currently building a turbo 16v classic mini using a mixture of original A series engine bits and a BMW k1200 RS cylinder head. on Instagram as @rsp_turbo
Amazingly the bore spacing is very close to identical. And the physical size works with blank of all the existing stud holes up and redrilling the block.
That’s an interesting combination, does the head match fairly closely in standard form I presume? Do you have any other platforms I’m not on instagram
Same.
Cool build! Have you seen Jooshy’s (ex-Auto Alex chief mechanic & bodge wizard) mini he built on his YT channel? Similar kind of look.
Also, that is a NICE workshop… don’t think mine will ever be that clean.
Thanks man! Yes I've seen that build it's a good one.
The garage is certainly a lovely palace to work!
Certainly puts my unit to shame 😅 one day it’ll be nice… one day 😂
Hi sorry, just on Instagram.

I’m amazed that it’s a close fit, good luck with the build!
Hey, where is the front splitter from?
It's a custom carbon one made from a mold taken off an original 80s RGM one. Had it done by carbon weezel.
Mate this is sick, I’ll definitely be following!
Cheers man!
Just given your IG a follow, incredible work mate
Cheers bud! I try my best.
This is wicked. Post on here every so often for us to Cream over
,😂😂 will do
Cool build, I try and avoid IG so would appreciate your progress pics on here too. What sort of power are you hoping for?
I made 244 on the 5 port head, we're going to push this over 300
You’ve got my follow!
Thanks!
