Adam Beard from Twin Engine Corsa interviewed Jamie Ford about his amazing 1973 Mini Clubman. Jamie explains the Mini is powered by a turbocharged Honda B18C4 inline-four built with forged rods and pistons, Skunk2 Pro intake manifold, custom exhaust manifold, and GT2871 turbocharger. The combo produces 330 hp (242 kW) to the wheels on 12 psi of boost. The AWD drivetrain starts with a Competition Stage 3 clutch and Honda CRV transmission and transfer case. A custom driveshaft sends power to a CRV rear housing with a Quaife limited-slip differential supported by a Mini Fab rear subframe. Listen to Jamie explain all the work that went into this Mini before taking it for a drive.
