(998 suck through carb turbo)
Turbo Mini Forums

hi all here my old banger (998 suck through carb turbo)
made a stage one kit in to a turbo suck through cab. old school. just for a laffff it a old A series and volvo 440 1.9d turbo.
going to put a MPI rad at the front and the carb were the rad was

Certainly different, vicars mentions suck through set ups in the yellow book. Not seen one in a mini though. Supposed. To increase lag slightly - be interesting to see if this is the case

Not vicars! Vizards!!!

got some more bits to day.

Deffinatly different.
Are you not worried that you might melt the plastic cover thing in the middle where all the wires go?

This setup gives me the horn

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

I'll be keeping an eye on this build. Very interesting.

on the wires r going inside and i will youse a heat shiela .

Why mount the carb so far away?

In the 13's at last!.. Just

the carb is to tall .

drop the height and use a bike carb you could then use a smaller inlet to reduce the possibility of icing?

welded up the t2 trubo flange on
as got a saab dump velv recycle one.?
need to make the down pipe and flange.

I really don`t mean to be negative,,, i just feel that your exhaust manifold (2nd hand cut down std-ish extractors) are going to crack apart fairly quickly i suggest,,, are you planning on re-making them in something a bit more suitable-reliable-stronger in the future?

I`m all for making things work for not much money,,, because i don`t have much money myself,,, most of the time i`m quite broke actually,,, so i applaude your enthusiasm,,, but these things (turbo manifolds) are usually/generally made from steam pipe or other such more top-quality stuff to help resist the heat & resonance cracking them up in no time

Just my thoughts & i`m quite surprised no one else mentioned it so far actually

or am i terribly wrong?,,, if so, then i`ll just crawl back into the hole in my bum (again)

id guess that this is an experiment and if it proves successful he would redo it from scratch. he did say it was for a laugh.

the welding looks to a good enough standard to me (seen much worse) and i would say it would last long enough for testing, and longer if it was braced allowing for expansion.

I've said it som many times and been ignored that I've given up. Learning by experience in this matter seems the only way.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

oh , ok,,, for a laugh, then that`s ok,

But yeah bracing the whole thing would help it last a bit longer i spose

yes it is a bit of fun . got to make the oil pipe next

Is the rad fan ad cowl going to fit behind the carb? Looks very close.

will the fuel distribution to the cylinders not be affected by the inlet angle?

how are you going to feed the carb? surely not hot air from the rad?

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Good point Joey.

Even if the MPI rad he's planning will allow for clearance issue, the area is still gonna be fairly hot.

Rusty by nature

got a new engine a+ 45k on the clock. the old one was a bit smokey lol





i have painted my engine in alliminium to make it lighter lol


got it all back in today
i have decided to run bike carbs on it and turbo .
need a+ dizzy now

now need to get my arse in to gear and the car painted lol

That fan looks well Heavy!!!

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Bike carbs seems a better idea.

What about suck through, they still need fuel pressure regulator, right ?

I don't know about the paint you used for your manifold but if it is not a high temperature stuff it will cook and smell really bad ...

Rusty by nature

the exhaust is in hi temperature stuff .
and engine in silver wheel.
