Looking forward to see and hear the “beast”😄😄
Lovely install there Cole. Looking forward to the first start and hearing all those choo choo noises 😎
Thank you! I’m very ready as well! 😂
Fantastic work 👏
Long wait, and worth it! Looks terrific.
Thank you!
We've all heard of the "bundle of snakes" exhaust manifolds like those found on the Ford GT40 and Lotus 38. This one is significantly smaller in diameter, so I vote we call this exhaust manifold the "bundle of earthworms."
I love it 🤣 🪱
Hi Cole, wow the turbo installation looks amazing! Can't wait to see it running! 😊
You and me both!
@@classicminidiy lol 😂
Amazing seeing it all come together! So excited for you.
Definitely you need to polish that plenum to match your shiny new rad. 😆
Either polish it or make it crinkle black too hahaha
love your videos
Sweet build!
That's a really nice and tidy package. Looking forward to first start.
Thank you! You and me both!
This is pretty cool, have had this exact idea for years, I have just been too busy in life to make it happen. I’m glad someone is doing it. A quick little side not the length of the exhaust manifold, the fact that the displacement is small and the size of your intercooler, may make this set up a little laggy. The intercooler on my 3.0 making 550 hp at 22psi isn’t much bigger than yours. I can’t wait to watch the other videos you make to see your results.
thank you for this great video
You’re welcome! Thanks for the comment.
Nice job, can't wait to to it on the street!!!
Thank you! So close I can smell it!
and i was happy finally to buy a 1300 engine
Cracking fella
Thank you!
This is great. I'm just in the process of reaching out to TCK for a solution.
I always enjoy watching your videos, Cole. Adding this complete turbo set-up is for additional power, correct? I have not looked at the expense to complete this project but, every time someone attempts to gain more power from one of these motors, the cost always seems extreme. Unless there is a dying love to have a British motor (that will get worked quite a bit harder to produce power and thus, shorten it's life and reliability), why not opt for a fuel injected D-series Honda motor that will easily produce more power and start every day? The money spent will be much less, I am sure of it.
Diverter valves route boost back into the intake, not the exhaust. The main purpose is to route the boost you've already generated into the intake to keep the turbo spooled up in between gear changes, reducing lag while still protecting the turbo from compressor surge.
Yeah I misspoke there. Had my PCV collector in my head and got them mixed up.
Hi did you just clamp the air filter on the turbo or use like a adapter?
Good vid Cole. 10:38 Where’d you get the cool hose bends for the intake? You know, you’ve done all the measurements, research, and hard work for this build, you really should consider putting a kit together to sell. I know a lot of it is specific to your car, but a lot would be common to most minis. Good work!
Hey Brian thank you! While I did do lots of measurements the kit would be a HUGE undertaking especially to get something reproducible. I don't think I have it in me right now to tackle something like that! Haha The hoses though I got from a place called Performance Silicone - www.performancesiliconehoses.com/classic-look-hoses-9-c.asp
Cole - where did you fit the tube for the MAP sensor? Can I fit a Vaccum Take Off Plate or do I need to drill into the manifold and fit a take off?
Great video! What do you think about the difference between Fusion Fab or Bagsport side mount kits?
Thank you! Both kits are of EXCELLENT quality. You can't go wrong with either. The main reason I am moving to the Bagsport kit, is that I wanted to try the new generation of Garrett turbos and I liked the orientation of the side mount kit on the Bagsport kit a bit more. Both are stainless, and both will perform excellently.
Hello! I am building a 1098 A series for my 58 Morris Minor. Contemplating a supercharger. Any advice and or a manufacturer?
G5 to H6 have the wrong lookup in the cost list.. i wish it was that in AUD, cheers Cole.. love your vids
Thank you for letting me know about this. I have updated it!
Just one question bud; I love the intercooler but I’m just wondering if the standard distributor would fit behind it ok? Great build dude
Thanks! No unfortunatly there is no room for a distributor with this kit. You could potentially use a smaller intercooler I suppose if you wanted to run a distro.
Pretty much the same spec as my engine so this will be helpful when putting everything back together. The link to which K&N filer you used isn't working on your spreadsheet. Also which turbo blanket have you used? Thanks!
What happens when you click it? I just tested it and it worked for me. Oh yes the turbo blanket. It’s made by forge Motorsport. Link below

@@classicminidiy It's working now, thanks Cole!
Do you really connect your blow of valve to the exhaust downpipe? That would be right for an external turbo waste gate.
No I said the wrong thing there. I actually meant piping it back into the intake pre-turbo. 🤦🏻♂️
Is it possible to Blowing through su carb ? Or does it need some mods too??
That’s what this configuration is. This is a blow through HIF44 SU turbo Carb.
Love this channel! Just proves that you don’t need to be a trained mechanic to be able to build/create or uograde your mini.
