mini with a little bit of micra

I find jb weld very good putty and sealed my split sump from years ago with no hassle

Do you drive this Mini daily by any chance? Or have you been recently?

Was driven daily up until April this year. Its currently off the road whilst I plan some upgrades

Well one year later the Micra is getting scrapped, time to dust off the mini

Today has been spent thinking about improving the driveability with the ITB's. Looking at the data logs its reaching WOT at just over 30% throttle which confirms the ITB's are oversized.


Currently I'm not running any velocity stacks sooo my first option is to make some velocity stacks but I'm planning a slight change to normal as they will insert into the ITB's and hopefully the reduced inlet size and extra length will improve things.

Quick drawing to get an idea



If that doesn't help I'll pick up some smaller ITB's

that should move wot higher up eh moving the high vacuum area upstream might upset the resolution at part throttle tho ?

 

[l_jonez]

Not sure, going to give it a go and see what happens.

Well the other project mini is nearly finished ( b16a2 VTEC swap) which means I can get on with the Micra mini.
