ahoy chaps and chapettes,
Ive just recently removed my sc12 and related kit from my mini as I replaced some loom wiring, and its got me thinking as to whether or not i want /need to put it back on again. So im in two minds but if someone would want to buy it for $900 ill let it go, if not ill keep it and put it back on again down the track.
As this has been installed on a mini already all the mods to the sc12 have been done. The only thing that wont be included is the the bottom belt wheel as i dont have the appropriate tools to remove it, but it shouldnt be too hard to get one from somewhere.
The SC12 itself is in great nick, the "blades" are in perfect condition and the kit itself looks a little worse for wear due to some paint chips, but its in 100% working order, just will need a cosmetic clean up.
Id put this in the for sale section but as im unsure if i want to get rid of it or not, i thought it best to try here first
If you want buy it or to know anything else just ask

Hmm, 1275 automatic plus supercharger sounds fun.

Probably accompanied by gearbox exploding. :lol:

you won't get 100kw per tonne from it - 90bhp at the wheels is 101kw per tonne

I don't think my car would have 90bhp atw

turbocharged or supercharged with a power to weight ratio between 100kW and 125kW per tonne and that is considered to be a family type vehicle (4 seats or more) rather than a sports type vehicle. A family type vehicle is a sedan, station wagon or hatch normally used to carry families/passengers with 4 or more seats and are equipped with child restraint anchorages. A family type vehicle does not include a sports car (two door coupe).


Where does a mini fit in this? Is it classified as a sedan? Wouldnt be a two door coupe and is not a hatch :?

To be honest simon i never knew that i just believed that all forms of superchargers and turbos where banned. That will teach me to read more carefully. So if i have a fairly standard 1275 i can run a supercharger? Another stupid question as i dont know how they work properly. Can one run a weber with a supercharger?

bloody kids today want to be spoon fed everything :roll:

a mini is classed as a sedan, but besides -

what was the original 'reason' for the creation of the mini?

how many seats are there in a mini?

you can run a weber with a supercharger, but there isn't much point, best carb is a HIF44

yes, a standard 1275 with a blower shouldn't exceed the power restriction. You could ask owners of cars with blowers on them what the power output atw is to confirm.

However, just like anything with the police, if you don't give them a reason to stop you, they (generally) won't. If you don't give them a reason to suspect that your car is modified, they won't look under the bonnet. If it's a nice, tidy car, and you drive sensibly, it's not an issue.

You're planning on putting your car on historic plates, which is even more reason for the police to ignore you.

If you're involved in an accident, and the police or insurance companies question the power output, you'd be smart to have a dyno sheet handy

Here's a question:

Will it fit a 998? :twisted:

Yep i think the only difference between putting it on a small bore and a big bore is the stabaliser bar, which you can get the appropriate one from '92'

This is likely a stupid question however:

You use a normal exhaust manifold right?
ie. Will my maniflow fit, or does it have an exhaust that comes with it to fit?

You may have just made a sale..

You use your exhaust, but i believe you need to trim the flanges a bit to squeeze the inlet manifold in.
