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:

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
