2.5 litre engine

One of the Rovers Mags had an article about a guy who put a throttle body EFI AND a Mini supercharger into a SI Rover.

Really? That sounds like fun!

I guess that so many people opted for the bigger supercharger that you could get the smaller ones for about $125. He made the brackets, figured out an Gas flow sensor and the rest of the EFI system, put it all together and had a really nice quick little SI. Remind me in a month or two and I might be able to see if I can find the article. In the middle of a move right now and hoping that I don't end up working in Dallas when I just moved to Jacksonville!

I'm setting up the reminder to myself now. You'll hear from me in a month.

So, um... Did you find it?

Wouldn't the Rochester BV replace the Weber?

Not yet - moves are . . . . . . complicated AND now I am in Dallas working away from my Rover Mags. Feel free to continue the reminders (after Christmas?)

Okay. I don't want to be a hound though.

If I don't find it at just after the after Christmas reminder - Mid-February is your next reminder time ;-)

if it has the flywheel housing from the 2.5 it may have a 3 bolt starter. I believe the starter from any of the 2.5's (n/a, td, 200 /300) might fit. Not sure if the parts books agree with this. They (the books) list something difficult to find for the 2.5 na (same flywheel housing as the 2.5 petrol) the 300 starter fits fine and works well and is easily found.

This is turning into a game for me now. Any luck finding it? Hope the move went well!

Move going well, thanks. (as always, still unpacking)

I actually did take some time and looked through my Rover mags while I was home. I did not find it. I think that it has to be either LROI or Enthusiast between 2001 (I think that is when the new Mini came out) and 2005 when I moved between houses in San Diego.

Now I am back in Dallas. Maybe if I stop looking for it I will suddenly find it - or I should start looking for a different issue!

I found this info on the LROI back issues page. Now I know which to look for specifically. Or maybe someone else can find it quicker and scan the pages in!
