Post subject:  Mirage in a mini?

what i'm thinking of doing is shoehorning a mirage engine into a clubman.

heres a few links i've found totry and figure out if it will fit:

http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/18624/
http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/18640/
http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/18637/

i've had mixed reactions from my mates who own minis and mirages, including one who races both. so i'm wondering will it fit a clubby, moding of the bay is expected, it wasnt build for a mini, so generaly speaking.. possible?!

my original idea was the 4g63 (aka lancer Evo) but i think i'd need a moke for that.... :P
i've talked to a few people who race they were 50/50 and so far i'm 50/50 on it which is why i'm bringin it here..

why put a mirage motor in there at all?? may as well put a hyundai excel motor in there even there got more power......

Trust me there slugs, missus had one and i think her 1098cc mini was quicker.

If you have to go a 1.6L mitsubishi motor then makka is right get the mivec twin cam jap version with 150hp.

I saw this add not long ago.

well i think i may soon have access to a cyborg engine (mivec) it aint an easy motor to get hold of, with only 4 'new' raceing mivec's beeing made avalible in the last 8-9months from japan, but i think i have hooked one from a mate who is reciving one of the 'new' ones, so it wont be perfect but nothing ever is.
basic specs:

now to go measure... and decide if a turbo is worth it on a mivec

A turbo is always worth it - they might not let you register it though!

i'm a bit divided on that one awdmoke... i'm a supercharger man myself, so the cross to the dark side of hairdryers.... :shock:
yea i think the problem i'll have is trying to put too much power into the mini and convincing them that its safe! well that and the insurence costs :shock: i'm still under 25 :P

its more than likely possible but as a few have said... it would be more worth a twin cam excel,or the MIVEC motors

Back when I was 13 years old and in to the Fast and Furious, I used to buy Hot 4's mags (my dream car at the stage was an S13 Silvia, I'm glad I saw the light on that one! :oops: :lol: ).

Anyways, there was a "Mivic Mirage" which was supercharged. It made 210hp atws, or so it says at least. Pretty good, but a 4EFTE can make 200hp atws going all out, if not more hp, maybe?

Why not try the Nissan SR16 Neo VVT engine......

Nissan Pulsar N15 SR16 VVL Neo- good engine. 8500rpm and over 200HP naturally aspirated!

Look at the laws in your state, see whats possible and simply go for what will fit with the most power :twisted:
