Just add a turbo for some real fun.
should be a proper nova killer.
RVF400
the hyabusa turbo conversion is 400 bhp thatll be a bike killer cus its all space framed cant wait im gonna give him a hand so i can have a rip
You can buy the subframe ready built. There was a guy on ebay sellin a mini with 2 R1 engines in it!
Current Mods:
Carenzi Crank and bearings
Kundo Exhaust
Derestricted Reeds
Mini iridium arrow indicators
Modified numberplate bracket so plate sits higher
Polished bar ends
Custom exhaust hanger (no footpegs)
Things to happen very soon:
Polish top yoke (or buy aftermarket 1)
sub frame costs 4000 to 5000 pound but with a bit of eldin an fabricatin we should make it fit to be honest two r1 engines would be too much hassel tryin to balance them out perfect and maintainin them especially if there on fuel injection
ye u can buy the subframes ready, search the internet theres a website that specialises in them. u can turbo the hayabusa engines up to bout 499bhp! what a killer 140mph top speed i think it is
was thinkin bout doin the same with a smart car
go to www.zcars.org.uk and they have converted a smart car plus if u need chassis details for the smart car i got em as the new mitsu colt is the smart car for 4 chassis with a different shell on
yeh thats the site that the guy had help from to build his twin R1 engined mini.

well were buildin a front mounted k series mini first witch has 130 bhp but still a rover engine then goin the whole hog gona be some quick minis when we have finished lol
a honda integra type R engine fits with some work and so does the 4wd system from a ford granada scorpio though you have to cut and reshape the main shell , my m8 did both these conversions and made a seriously effective hillclimb car , to have the engine fitted is about £4000 including engine , strengthening of chassis and all set-up , granada conversion was done by himself and some local engineering firm
www.v8mini.co.uk has some mad looking 3.5 V8's.
