Woto david up north from pete down south. re shorrocks you need a C75B.with 1/34 in SU carb and safety blow back valve plus twin drive pulleys or toothed belt. faults with blower you need a total loss oil feed from engine hard to set with the needle valve fitted. R 47 spark plugs hard to find. a 9X10 prop. all shorrocks are old and suffer from grit damage to vanes and chamber they run hotter than normal plus extra petrol consumption you might like to fit a later mini blower with reliability. GOOD points loud booming exhaust and flames on over run .

Hi Thanks for the info sounds exciting flames out the exhaust should give these climax boys a fright when they pass me?
saw a c75 on the flea bay short while back but it was for a vw beetle I guess, with opposite ports, so did not pursue then found out the albatross installation was this one not convinced yet guess will have to fabricate manifolds in any case, not sure how to swing a toothed pulley on the albatross direct drive etc, guy I emailed with said they used the oil pressure outlet for the direct loss oiler feed ?? another chap suggested using asin Japanese super chargers apparently the Austin 7 boys are doing this, mind boggles, have you seen a newer mini set up working?
cheers for the response

just a thought, but our friend in the Netherlands successfully fitted a turbo to his 100e and that goes like a rocket. Given the comments above, that might be an option worth considering.

John will have his details.

Hi R Hope you are all well down there, I guess you mean the chap from Luxembourg apparently he's very quick out of the turns although I understand his is a turbo from a current mini ? but it may have been lost in translation.
interesting to see the minx on the market again just shows you we don't own these boats we just look after them for a while
cheers d

The (petrol) MINI Cooper S is supercharged David.
