Awesome, have a sub! I had a 1340cc fast road engine built here in the UK about 15 years ago, with the 'economy' gearbox it would do 120mph whilst screaming its little heart out. Not much would keep up with it around the twisty back lanes of England and it probably only had around 70-80 wheel horsepower. I'd love to try a turbo kit, it could work out much cheaper than having an engine 'built'.
9:13 Are you recommending the yellow spring now? When I brought mine down to be dyno'd paul took out my yellow spring and put in the lightest spring he could find. Btw, still runs great and I love it!
Light or standard springs are usually fine in engines that are generally driven under 6000 rpm (in just road use) and will usually extend the valve train life quite considerably. Unfortunately regular racing usually means regular strip downs! 😁
The only advice for you that is correct is based on your actual engine specs. Don't take general advice when it comes to spring and oil choice for YOUR carb. What is your engine spec?
I'm mighty impressed with that twin cam setup. Who worked out the k series bmw head would fit? I would have to agree with the other moaners about the video inserts - highly annoying! But otherwise nice video. A lot of people dont like classic minis to be messed with, but they're not exactly rare (mk1 & 2 cooper and S excepted). I had a 1380 Avonbar in an austin metro many years ago and that was about 80hp at the wheels, so im guessing the twin cam is somewhat detuned for driveabiliy/reliability?
Hi Mike yes I also love the twin cam conversion on an A series block idea. (Very similar in concept to Colin Chapmans Lotus Cortina engine back in my day)..
Having owned an Innocenti Mini Cooper 1300 Export for 20 years, in the '70's, 80's and 90's, mainly for use in the congested, sometimes very hot Athenian city driving, my experience on these is considerable. I think, just as I did, the very first tweak on these cars is addressing the engine overheating problem. I recall having dealt with this issue quite successfully. Once this inherent problem has been solved, the next consideration, when thinking of tweaking a classic Mini is, will the tweak one is considering, exacerbate this already crucial overheating problem? In an already overcrowded engine compartment?
Great work Jeremy and the team at Jet, always a pleasure working with you and seeing what you create, if you have a customer that need some real 16v power let me know 🚀🚀🚀🚀
Depends on the spec of the twin cam, some of them are 180+, but TBH with an A series its pointless going to that power with either turbo or twincam as they just dont last. 3 bearing crank etc.
@@sjc75vs I and many others have run the a series reliably over 200 bhp, well over in fact. They need to be built right and well maintained but are more than capable.
If you use it hard at that figure, even with an arrow crank etc the flex in it due to the 3 bearings mains just isn’t going to last long. So it depends on your idea of what constitutes reliable I guess. Anyway enjoy your car.
@@sjc75vs this other guy is trolling😂 no videos of his monster build daily reliable mini, and he missed the guy saying this is a turbo kit on a stock a series with no head work. both seem like lovely builds, the specialist component kits are really good.
Great video as always, but really man those meme clips in between are rather disturbing
10:30 What revs are you shifting at?

Best video so far. Love the twin cam sound! Lets supercharge the twin came!

@@philtucker1224 Are you talking about valve springs? I was talking about the piston spring in the carb.
@@briangrant2426 yes Brian, my bad buddy. (We sold sets of yellow valve springs at my old company) 😁
@@philtucker1224 Ha ha. No worries.

Two fabulous little cars, don’t know which I’d rather have.
They’re fairly short Lofty, so you might have room to squeeze them both in! 😁
Brilliant video 🤠😎
Hey Jeremy, looks like a little smoke on hard accelerator, easy fix. LOL. Looks good, sounds awesome.

@philtucker1224 I'm pretty sure I've heard of someone trying to marry a single ohc head from a hillman imp to an A-series too!
I love the NA Specials Compnents convention. Definitely like to do one
I want the turbo with the twin cam interior and LHD. Thanks!
Mm . . . 9 days now and still no answers on any of the questions ?
Best job in the world for sure ! Are they both running the same final drive? And what is it?

if you want the full showdown, you need to add the supercharged blue mini mpi!
Still smoking, even after you moved the breather ! I definitely wouldn't be happy with that.
What's the colour of these pair of beauties??
A trim cam mini with Split 45 weepers full race cam and close ratio straight cut gearbox
The french one is with a fiat doblo diesel turbo .
only one word: WOW !!
I need a car but I need one I want to get so much a month can you help me out
Gran bel lavoro ..
Good video but please calm down on the meme clips. It’s funny the first time
The manic approach is a turn off, interesting videos but I have never gone past the first few minutes.
Cut him some slack he's American , he can't help it. 😏
I'm going with the Turbo mini any day...
K75 please
Now just stick that turbo kit on the bike engine and you've nailed it
Turbo 💪
jesus, that twincam sounds amazing, i wish it could be done without that ugly hood. how many stacks are we talking about to do that conversion?
Great work Jeremy and the team at Jet, always a pleasure working with you and seeing what you create, if you have a customer that need some real 16v power let me know 🚀🚀🚀🚀
You need to see the french turbo mini, 186bhp on the ultimake making channel
996cc 186bhp so the fastest 1 liter mini in the world
I'll choose turbocharger.
Smoking 20 a day
Twin Cam Mini
16:17 that sounds so good
Well you wouldn’t kick any of them out of bed for farting. 🏴
If it was a proper turbo set up, not this junk. It would absolutely wipe the floor with the 16v

Oh no BMW that sucks you need Honda or Toyota not BMW
You need honda or Toyota? Somebody's not watched the video 😂
