MINI"S can fit any motors, my uncle busy with a B16 conversion in his mini. In europe there are plenty XE and 8v Opel motors in a mini . so there you go what ever OPEL motor in there you can fit , But I tell you this now TORQUE STEER GOING TO BE NASTY  _________________ Race car : 200is Turbo 200.3kw and 405nm  KILLER  .

.....a few guys said that same thing.....but we must ma see how it goes when we get there.....but shot for that Mr T...we have a 160ie Astra F motor that 1 of his friends is willing to give us at a cheap price, his doing the superboss conversion on his....but if we can get bigger than that before we get to that stage then it could work....but for a mini with a 1600cc motor it should go well with the light body i suppose

work out the power to weight ratio a 1600 opel motor making about 95kw in a miNI BODY WILL BE LIKE A 328I POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO .
you can work out the KW/per ton it can very impressive

...checked that link out Thundercat....looks gud but I think its gonna take alot to get it looking like that here in S.A with parts being so scarce....but we see as we go along....Mr T. the 1600cc motor should be ok for now ja if you put it the way you just through that down there.....then we can see where we need to improve ...before maybe going on to a bigger motor....maybe even get some OCCT stickers on once its done hey...sure to give some b16's the fright of their lives

Cool bra, true what you say, but thats just to prove that even a XE will fit in that thing. Dude i got my throttles from has a 1400 mini with 40 sides iirc, uses it as a gymkhana car.
