fit vented discs. |

Nothing wrong with Cooper S discs, they were good enough to win the Monte Carlo rally, and 1966 Bathurst... I run them on the 1360, and never had brake fade around Wakefield Pk with Greenstuff pads. Not much else fits in 10s, legally.

excellent! well cooper s discs it is! i just didnt want to buy the setup without checking because if i needed vented rotors and calipers to suit it'd be an extra 400 pounds! |

Cooper S brakes fit practically any 10" wheel. This cannot be said for most of the aftermaket 4 pots and vented rotors. |

if it's +.060" with a 1098 crank, it's 1152cc. You want a crank no more than .010" undersize, with good radii on all the journals and NO cracks. |

Hmmm, another Turbo in Sydney... I like 
There is debate about how much power you can get with a 998 Turbo vs a 998 Turbo. I am going the 998 route... it will make as much power as 1100's ... just need to make sure its got the torque. Is the T2 standard or Hi-Flowed? What power you expecting? From what I can work out, with a strong crank the biggest worry (apart from head gasket) is the pistons. I know a certain 1152 Turbo with Hypatecs holding together extremely well... I think I'll go a different route though. Pete. |

Don't know what the rules are now but it used to be dual circuit (in NSW) brakes and two speed wiper motor. This meant late model master cylinder and lines but check with your engineer what the rules are currently. Brake size is up to you, I have stocko discs with 150+hp and Mintex 1144 (I think). It's pretty scary after being in a modern car as it feels like there is nothing, once I get used to it I like it better. Make sure you bleed the entire brake fluid out often, I found issues running with old fluid in the lines. For the engine build, don't go too fancy, you will break things. I would port out a 12G202 rather than use a 12G295. Also run a megajolt or similar ignition system, this will save your motor. Intercooler is now mandatory, I will throw a snickers bar at you if you don't run one

alas i know nothing of cranks would anyone suggest a good strong crank to use for the project? also im going to run 1100 040 hypatec pistons should i get them dished to lower the compression? i was looking at running between 6-10psi... also still trying to decide whether to run a megajolt setup or get one of the 123 distributors and put it on the predefined metro turbo setting... the turbo is a standard t2 alas not hi-flowed but what im really looking for is a decent daily driver with some useable power just a nice road car and i wasn't prepared to go the full conversion route yet... benjamin has kindly offered to fabricate the manifolds/dump pipe for me.. just need to get the rest of the bits sorted! |
