its all kept at north, so doesnt show up on the mini spares website as stock - the main branch have to request a set when ever they need one.

small update

first batch are getting cnc'd, then one will be choosen at random and thrashed on the test motor - if all goes well (and there is no reason it shouldnt), then the 'button will be pressed'

Image

its been a long time, and a lot of hassle, but this uk designed, developed and made product will be the best it can be.

mr e.dyno :lol:


its getting run up on a proper engine dyno for mapping / development purposes - and has been / will be getting filmed.

once its 'signed off' it will be fitted to a car and run up on a normal dyno and filmed.

people will be then able to see all the data and see the difference between the engine dyno and the power at the wheels plus the suitably impressive torque curve.



there was someone on the turbo forum selling a tidy metro less the engine, i did suggest buying that and using it as a test mule!! :lol: :lol:
