90s minis

[kamoteman]

sakin sa tingin ko kaya higher ang compression ratio ng galing UK kasi walng aircon ang mga mini dun unlike sa Japan meron kaya mas hirap ang makina. (di ko alam kung tama ang pinagsasabi ko!)

Esarc,

I was told low comp ang jap version because jap versions are aircond-ready units para hindi pwersado ang makina. Also, sa injected minis, kakaiba ang ECU ng jap version over the rest. Try driving side by side, iba humatak ang non-jap sa euro specs. You can check talagang malaki difference up to the mk 7's. ng jap- naka twin point inj pero side mounted pa din radiator di gaya ng euro na front mounted radiator na!

Pareng Kev,

Here's my 2 cents worth... 998cc was in production until 1992. 1275cc came out again in 1990 up to 2000, in injection and carb fed until 1995. UK models have higher compression ratios as compared to the Japs...Please beware now. Mainit ngayon mga autoridad sa minis dahil sa mga nahuli sa pier ( nasa bulletin today at phil star today na mag hihigpit sila sa mga imptd cars lalo na sa mga shwrms... lagot yang mga nasa autocamp jap cebu origins ), ingat ka sa mga papel lalo na sa mga binuhay as in reincarnated. Mga dead files na sinikwat sa LTO. Sa mga jap minis, better check mga transmission, kadalasan kumakalas at sabog mga suspension at kuba tumayo. Wala pa din tatalo sa UK version kung san TALAGA ito nagmula. Hope this adds to your ???.

Pareng WANker, bakit kaya sabi mo eh kuba tumayo ang mini na Japanese..hehehe...just wondering.. wala namang Japan made na mini ..lahat galing sa U.K. Kaya tuloy panay ang tingin ko sa mini baka nga kuba tumayo itong car ko. I checked also the VIN in which the 11th letter indicates the assembly plant "D" for Longbridge (in U.K. not in Japan). As for the engine,ngayon lang ako nakarinig na lower ang compression ratio ng "Japanese mini". Teka , check muna ako sa mga libro.

Hmm.. that's interesting... If I may go back to my other question... how would I be able to determine if my engine is Low or High compression? ... Is there any observable physical difference? Thanks.

hala lagot.mini ko galing japan.pero ok lng cguro.kse mahirap na ngyn makahanap ng mini na euro ver. tsaka mataas na ngyn presyo ng mini.bili ko lng date sa mini ko wala pang 100k. ngayn pinakamabab 350k na tapos running condition lng.meron ba kyong kilala nagbebenta ng mini van or mini wagon?tsaka tuloy pa rin ba yun EB ng mga classic mini.please msg me kung meron pa rin yun EB ng mga minis.para mkasali naman ako.thankx

Might try looking at cyl head specs and transfer gears' ratio. physical difference ? i think there's none.

I will do just that. I know I am getting close to it. Can you please direct me specifically which to inspect in the cylinder head? Are there numbers to keep in mind? ...as to which one represents High and which one Low.

As to the transfer gears, I thought that they may have to do with the final drive ratio and not the compression ratio. Or does it?

I'll check the cyl head tomorrow and give you feedback... Thank you sir wanker.

Brod Rey,

Sabi ko Jap version or Jap spec ( extra emission related parts, two small hooks below rear number plate, serial no at the boot floor,etc )but not Jap made or assembled.. They are built in Uk but destined for japanese market ( hence jap version). Most of the minis that came from japan mababa ang likod from what ive seen and heard from other people. Maybe because of their love for HILOS ? Mini Maruyama also confirmed the low comp thing to my friend.
Regards

Brod WANKer, Ahh ganon ba....... sige..ok .. "two small hooks below rear number plate" - brod , pang-ipit lang ng plaka yan...........Sa mga Mini enthusiasts..ano po kaya ang opinion nyo sa post ni brod WANKer?
