Irish Mini Owners Club

hi i have been looking up some mad mods one grab me . A 998cc with bmw k1100 cylinder head on it running around 130bhp revs 9000rpm has anyone else see this and what do us think

Fast

One of the guys on here has a clubman with the K head ,but I am fairly sure it a'int a 998 and it a'int all that easy a conversion to do . Its Maxi I think

yes it's Maxi or he might be using the name 1275gt,
unfortunately Maxi's build has been fraught with set backs, and as yet I think is still not finished

ya that what got me thinking on it only one thing is stopping me build 16v head is mpg i have subaru already cant afford another 20mpg car

short block engines have 8v heads
big blocks have the 16v

the fuel economy would not be that bad, if you go injected you can tailor the system to your driving style.

What you want is a suzuki swift 1.3 GTI twin cam. They run on the smell of a fart and you know who to talk to about that one
