MED MPI MINI CAMSHAFT

It's impossible to answer without knowing the exact spec of the engine and the quality of the rebuild. However, for a rough guide, when combined with a modified head, ITG air filter and roller rockers, we would expect to see around 80-85bhp from an MPi Mini on the standard injection system.

No, you will need to remove the engine to change the camshaft on an MPi Mini.

We would recommend opting for one of our complete cam kits, as these come with new followers, oil pump and timing disc. Stage 2 comes with an adjustable vernier to accurately time in the camshaft, Stage 3 gives an option for MED roller rockers too.

Ideally, yes. Our uprated road spring sets are highly recommended to remove the chance of valve bounce at higher RPM. These are available separately or as the Stage 2 camshaft kit.

This is the only profile we keep for the MPi, but it works incredibly well for these cars. If you need a more extreme camshaft, perhaps for race use, it's unlikely you will retain the standard injection system, so the MPi-specific cam wouldn't usually be necessary. Please contact us if you're unsure.

The MPi Minis run an electronic camshaft sensor, so the cam needs two extra lobes for this, while the teeth for the distributor drive spindle are no longer required.

The Japanese export Minis all used an SPi injection system, so will not need an MPi camshaft, despite the '96-00 Minis having an MPi engine block. For tuning on all Japanese export/import Minis, look instead at our regular fast road A-Series camshafts, such as the HT or RS profile.
