Could fit another turbo down there if you wanted!

That's an idea... Bi-turbo

Get this one sorted first

Took the plenum work today.. welded on the dump valve tube



Cut off the pressure valve housing and sanded it down to plug the valve hole



Welded the plug and also the threaded hole not now needed



Cut the remaining relief valve housing off the air intake casting

Got home and decided to make a new top engine steady bracket, bolting it through the bulkhead and turbo box side

Cut the plenum inlet off to turn it round





Tig welded the inlet pipe in the opposite direction to the turbo outlet

got to love some tig weld action..

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

Dressed the inside of the inlet pipe

Nice work, I'm sure you've checked but is that hose from the plenum going to clear the carb? Looks close but might just be the photo angles.

Mike... as you pointed out the inlet doesn't clear the carb.. what a plonk I didn't check it !! Need to lengthen it by 40mm now to clear..... Also need to lower the dump tube as its too close to the scuttle.. Ah well back to work....... give me something to do tomorrow...

At least you caught it now!

Neat work though, looks professional!

Welding looks spot on.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Too right... thanks for the note.... that's what happens when you assume .... lol

Cheers TOOL ..

Very tidy welding; nicely done....
Well, almost anyways...

Dazed and Confused....

Re-positioned and welded the intake pipe, also moved the dump pipe and plugged the old hole

Looks great that!

Looks spot on that, how much would you charge for doing that?

Double post

If I had an AC tig welder at home I would start modding... But I have to do it in in my own time.
The odd own Job is OK...

Been out this afternoon and sorted the exhaust , replaced the exhaust bobbins while I was at it...

Gave up trying to find a turbo carb. .. going to mod the standard hif 44 .... so stripped the carb and took loads of photo's. ... need to block off the emission feed and overflow pipe.. Instead of blanking with a tube and bolt I have removed the brass tubes , cleared out the holes with a slightly larger drill and I am going to TIG weld the holes up then dress down....

Great work :)
