Always boosts the spirits when you all put up more "Mini"

Well Done! I can't wait to see this in person. I like the Mid Canada Mini Group plaques. For those stuck in the middle province come check out the All British Car Show at the Forks on July 17th 2022.

A D16 is such a better choice than a B series engine.

Definitely going to D swap my mini when I get a chance, hopefully will be able to find a supercharger for the D series too! That'd be a fun little car

I think you guys should have a look at the Nissan cg13de conversions, I absolutely love mine and it fits the light touch modern upgrade to the A series theme really well, it's even a 1275cc! I was able to keep my inner wings and use the standard radiator position (no it doesn't overheat). Weight is the same on mine but I probably overbuilt my subframe so it could definitely come out lighter.

Very nice build. I'd be interested in some more detail regarding connecting the new engine harness into the existing wiring. Also, what did you use to source the 180 bend on the intake? I'm preparing to do this exact build on my 95 SPI. I assume the alternator is still in the fender, any clearance issues with the air filter?

Luv a mini. Second favorite car after Porsche 911.

I love the attention to detail ypu guys apply to your projects. Would a b16 swap be possible keeping everything looking as stock as this?

Another great video. This is such an enticing idea, what is the average cost of an engine swap.

@markthibault8579 2 жыл бұрын

Very cool build. How hard is it to find a good left hand drive chassis for a project like this?

First great video. What’s your Pros and cons, of a Mini 1380 High Performance Engine with 5 speed vs D16 Y8 VTEC engine, high performance reliable street/track use? I love the stock look of the 1965 Mini Cooper S. This one look tall? Thanks

Wow...so nice. Does anyone know how much this roughly costs?

Do you change the final drive to run the smaller wheels? If so, where do you get them from? I've been trying to get a 3.7 or 3.2 FD forever, with no luck!

@rajitdosanjh1533 2 жыл бұрын

Do you have a source for the engine build or was that in house? Great build!!

@kkppww91 2 жыл бұрын

Do you have any problems driving in wet conditions with the air filter being in the arch just above the wheel?

@donk115 2 жыл бұрын

Did the D16 come as an auto, and do you think the auto would fit? Perhaps maybe in a Clubman?

@hosrow Жыл бұрын

Curious, what would such conversion cost?

I’m looking to buy a mini I see they convert them over to Honda engines. Is it that the mini one is not reliable

@modelmania825 2 жыл бұрын

nice one , shame it's so high on it's suspension , should be a lot lower

@seanalexander9531 2 жыл бұрын

Or maybe it should be just that height because the person who owns it wants it that way?

@andrewk450 2 жыл бұрын

It's got new cones, they drop quite a bit in the first month or two. I had to keep winding mine up to stop it bottoming out until the new suspension settled, I wanted mine low, but you have to be patient to get final setting