Maybe you can explain to me how a map sensor works or even a crank angle sensor or even a simple distributor works
I am a trained diesel mechanic, but I get what you mean Matthew! :-)
@@classicminidiy awesome! Didn’t know that :) I look forward to seeing this wee nugget fired up and tuned.
Looking forward to watching the first start, looks very tight under there
Does the oil feed drain on the turbo need to pint down on the gt1752? Because i dont think the turbo can be clocked around enough
The drain needs to be as close to pointing straight down as possible. I was able to clock my turbo enough to point my drain down with the fusion fabs manifold. Mine is pointing almost exactly 90deg down.
@classicminidiy I have the bagsport manifold. If I clock turbo the cold side will be pointing too close to the transfer case so I won't be able to get a pipe on it.
@@classicminidiy just realised you can clock both parts
Greetings, Part list is not working
Didn’t see the gear for the crank angle sensor
What happened to the engine torsion rods
Gear and details about that were covered in the engine install video and the overview of the ecu. 👍🏼
Have you upgraded the pistons
Yes I have and the entire bottom end and gearbox. I am running the omega forged pistons with an 18cc dish. If you go back and watch my supercharged engine build, it’s the same engine in those videos
What turbo is this?
In this video it's an aftermarket GT1752. They were used on Saab's in the mid-90s.
Where can I buy this as a complete kit
Unfortunately there aren’t many full turbo kits on the market. I think Jet Motors might sell a kit with a smaller turbo that this but this setup is a pretty custom configuration.
@@classicminidiy I got ya... would u be chance know where to get everything I need to build it
I have a relatively complete list linked below but even this isnt completely exhaustive, and your setup may not require all the same bits as mine. But hopefully this helps at least get you started!

I appreciate you taking the time
Is item #4 the same as item #3. Or is the link wrong?
Yikes $10k. A lot of this just wouldn't pass smog in CA, I don't think.
Crankcase emissions used to get piped back into the inlet to get burnt in combustion, not sure how friendly it is just throwing them out the tail pipe.
What kind of target power are you aiming for? It may have been easier to have just gone down the Honda conversion route.
Are cars older than 25 years still required to pass smog? The car itself is over 50 years old so at least in NC it’s exempt from those rules. I actually think this might be better (marginally) environmentally than the normal reburn method, since it’s actually getting proper oil separation rather than feeding that oil back into the combustion system. However I’m no scientist! 😂 targeting around 150-180. Would be happy there. I don’t much care for the Honda conversions, I prefer to keep the aseries. If I do a full engine/power unit swap it’ll be electric! 😎 ⚡️
@@classicminidiy 1975 and earlier are exepmt in California. Believe me, with an '81, I know! 🤬
@@classicminidiy I run a 30 year old Lotus and I still have to Smog that. I think the cutoff is late 70's so still possible to get a classic mini that doesn't need it, good catch. That's a lot of power to run through an A series transmission, I ran a 1275GT run out to 1380 that was doing about 130 I seem to remember on twin 40's. It also had a LSD in it and it was quite a wrestle!
I think I'm most attracted to the Honda conversion because of the 5 speed box and the general reliability of their engines, but I hear you on the electric front.
Good luck with the build - they are fun cars.
Totally agree! The gearbox has been changed in this engine pretty dramatically as well to accommodate the extra torque and power, gear, ATB LSD, etc. All part of what got me to that 10k mark lol. Let's hope it was enough, otherwise I might be going electric sooner than id like hahaha.
@@andrewausterfield6710 in CA it’s 1975 or older , Honda is definitely more reliable and affordable and you would have AC and no need to worry about computer tuning if you keep it stock, some people are just in love with the classic A series, how can you blame them, it’s a beautiful pice of art, even if it’s always liking, lol
Formula for a turbocharger is heat energy increases air velocity it’s not the speed of the exhaust gas coming out
Pays to be a mechanic, if you don’t how it works how can you fix it
For an ICE, heat alone does not increase air velocity, it is merely a byproduct of combustion which remains contributory. Pressure differential on opening the exhaust valve is the primary driving force (aKa blow down). Velocity must be maintained between it and the turbine wheel to transfer energy sufficiently. A cooler/denser exhaust would still make similar turbine speeds if the header remains optimal as the piston is a driving force. So it's a moot point.
@@Dagowly83 pit you could not of told me that in 1976 when one of the questions in my final exam was how dos a turbo work
@@alancombe6083 passive aggressive response, again? You seem to reply to all of Cole's videos with a chip on your shoulder. How about quantifying your responses.. and your quals.
@@Dagowly83 if you don’t now how it works how can you fix it, I can read a workshop manual too, maybe you should learn about mechanics as in actual do it, maybe you might learn something
@@Dagowly83 you want to now my qualifications well let’s see 47 years a mechanic, 15 of those working for Austin Morris/ Leyland, the rest working on GM, Ford, and various European cars
