110 HP upgrade to my MG Midget (about 65 HP for the 1275) would be almost a waste. That said, I like the idea of this upgrade.

- hinkley 7y agoIt’d be just about right in a TR6 or a GT6 though. If your MG body is solid you might be able to get away with it but if it’s rusty, that torque could be bad. There’s plenty of room under the hood of a spitfire for a bigger engine but I’d heard you have to upgrade the half shafts if you do as they’re the weak point. That and maybe weld some plates into the hourglass section of the frame. But they were around 100hp already. The monobody on the MG might be okay if it’s not full of holes...
- thedaemon 7y agoSo it's almost doubling your horsepower, not to mention the full torque of an electric motor, which is to say you get all of your torque available from 0. A Midget with this 110HP electric motor would absolutely destroy your 65HP petrol engine Midget!
