Once de-cated they go over 20psi, kaboom!!! I was reading once that 2" restrictors have to be welded in the exhuast to stop them blowing up!!!

just offered it up today i think if i wasnt bothered about putting a few scratches and dints in the bulkhead i could have squashed it in but as i am i need to strip it back a bit



i can't see the standard twin turbo set up fitting (you can see the clearence here) so i'm gonna have to fit a single turbo - this isnt a problem it's a good power upgrade for these engines - i dont think you can go anymore than 400bhp with the twins anyway you can also see in this picture how much space ive still got behind the engine



the other side is close too so i might have to make up a new plenumn - i'm prepaired to do this if necessary so thats ok

the next step is to strip off the turbos and all the wiring loom, but to do this i need to make lots of notes on where it all goes

[winterheating]

this is going to be fast, keep up the good work

[G40GES]

rockin!.... just MIND THE PAINT

[AndyG]

rockin!.... just MIND THE PAINT

Never mind the paint We won't see any chips/scratches or dents with that engine in the bay

I see you have your hand on the autobox

but as i am i need to strip it back a bit

Stop creating extra work

This is going to be one very Transit

There won't be much that'll take you @North Weald

[Luke]

I see you have your hand on the autobox

oh yes auto's the future

Bit more progress today

i'm working nights this week got to bed 7 this morning got woke up at half 9....... off to do a bit more on the engine

got the loom stripped off the engine - tagged and photo'd each connecter - ther's over 50 of them and thats just the engine - there's more in the car



also removed the top half of the plenumn - gives me a bit more room and makes it look a bit easier to handle


next turbo's off the other side

but 1st back to bed

[madbri]

nothing better than going 2 bed dreaming transit porn mind ure hand

[madmark]

[transitandy]

[allanhumphreys]

Outstanding, will be following your progress closely it will be amazing when done.

Is it the same engine as in the Orange Supra in the Fast and Furious 1?
