Von Twinzig Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I always thought Swiftune were top of the tree with Mini engines.....http://www.swiftune.com/ VT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab54666 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Been a long while since I owned an A series but, ML Motorsport in Kent had a good rep, did a few 1293 supercharged units. AC Dodd builds the heads from memory. Swiftune as above always had a good rep as did MED and Oselli, just avoid minisport! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No end of people have had issues with Minisport engines....... built to a budget despite their prices. Give ML Motorsport a call, AC Dodd is known for his head work, or just drop a different engine in and a new front subframe or I'd supercharge personally. http://www.vmaxscart.co.uk/supercharger-kits/ Guy knows his stuff...... he built a 911 supercharged from an SC but don't hold that against him....... from memory he made it into a 993 shape........

ALEX P Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 http://www.vmaxscart.co.uk/supercharger-kits/ Guy knows his stuff...... he built a 911 supercharged from an SC but don't hold that against him....... from memory he made it into a 993 shape........ He is an expert in supercharging A series engines. He's also the guy I bought my 964 engine from. It turned out to have a snapped head stud............

runnersp Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Swiftune are the daddies. When I get the money together to take mine out of Group 1 they're going to get my business. My dad's is built around Minisport stuff and it's an absolute hound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

targa boy Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi, a mate off mine was Avonbar Racings engine builder then went on to set up on his own as OAP under whose banner his race engines won many championships in mini seven and mini migilia and he has just reopened for business. PM me if you want his details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
