classic mini cg13 with GT1749v help.

[ninham]

I have got two cg13 engines to put in my mini. (only one at a time)
Home made subframe with shafts.

Would this turbo fit the engine and work quite well with the nistune board?

was hoping at getting around 130-140 bhp.

Would i have to get the corsa pistons to lower the compression?

You can't rebore the CG13 enough to fit corsa pistons!! The liners are too thin. The corsa piston trick is for the CGA3.

Thanks for the information,
How else could i lower compression without using two head gaskets?

you could open up the combustion chambers np, but i would,nt touch the quench steps tho

But you would need to make sure all the chamber would be all the same size and shape. Quite hard for me to do. Machine Shop might be an idea.
What C.R would I be looking for after the modifications? 8.5:1?

If I did go for two head gaskets could I add a small plate of aluminium in between to help with the sealing?

Decomp plate would do the trick, many class it as a bodge mind.

most of us ran stock c/r

So all standard componets I could run about 4-6psi?

Easily!

Where is the best place to buy a NIStune Type 4 Board in the UK. I am guessing this is all i need to run the turbo for ecu side?

 

[F3kka]

Nistune is one of the better options but any piggy back ecu; megasquirt, e-manage, apexi neos, dastek etc etc will work.

As for where to buy nistune Ed @ Fusion Motorsport
