Unless your putting a motor cycle engine in you wont be saving any weight, the Honda, starlet,vauxhall and the k series conversions all add between 200 and 350kg to a mini, the only motorcycle engine the works out the same weight as the a sreies is the R1 but when you fit the diff and extra suport structors to fit one to a mini it works out 20Kgs more, thats one of the reasons well sorted A series minis normal kill these engine transplant minis, there is a lot more to than that but just one of the points
regards,
Paul.

good guess kenneth... charade turbo :D
its sohc 993cc 3 cylinder carb turbo, standard 69bhp... one im gettin is a bit modified so should be 69+ which would do me rightly, not looking for anything TOO fast as i know rightly id kill meself :shock:
just sumn different really.. wish it was the dohc version which had the highest standard factoy bhp for a sub 1000cc engine, being 99bhp.... apparantly a very tunable engine :idea:
