-

-

-
no.. i lied aha mk1 golf 20v turbo 200bhp
so your sayin the golf won then :laugh:
-
no aha im just curious as to what would be quicker a mk1 golf 20v turbo 200bhp or a mini 1.5 vtec standard
-
Well would need to know how much each car weights and the power of the Honda engine.
Then it comes down to tyres and driver.

wouldnt think there would be much in it but my cash would be on the mini still :smiley:
-
Is the 1.5vtec the 'standard' engine that gets dropped into a mini? I'd say the mini, they only weight about 700kg don't they?
-
yeah.. a lad up the road has done the conversion and recons it would kick the sh!t out of the mk1 golf 20vt.. i didnt agree aha :embarassed:

looking at a around 1 ton in weight for the mk1 with 200bhp against a mini at approx 750kg and approx 130bhp.
i say the mini gets spanked. it'll run out of steam :evil:
oooh way to go on the video of the stationary mini with the wanky music! :tongue:

What if you tune it 177HP? Then you are looking at surely a pretty equal if not a mini sided race. Quick off the line...

the mini in that video has the propper vtec engine in in, the one thats in the mini im on about is only the 1.5 out of a standard civic ( not even a type r )
my money was on the golf and he thought other wise so i was just curious thats all

I say golf..... If the mini had a proper motor in it then maybe it would do better but then I would wonder how well it could put the power down, especially if it has tiny wheels and tyres fitted.

if its a 1.5 its not even a proper vtec is it? thought they were 8 valve?? (lad had work had a "vtec" civic, kept telling my how rapid it was blah blah bla, opened the bonnet and it was a 8 valve. i nearly cried laughing.
i used to have a mini with 1.6 8 valve astra engine and nitrous, it was 125 bhp off the bottle (ported, bored, cam, head, exhaust etc.) and ran 75bhp jets so 200bhp on it. That was quicker than a mk1 golf with 200bhp but was HORRIBLE to drive :sick:

im hoping my mk1 20vt should be a bit nicer day to day, yet still have enough with 250bhp to make plenty look daft

If its a jap spec 1.5 engine it will be vtec and have 130bhp. If its a euro spec 1.5 lsi engine it will be a 8v NON vtec with 90bhp. Could be a uk spec 1.5 vtec-e which is economy vtec which will have 16v SOHC and around 90 bhp.
Any of them engines and I think the golf would win but the usual engine the mini world uses is the B16A which is a 1.6 vtec with 160bhp and I reckon this would piss the golf.
