Hi I am a South African Mini Fan, new to this NG.



I am busy rebuilding my Mini's engine, a 1275 bored 40thou oversize bringing it to just over 1300cc. I am also going to fit a 286 camshaft,gasflowed 1275 cylinder head with stock valves and a lightened crank with a stock 998 flywheel.I am planning on running either a 1



3/4" SU or a 36 WEBER downdraft. Also I'll be fitting a LCB and freeflow exhaust. What I would like to know is: how much power (HP) could I expect at the wheels with these mods.

Thanks

You should expect in the region of 100bhp at flywheel and around 85ish at the wheels.

Stay with the SU as you won't need to modify the bulkhead to fit it as you would with the weber also you won't get much in the way of power benifit from the webber as with the SU coz all you need do is change the needle and play around with different sizes (5minute job)
