Mini is working again! Driving it makes me all kinda fuzzy :) pretty sure it needs an alignment but I’m just gonna send it at autox tomorrow

Also, SKF has did a dumb:

Remember that the locating screw for the brake disc i s to the counterclockwise direction of the nearest wheel bolt holes. How it should be (old bearing):

Yes, it should be on the clockwise side...

I’m just gonna claim weight reduction now...

Every time I see a Mini I want a slammed, clapped out, turbo boosted go kart of a Mini. Preferably one I can fit in the 250.

Superchargers > Turbos

Fight me

Roots or centri? Minis are inline 4 so it would have to be a centrifugal. I'm curious why big ass diesels use turbos instead of super chargers. Is it because they have insane exhaust gas flow the power a turbo efficiently and by design have gobs of torque already?

Roots baby! Centris just dont sound so good.

Mine has a Roots from factory btw.  If you put a TVS in there with pistons and rods, it will make 320whp.

I think since diesels can run much higher cylinder pressures, it makes sense to utilize a turbo and capture all that exhaust energy.

Superchargers dont make any more torque then turbos, they can just create boost at lower rpm traditionally . Superchargers create more iat and require horsepower to operate(for example the gt500's supercharger takes 50hp to make its extra 250hp for the engine)

Heat is a big factor in turbo spooling, diesels create quite a bit of egt. I’m guessing turbos also are used because the ability to create massive amounts of positive pressure that isnt mechanically tied to rpm.

2 stroke diesels have used superchargers though

I’ve always loved the plethora of information found in Oppo. Also the shit posting, gotta love the shit posting. But this is good info to know.
