i wonder who came up with that idea

Apologies Denis, I thought that it was Bat's idea originally - my mistake.

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Denis O'Brien.

Once again Paul S at the cutting edge!

I used a mg manifold and made up a single pipe to the turbo.

Seams to work really well over the clutch.

Yours is looking good tho :)

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Nearly finished:



Welding's not pretty but should be fine.



Fettled the end flange to merge with the two pipes.



Made up a couple of flanges to prevent the manifold flanges from bowing with the heat. Also doubled up as a feed for the back purge gas. Worked a treat, all the flanges are as flat as they started.

Your welding looks tidy compared to mine....

What are you welding with (Mig, Tig etc)?

I've used Tig and pure argon as it is stainless steel.

that looks really good Paul

IF SPARKS DONT FLY IT'S TOO HIGH

Cool..

any chance of making one for me

looks great similar to the one i did for peter , i tell you it was a pain in the arse to try get it to fit there. Are you still going to use engine steady ? also i had to keep pipes with few mm of the block to clear brakes lines and such but i guess you can move that stuff

edit heres a pic for you

1152cc turboed mini clubman, most powerful 1.1L a-series?

I remember studying that photo when I was doing the design.

Mines going in an ex-Miglia so the normal engine steady and brake lines etc do not exist.

I expect that we shall have to make a few adjustments once the engine is in the car.

finished yet paul?

Not yet. Doing the inlet manifold at the moment, then will need to make the downpipe and the sample tubes.

Long way to go.

what OD and wall thickness is that paul?
also did you use the 90's from allstainless?
just trying to get the bits together to make one, it'l be cruder than yours mind...

The pipe is 28/33mm ish

The elbows came from all stainless, nominal 1" bore but 28mm.

Too cold to actaully cut metal today, so i've decided to draw up the next version of this manifold for the next version of the 998Ti in CAD.



The centre runner turns in underneath/behind the others. The two outers join at the end of the block.

I have actually made the first runner a few weeks ago, but due to a dose of man flu and cold weather it has come to a halt.

Made some progress before the cold weather sets in again.

I'm liking that, looks good in the flesh.

Looks good Paul.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

so...

back to back test between the LCB type and the 3-1 type?

so which one will you be using then??

They are for different projects.

Comparative testing would be good but flanged for different turbos.
