The joys of building and running a classic mini, that has undergone a Honda B18 Vtec engine conversion, which has then had a precision 5431 slapped on it (along with a few otter goodies) making 482bhp!
Exhaust system sounds awesome. If you don’t mind telling who makes that system as I’m doing this exact same conversation with the same engine on my mini as I write this.
I gave like £500 for it as a d15, shell was already rotten 😂 that engine was good when i had it but it got passed around the group a bit and now my pal had ended up with that same block lol@VtecTurboMiniGuy
@@turboeg4bseries857 I have £600 for the car and it came with the b18. It was a shockingly bad build 🙈 The front harness was secured with a needle and thread to the harness bar. One accident and boom - death ☠️
@@VtecTurboMiniGuy honestly I would never go back to pod without them now, on street tyres I managed a 11.9 @ 130mph, went straight onto slicks and ran a 10.6 @ 135mph
@@griffincentre yeah was running 20 to start with and then went to 15 on the last few runs. Didn’t see much of a difference but that could be because my gearbox was getting worse throughout the day
No disrespect to yoy my freind but i wishd you had cone to me. I would have loved to have helped you. We have the same passion man. Facebook i leave well alone man. Im sorry you had to go through all of this.
It’s built and running, check out officially gassed’s video on it ☺️ I’m due to start filming an update video on the car again soon. Sorry it’s been so long!
Why can't people edit a car video without destroying it with idiotic music? If we were looking for music we could use youtube music, but we who was about to look att this would like to hear engines.... 👎👎👎👎👎
A couple of guys told me a Peugeot 206 Diesel battery will fit, and has more cold cranking amps. For me it was tricky trying to find the correct one, as my 1967 Wolseley has been off the road for 30 years and despite not being SORN declared often doesn't show up in website numberplate checks, nor is the make and model available on many part compitability lists.
Thank you, when you say bigger…what do you mean exactly? They are just 13” rims which are fitted to a lot of minis. I need as wider tyre as I can to get the power down
@@VtecTurboMiniGuy absolutely shares as much as possible. . This would be a great direction for you to drive their cars or talk about them and interview. I really enjoyed this .
Dude, epic build. I was genuinely scared for both of you. Lol. Seen this on CarThrottle and thought it may help the death wobble on boost? When Ford announced its Mk2 Focus RS would be packing a faintly ridiculous 300bhp while retaining a front-wheel drive layout, the question on everyone’s lips was just how it’d cope with the 2.5-litre engine’s might without torque steering into a hedge. It turned out Ford was using two methods to combat understeer and torque steer: a conventional limited-slip differential from Quaife, and a system it called ‘RevoKnuckle’. Revoknuckle is a variation of the MacPherson strut front suspension design. The bottom of the strut features a C-shaped section, and in this sits a steering knuckle. This design separates the suspension and steering functions, and brings the steering axis closer to the wheel’s centre line. All this means you’re less likely to have the steering wheel threatening to wrench itself out of your hands when you plant the throttle. Ford isn’t alone in offering a different take on the MacPherson design in high-powered front-wheel drive cars. Renault developed its own similar system, and Honda’s new Civic Type R will feature a design called ‘Dual Axis Strut’.
@@VtecTurboMiniGuy No problem. Props on the build & thanks for sharing. Good luck dialing it in. And for the love of god, fit the rest of the cage soon lol ✌
Also seen this on CarThrottle. And as it's Honda Prelude 97on, may fit easier? ATTS torque vectorung diff. As the name implies ATTS vectored torque. One might say that in it’s basic form the ATTS unit is a really small automatic gear box mated to the differential of the car. Through a series of clutches the ATTS unit sends torque to the wheel that needs power the most to optimize traction. The car uses the ABS sensors to measure wheel slip, yaw and G sensors to determine the load and steering angle sensor to determine the angle of the wheel. All of that data is fed to the ATTS computer which works with the ECU to determine the optimal torque a wheel can get. Once the output is decided, the ATTS engages the clutches. The reaction time of the system is within milliseconds.
