Welcome to my Vauxhall 2.0 16V Twin Engine Mini Site.  This site is to document the progress of a Mini Clubman Estate from a simple 1100cc A Series to a 400bhp+ monster with 4wd, Turbo and NOS. 

This Mini's main purpose will be drag racing but will still be useable on the street.

After the immediate success of the automatic conversion i'm now ready for more power as this is currently the limiting factor of the performance.  Where continued increases in power could be through more nitrous I wanted to consistent power available for longer periods and after moving to automatics the turbo again became an option to investigate since there is no need to lift between gears meaning no turbo lag between shifts.  I won't be removing the nitrous install although it will be unused as this will be used for ultimate power on the drag strip for later stages in the development.

The Phase 1 Build section will no longer receive any updates and relates primarily to the initial construction utilizing the manual F20 transmissions and the rear engine nitrous installation.

The Phase 2 Build section primarily contains the process of installing the 4T40e automatic transmissions.

The Phase 3 Build section will focus on converting to Turbo along with later upgrades to the transmissions to accomodate the extra torque.

My final goal performance figures are to better the following (hopefully a lot better):

Test                   Goal                               Actual Best (Manual Gearbox)                                        Actual Best (Automatic Transmission)                        Actual Best (Evo Turbo \ Auto)
