I would go the rotor, because:
1. It might actually fit in there without BIG surgery to the body. Yeah, I have seen a VTEC in a Mini.. lots of butchery (no other word) needed.
2. There are a million people in Oz who can make a rotor GO.
3. It would have to be lighter, surely.
8) :P

for it to be legal you may have to go a 12a. Speek to an engineer to see what is allowed with a weight of 700kg in qld.

What gearbox/diff are you going to run? I would like to see a rotor powered mini.

Pac Performamce Mini, I can see it already.

it must have been a newly added. i havent seen it there before, but thanx for showing me :D . and for a rotor the cost is sooooo much cheaper. for a fully race prepared 13b it is $3500 with out bolt on goodies like turbo :wink: . but i will still see :)

F**K legality

Go a triple rotor.... 20B.... or custom build yourself a 13G.

Dump the twin sequential turbos, sell em.

Use a single T04 turbo
Use a programmable Fuel Injection Management System
6-coil ignition with dual spark plugs, 15 degrees apart.
Staged primary and secondary fuel injectors
Expect a reliable 500hp, or an unreliable 700hp

Oh yeah, and do the same setup in the back to power the rear wheels.

That'd get ya a total of 1000hp reliably. Just gotta find a good strong gearbox or 2 now eh?

MMM Nice.
