Considering the classic Mini was made in the UK, and Rover did consider fitting the Rover K series engine into the classic Mini (project Minki) I cannot believe you missed off the most popular engine conversion going. :(
Seeing these are the reason I'm considering moving back to England. I've been planning some project cars over in Aus where I'm living now and the rules are just too strict here. None of these would be road legal without some SERIOUS paperwork and months of bureaucracy, and that's if you're lucky in the first place. But in England you can more or less do whatever you want, as long as it passes the annual check, which is basically just to make sure the wheels won't fall off, you're good :P
Can't wait to see that thing fire up. With all the tuning they've done on it, it'll surely be putting down 300bhp with little effort. And possibly up to 400 if they decide to crank the boost up. I used to own a 205 GT-Four so I know that engine can take it, so it's entirely possible. And with the 4wd, my god it'll be a dream! haha!
Shows us nothing. 10 views from inside the cars. Repetitive. The interesting thing would be seeing pics of the engine bay and general finish to see how the new engines got squeezed in.
Thank you very much! You are a nice person, who just want to help for others. This video was helpful for me. Accord 03 year 2.4 engine (right hand steering). Earlier my abs sensor turned to mad, and the abs, a triangle and the vsa light came up. We have swapped the sensor, the abs light gone, but the yellow triangle stand on without the vsa. The vsa button hasn't worked and the vsa light came up about 5 mins later. Every start was the same. I just want to sell my car, but obviously I couldn't because of this light think. I did everything step by step following this video and the problem was sorted at the end. Big-Big thanks. :)
Am intrigued by the more usable Nissan CG/CR Mini conversions (especially given Nissan's historical links with Austin) as well as the Toyota KR unit due to the latter being extremely light at 69kg (in spite of the Daihatsu KF weighing at 47kg and the Suzuki R weighing around 52-56.7kg respectively), though wonder whether it is possible to fit 1149cc Renault D-Type or 1380-1598cc K-Type engines into a Mini?
The most "respectable" swap is the metro turbo engine since it went in easy since it the same motor, you just had to work a bit of space for the turbo.
JAMES Live I've gotta 1980 clubman estate currently has a 1098cc manual, plan is to drop either a b16a2 or b18c4 engine in there, got most of the conversion understood just need to gather parts for it now! Good luck with yours!
A red and white mini cooper has been my dream car since I watched The Italian Job for the first time.... SO I FUCKIN BOUGHT ONE BITCHES! Bought a couple Hellas for the grille too, im just saving up for the mounts
BMW bought mini and made a boring looks like every other car car. They should have built on the legendary classic .BMW did like Disney destroyed star wars. these people are doing a much better job.
We're just gonna forget about MCM's classic JDM mini cooper Honda swap? That's a true sleeper and they needed a custom subframe to fit! You call this a must see list. Pshhh
@@crispincurtis8585 yeah! Seen a lot with the r1 engine that have been stripped down to about 500kg, and they move! 13.2sec 1/4mile which is pretty good. Track work is where they are best though.
Too bad. The engine swaps are obviously big even Hayabusa engine. No one has ever fitted a small 2 or 3 cyl engine swap taken from JDM Kei cars like Suzuki Alto or Daihatsu Mira.
Watched this hoping to find an answer to my question:- Has anyone ever swapped a BMW MINI Cooper S engine into a Real Mini? VTECs are soooo mainstream these days!
The main theme from this video is excessive speed in built up areas that is more appropriate for the race track than public roads in fact the 2nd mini starting at 01.10 overtook a large goods vehicle totally blind and drove across hazard lines in order to make the manoeuvre. I have to wonder how many of these mini owners actually told their insurance companies of the modifications. What they also forget is a 40 yr old car is normal exempt from British MOT and road tax but if it has been heavily modified these exemptions no longer apply. Google it, its plain enough to see.
Well isn't it what everyone does for the top 10 lists? Have you ever seen someone really film 10-20 cars and make these videos? You are one hellah funny guy!
@@MTLJack Like the post below .full of bull shit doesnt show anything.theres plenty of 3 4 mini tests if you look for them but where did you get 10-20 in your reply to me?seen as your only listing 10 .muppets alive.
i once saw a mini clubman with a front mounted opel omega v6 and rwd using a reliant axle. the work was brilliant. never got to see it in action.

