2.5L F56 engine, because 2.0L wasn't enough
 

Many people were asking about making real performance parts for the 3rd gen so I jumped in head first as usual. This is the 1st full sleeved big bore F engine stroker in the world........ Keep your eyes peeled for all of the cool parts coming for this monster of a Mini

Just when I thought I had the motor finished......

Now Jan comes up with this. ��
Subscribing to the thread. :popcorn:

WOW. Cant wait to see what this produces.

Oh YEAH!!

cant wait to see the build complete!

:thumbsup:

That's going to be fun! :popcorn:

Now we are talking!

Jan,
Any plan to upgrade the torque converter on the 6 speed Auto trans? Or this will be only for manual transmission?

I will be checking into some Auto options once we have finished up the manual testing

Any updates on this? :popcorn:

I assume you're modifying the dome volume in the heads, changing out rod length, or crank size with this bore? Because you'll just be running very high compression numbers. By calculation for static compression, you'd need to run 91.7mm piston diameter to get 2499cc and that'll put your compression ratio at 13.2. That's going to be one hell of an engine to tune and work against pre-detonation. You'll probably then need to lower your stroke to about 70mm to get 10.0 compression, or 78mm stroke to get 11.0 compression assuming no change in crank nor doing any head work..

Of course there are various other ways to deal with compression ratio, and the VVT in Twin-Powered features are already in place if you can tinker with valve overlap and timing. Kind of an interesting thread to follow. Subscribed.

In for updates

Is this a 2.0L that has been enlarged?

Yeah enlarged bore sleeves, notice the water jackets around the sleeves are now much smaller!!

What ever became of this project? Did you finish it? Give us an update, please.

The stock 8 speed auto can handle the torque of a GP, so that might be a good fit.


Personally, if I was to use this engine, I'd want a dual clutch with paddles.
