TeL_O555 S551Leyland Fr | Data Model 1275 GI/MINI COOPER ‘St Sheet = A= 1 Issue 12 ‘This Tuning Booklet has been written to cover ell aspects of tuning for the 1275 GE and Mini Cooper '8'. The engines fitted to these cars are tuned to a fairly high degree in standard form, but further power can be obtained at the expense of some trectability at lower speeds. It met be clearly understood, that, vhereas it is a simple metter to increase the power output of the engine, the increase in power must inevitably carry with it the tendency to reduce reliability. It is for this reason that the Owner Service Statenent on a new 12750T expressly excludes any tuning beyond Pluspac 'A' as described in this booklet, but super tuning does rot necessarily make the 1275 GI hopelessly unreliable. In fact, 1t may ve assumed that it will be at least as reliable as other cars of a similar performance. This booklet is laid owt to give details for progressively increasing the power. With the above ideas firmly established, you should select the simpliest tuning methods which will give the performance required. In certain countries noise and air pollution regulations are in force. The Company does not therefore accept responsibility for any increase in the existing noise or exhauet fune level of the car, vhich nay result after super tuning has been carried out. In countries with special regulations, modifications to the car may prohibit its use on the public highvay Intemational competitive events are run under rules agreed by the F.I.A. which limit modifications for certain groups or categories, As soon as improvements fare ‘incorporated into production or becone available as special parte, the necessary steps are taken to have these parts approved for coupetition and included in the homologation forms. North American countries have their own peparate rules. Whilst every care is taken, no responsibility can be accepted for ensuring that any epecifications or modifications comply with the T.I.A. Regulations or homologation forms. Copies of the forms of recognition can be purchased from the R.A.C., Motorsport Division, 31 Belgrave Square, London SW1X 8@il. Lithographed copies of the actual form, but without the R.A.C. embossed stamp, are available from Leyland S?., these may not be acceptable by scrutineers in case of dispute. ‘The Mini Cooper 'S' is no longer homologated and therefore is not eligible for international or conpetition run under F.1-A. rules. 1275 GT - Form 5405 - Lithographed copy AMK 3320 All special parts are available worldwide through Leyland ST Distributors/ Stockists.

It should also be used on Mini Challenge engines. The special lightened clutch pressure plate C-AHT 230 should be fitted on Croup 2 engines or on care not conpeting under FIA regulations. Use the competition diaphran clutch spring ascombly C-AHG 48% together with bonded clutch driven plate C-AHT 349 for rally or road use with a tuned unit, 0-226 247 for race, rally or rallycross, or solid plate C-AHT 596 for race only. ‘The crankshaft, flywheel, clutch assembly and damper should be fully balanced seperately and then as a rotating unit. EXHAUST MANIFOLDS & SYSTEM For road tuning fit the free flow manifold C-AHT 543 on the 127507 when twin carburettors are used. The standard Cooper 'S' exhaust system is satisfactory for power and should be fitted on a tuned 1275 Gi Free flow manifold STR 0816 should be used for rallying or a high state of road tune. The large bore manifold C-AHT 289 can be used for rallying but is more suited for racing especially for Group 1 and the Mini Challenge 1275 class. A straight through side exhaust system C-AHT 290 should be used for racing vith nanifold G-AHT 289 or with the competition 3 into 1 manifold STR 0332. With the Alloy 8 port cylinder head special manifold C-AHT 343 should be used. For rally use exhaust systen STR 0807. QOLL COOLER For competition use including Group 1 and prolonged high epeed driving, oi1 cooler Kit C-sJJ 4030 chould be fitted to the 1275GT if a cooler is not already fitted as standard. 041 cooler ARO 9809 (13 row) was fitted standard on Cooper 'S' models and can be used for competition with heavy duty pipes C-ANT 3 and C-AHT 4. ‘The oi] radiator and pipes are available as a complete kit C-AJd 3309. A larger 16 row cooler ARO 9875 is available for competition use when modifications to the grille, to provide adequate clearance, are permitted. OLL COOLER COVER During the winter there ie a danger that the engine oil will be over-cooled, leading to a build up of sludge and corrosive acids in the sump. To avoid this it is advisable to cover the oil cooler. A neat effective and convenient vay to do this is the ST cooler cover. Manufactured in tough fibreglass with an insulating foam lining, the cover easily clipe on and off and nay be trimed to suit different size oil coolers. PRIMARY GEAR Prinary gear set C-AEA 3239 is available with a steel backed bush to prevent breakagi during conpetition use, and should be assembled vith Just a smear of engine oil. The special bushes are line bored in position therefore are not available separately. VALVE SPRINGS The standard valve springs will be satisfactory for road tuning and will avoid undue load on the valve gear. Competition valve springs, inner C-AEA 652,outerC-AEA 52h will increase the valve crash speed to approximately 8400 RPM when a race, sprint or super sprint canshaft is used. With the increased valve lift of the race camshafts it is essential to fit inner valve spring locating collars C-AEA 654 over the valve guides and remove the standard botton valve spring cup to stop the valve spring becoming coil bound.
