CCGTI MK3 now with pictures

[Seanl]

engine wise as its only done 86000 really fancy doing a eaton charger, you can more or less get a full set up for £200

Looks good mate, cant wait to hear more on the Eaton!! Would love to do something like that on mine for such a small price. Will be eagerly watching!! 

Your going to need a bigger budget than £200 to fit a Eaton 

Probably, but not much more than £300 if you do it yourself I expect. Far cheeper than doing a conversion I reckon as well

[CCGTI]

found 1 at local scrappers my mate runs he said he would do 1 for £150 mates rate as a cooper had just come in so told him to hold it, joys of having 4 scrap yards all within walking distance and knowing everyone in them as i feed them everyday

Just out of interest other than an eaton charger what other parts would you need for a diy conversion?

[CCGTI]

if you look at mk3 maintance there is a thread there my mate also on the forum is an engineer so that helps

[Wayne]

Lot more than just bolting the charger on, you need to drop the compression plus the standard mangement will only be so good before you need standalone, by the time you have made all the brackets etc.

Also the M45 off a Mini is not really up to the job, it is designed for up to a 1.6. M62 needed for a 2.0

Well wayne dont lose sleep mate, and allow people to have some fun

[Seanl]

There are a couple on ebay in the US for around the same price for an M62. Not sure if I would risk it but they are very rare in the UK and easily twice as expensive!

I will not lose sleep over it  with the greatest of respects I don't think you really know what is involved in supercharging an engine.

[F17BAD]

your gonna need extra or different injectors if you wanna run over 7psi, possible new management too, otherwise Bang goes your engine.. more thought needed on this one pal but would be great project

[CCGTI]

Wayne pritty shore i have seen u b!tching about peoples build threads befor if im not in correct, you would be really suprised what i know and i dont know, most of my family and friends work with cars in some form or another, plenty of free advice to be passed on and you would be be suprised if you have respect for somebody and are willing to learn you can do a hell of alot

for a start old school mates who are mechanics
my cousen is a porsche tuning specilist
alot of mates who are engineers and 1 hand makes car parts for high performance cars and is a walking haynes manual, so always handy for knocking something up
1 mate runs a scrappers which always has minis and loads of german cars coming in

So i think with all the knowledge i have at hand will keep the cost down
