Let's Talk Shit - We're back with Restomod Minis, EFI, and much more!
I have that exact same master cylinder. I can't get it to start "squirting" at all, just can't get it primed.... Have renovated it so it should work. Anyone knows if this thing could get it going?
Works with an austin sprite?
Looks like the sprite used mostly an inline a series so that shouldn’t be any issue. It didn’t originally come with an HIF44 though so you’ll likely need a new inlet manifold to suit our throttle body
How many miles did you have on the original ball joints? And what type of driving dod you do?
Approximately 7000 miles and mostly road driving with about 30% forest road driving. No crazy aggressive off roading and I don’t drive my vehicles hard.
@classicminidiy wow and they gave out that fast. What a terrible product. Mine have about 15k on them and I have a slight clunk while going over bumps... all my driving is road
New to the channel, is this the first mini build you have done or very experienced? Love the channel from AUS. Saving for another mini (had a 850 as my first car)
Correction!! Nexus R3 + pd16 = more vs Nexus R5. For example R5 you have 4 25amp outputs, and R3+pd16 and now you have 8 25amp outputs
That blow off valve would drive me nuts, enough so that I would revert back to normally aspirated. Can you totally silence it?
It's down to personal preference and you con configure a recirc system, or omit the blow-off entirely, though doing that has some implications on the turbo. One thing I will say is that the video makes the BOV sound super super loud when in person it's very mild.
A nice car, well done. The only fault is that you need to concentrate more on your focusing. You couldn't read what the parameters were on the lap top, nore the figures on the car's gauges.
Oh you're saying when I was doing the screen recording section of this video? I recorded it in 4K from my computer but the text is really small. I will keep that mind in the future!
@classicminidiy Thanks for replying, it would be a help if you could make it bigger. .
I REALLY like that truck bro!!!
Thank you!! :-)
Awesome video, like many others. You are so good at this, man. Why would anyone replace a newer servo breaks that has a much better feel to a yellow tag?
Thanks! Most common reason is wanting to simplify the look in the engine bay or needing the space occupied by the servo for something else (eg. larger breathers, ignition coil, etc). I actually always preferred (in my mini) the feeling of yellow tag or single line brakes. The servo doesn't add enough stopping assistance to me and prefer the more raw feel in the older car. Now on my tacoma....I wouldnt wanna drive it without a servo haha.
Lol turbo wars heating up... Love the build mate.. good video
Turbo build thunderdome! Thanks appreciate the comment.
When I go uphill mine makes a grinding noise. Could this bearing be the culprit. If so this video is a great load of my mind.
I would check your driveshafts and make sure they are not contacting the exhaust pipe. The fact that its only when you're going up hill makes me think its something related to the engine position, potentially leaning back and causing something to contact outside the engine.
Stuff my A35 van, if I weren't on a budget. HS2's for me. Pretty build, Sir.
Thank you! I appreciate it, nothing wrong with a tried and true carb a-series!
Why pixelate the speedo when a mini can only ever reach 50km/h 😅 Hope youre doing well cole! All the best Luis
😂 that’s a fair point
What is the sounds of air compressor every time you change gear?
Blow off valve for the turbo. Sounds loud in the video but it’s quite mild in person.
Hi Cole, is the interior color the "autumn leaf" from Newton? Loving the mini, it's gorgeous inside and out!
The door panels are autumn leaf from Newton. The seats were trimmed by someone local and we tried to match it as close as we could. Thank you so much!
I know it's blasphemy, but I would love to ELECTRIFY a Morris Mini. I've seen a few builds and the low weight + EV torque makes for a fantastic driving experience. I have sourced a 997cc Mk-1 Morris Mini with a dead engine, so I just need to figure out how to get and install the EV components ... it's the start of a BIG project.
The torque is great, but the car loses a lot of range. Minis are too small to have enough batteries to get anything more than 100 miles on a good day.
There are ready kits with extended battery reaching 200miles range ... A bit expensive but they are bolt on kits for ease of installation. Have a look if you haven't seen them already.
It's not blasphemy - it's your Mini, you do what you want with it and don't worry about silly people trying to gatekeep cars that they don't own.
@@Glathgrundel there are kits but the companies refuse to sell to homebuilders/ diyers last I asked. It's like 30k in the US for installation. Thought about getting certified to do it and then just install one and done...
The 997cc Cooper is one of the rarest! I would say it's probably worth trying to repair it if possible, to maintain its value.
looks like the speedo has steps. Not enough resolution?
I initially thought you were making a joke about me censoring the speedo but now I see what you mean. I might need to add some more cells to the table.
@@classicminidiy surprised it isn't something that is auto-interpolated... Don't see how it isn't linear. Should definitely be a setting if it isn't already. I'd harass Haltech about that.
So it is interpolated on the Haltech side but the smiths gauge has a non-linear step starting at 10mph as the bottom step. The left side of the speedo is tighter than the right. It could also be related to the gearbox speed sensor. It came loose recently and had to retighten but it may still not be fully seated (big hands small area). Will need to get loctite on it to be certain.
Any reason for sticking with single line MC over doing a tandem conversion?
Mostly looks. The tandem doesn't provide any performance benefit either. Just safer (marginally)
@@classicminidiy gotcha, schweet build though, really dig the custom plug wires.
Thank you!