In the day my 997 Cooper, with Piper head and cam, Weber 45 carbs, straight cut close ratio gearbox was 100 bhp on the rolling road.
I was there Ray.
the KAD twin cam is not an engine swap, its a 16v crossflow head designed for the A series block.
Thank you for pointing that out, i dont know much about Mini's :)
true, but at least it still SOUNDS like a Mini
And looks like the nicest B road eater.
I did a B16A swap a few years ago. Love it. Put 500 miles on it in the last couple days. Torque steer if you really stomp it.
With these swaps how hard are they regarding making everything fit and getting subframes like ? And where would you buy parts from tooo
Bad Obsession Motorsport will get Binky in here soon enough 😬

You have to look up the monster mini from Australia, it has a v8 with a huge blower on it
Look up tubship while you’re at it 😬 same thing purely built for burnouts
@@lomasclan there was also the Buick engined conversion. Tread on the hard peddle to fiercely and the torque would twist you off the track!
I would love to see your Mini Cars & Quads in the BaJa 1,000 !! The Whole World watches it
Not an event that's even televised in the Uk

Thanks for the credits.
Amazing worksmanship by the way :)
MTLJack cheers, thank you
Most of these look like they could do with a short shift kit
Im going to put a ktm super duke 1290 engine in my mini next year it’s going to fly
Did you do it
Damon in the process at the moment just gotta make some engine mounts and some more bracing to make it a bit more rigid

4:38 Dang how can you engine swap a mini and like such sunglasses at the same time?
Aannnddd his clothes and dangly boxing gloves match the paint scheme of the car. I guess we all know his favourite colours. LOL
Says the guy driving a del sol 🤦🤷
Yep, they were sure crap that's for sure.
MAD AS HELL LOL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ? .
The most "respectable" swap is the metro turbo engine since it went in easy since it the same motor, you just had to work a bit of space for the turbo.
TheThunderwars b16 Honda engine is reasonably respectable. Just minor cutting.
it was done by british Leyland. the ERA Mini Turbo.
I swapped a vw 2.0 in my mini. She rips!!🤘🏻💪🏻 #miniaf
Derek Klegraefe do you mind share any video of ur car please
Was it an easy swap
Is it worth it?
Duuude the same 2.0 I have in my 05 beetle ?????

Not really minis though. Just watched a twin turbo Morris minor. Bloody quick but not really a minor!
Just need a Toyota 4age in a mini
the black guy in the 20a or whatever...that muther was hawlin ass!!!!!!!! love what he did.
That's is just awsome.
3rd one cant even be called a mini. its a mini roofed spaceframe!
Ok I got a stock mini and i going to do engine swap what should it be it’s my every day driver

K swap to give reliability but plenty of power to weight plus you get the buffet of bolt one associated with honda
:O
wot!? I wish I had one!!
Super Cooper 500 HP supercharged Honda V6
Wait.....for me ! You missed my 850!
Damn !! do you have a link??
A red and white mini cooper has been my dream car since I watched The Italian Job for the first time.... SO I FUCKIN BOUGHT ONE BITCHES! Bought a couple Hellas for the grille too, im just saving up for the mounts
Vortec 3501999 congratulations buddy
Vortec 3501999 I could supercharge that for you
this or two blockes shoving celica gt4 turbo4+runnining gear in a mini
Look up Project Binky
@@BryanM63 dude....
I haven't watched it all yet, but if Project Binky doesn't feature in the top 1 or 2, then the list is wrong.
BMW bought mini and made a boring looks like every other car car. They should have built on the legendary classic .BMW did like Disney destroyed star wars.
these people are doing a much better job.
We're just gonna forget about MCM's classic JDM mini cooper Honda swap? That's a true sleeper and they needed a custom subframe to fit! You call this a must see list. Pshhh
All engine converted Minis need a custom subframe... They bought a kit and bolted it together, it wasn't anything special.
video has a b18 swap, MCM put a b16 in.
That build literally wasn't anything special though💁♂️
Pretty sure even the1st R1 had way more than 125hp
Usually dyno at 125-135hp at the wheels, 150-160hp at the crank.
So,,enough to get ya to the store and then 😊
@@crispincurtis8585 yeah! Seen a lot with the r1 engine that have been stripped down to about 500kg, and they move! 13.2sec 1/4mile which is pretty good. Track work is where they are best though.
That's pretty good for a bike transmission, and pushing that extra weight, that's awesome
Have you had any issues with transmission malfunction
Too bad. The engine swaps are obviously big even Hayabusa engine. No one has ever fitted a small 2 or 3 cyl engine swap taken from JDM Kei cars like Suzuki Alto or Daihatsu Mira.
The Honda B18C fits nicely inside that engine bay though!
Project binky
Watched this hoping to find an answer to my question:- Has anyone ever swapped a BMW MINI Cooper S engine into a Real Mini? VTECs are soooo mainstream these days!
Derek Nicholson ive never seen a swap like that! The Honda B-swaps are popular because they work and they work well
I know that rotary powered mini. Here's a clip of the same car with a wrap on

I bet you’re really fun at parties.
@@snappyaj9053 made my day :D
Most are just rubbish. Barely looking like a mini anymore

All this guy has done is go thru you tube and find little bits about minis .pretty crap really.Even the way hes listed them isnt in correct order.