How you doing Cole
Hey Mark! Doing great, just chugging along and livin my best life haha
I`m just about rebuilding my radius arms for my 75 Inno 1300. Watching your video helped me finishing that job nicely - thank you for sharing! What I´m left with is the radial play that I found on both radius arms - that play is about 0,2mm, which I think is too much... From the theorie the tolerances of radius arm + shaft + xxx sum up and you need to "adjust" the installation somehow. My idea is to install the roller bearing NOT fully home, but stand off a couple of x/10mm and press that bearing home with the actual used shaft. This results in Zero axial play. Question to you: how do you set your axial play?? Thank you for a breif response.
This is just what I need. I have a 76 classic mini. I have very basic skills, so your explanations are perfect. Thank you
I like this, however, something I cannot find ANYTHING about, is the rod change selector box maintenance and refurbishment. Wher the rods go in and out, there are bushings? But are they replaceable or not? the bushings in back are not easy...and just in general, I see nothing about it, just removing it as a unit, putting it in as a unit. I would like to see a teardown and restore job on a unit. I have two that are 40+ years old and I have no idea if they're serviceable or not because of that "bushing" if there actually is one?
Great video. As an alternative ..Petrol/Gas is great to clean and soak parts overnight...use a small paintbrush to cleN. Also ...a good idea to set the float level after fitting the needle valve and check the float itself is not punctured.
Awesome video thanks so much for your explanations 😎🙌
Honestly , Cone drives better
Thanks so much for this video. Will try to rebuild mine very soon
You’re very welcome! Good luck with the rebuild.
I like what you did with the hubs
nice video! perfect thanks ! if you have more tips for changel oil tell us ;)
Where can I get one of these kits?
Why do you not show witch screew to change the mixture?
Hi, is it mandatory to change the screw which link the head and the engine when you remove the head ?
Interesting video but since you are only doing ignition mapping could you not just use the programmable 123 dizzy?
You could but the 123 is still predefined curves. Many of them sure, but still fixed curves. This provides granular control over every MAP cell so you can get optimal timing in any scenario not just in a predefined curve.
@@classicminidiy they also do a mappable dizzy now
Dobinson suspension is actually an Australian company that is now world wide. Bit like Old Man Emu Shocks. Started in Queensland Australia. 😊
Australia keeps making some awesome stuff for my cars. Haltech ecu on my mini and now greasable pins on the truck!
Hi I noticed your roll cage. Have you done anything for front end collision safety?
I haven’t. The roll cage was from a silent auction I had the highest bid on. I considered something up front but never pulled the trigger
Not quite a necro bump? how did you afix your AN adaptors to the thin standard rocker cover Cole? @classicminidiy
You can buy weldable AN bungs and they weld right up to the original rocker cover without any issue. Just need to make sure your welder isnt set too hot. Pre-heating the metal bung helps as well so you dont blast through the rocker cover before you get good penetration on the bung.
@@classicminidiycheers Cole
😢
great videos 👍 making a turbo mini silimilar to yourself, im not wanting to create a new wiring loom for lights etc.(not engine related) is there a pre existing wiring loom you can buy for the mini that would work just for the lights?
Hi, do you have a link for that braided flexi hose you have to the clutch cylinder?
Hey! Yes I produce and sell them myself. Link below store.classicminidiy.com/collections/brake-and-clutch-lines/products/brake-and-clutch-hose-conversion-kit
Hello iam looking for some advice my Austin allegro 3 1275cc won't go into gear when engine is running but it goes into gear when engine is off any idea please
Have you tested this new pedal on the road, and in the city traffic? It seems to me that the gas pedal shouldn't be sticking out more than the brake and clutch pedals, and also that metallic sound when the pedal returns to its position and contacts the back plate is a no go.
The first 10 seconds or so of talking he show the set screw to choose the pedal height/position…
was thinking that about the metal sound as well. Think some delrin or just a bit of rubber there might dampen that sound significantly.
The video might provide an incorrect perspective here. The pedal is lower than the brake and clutch pedals. However when compared to virtually any modern vehicle the accelerator is usually a completely different positioned pedal when compared to other pedals. All that said, the new pedal is lower already. In reference to the sound. I’m not sure I am following how that is different from the factory pedal when it returns to its resting position. This was our stainless prototype and our production model will be a thicker solid billet aluminum. This product has been tested on the road, in rush hour, mountain driving, city driving and all scenarios in between.
Great video. I was curious to hear if you needed anti-slip paste beyween the steel and carbon fiber handlebar. Do you recommend?
excellent. concisely and well explained.
What gear shift gaiter did you use?
I have a soft leather one. So it gives me a bit more flexibility with where it mounts.
do you do a kit for the triumph tr7 2ll how mush will it cost
was changing a mini clutch 40 years ago without removing engine, hardest part was getting the bolt back on the mounting ,use to weld the nut on the mounting
Do you happen to have the part numbers for the cross member support bracket that is attached to the teardrop trailer?
Is that a universal gasket? Im looking for one for a VW bug that i widened 5"
Great all ready for live chat
How did you center the grey exterior plate and the backplate mounting it that way? The steel straps allow for adjustment in centering? I have seen a video from MED I think about this topic and they had to center those parts.
Very impressive power! On what size (cc) engine is this? I have a 1275cc MG Midget engine with HIF 44 SU in a 1970 Morris Minor Traveller and was thinking of ways to improve it a tad; even the local busses here can keep up with me on the hills!
