 It's past midnight and I'm exhausted, pun intended |

Here's what the elves have been up to tonight. I look at the picture and think "Well that doesn't look like it was too much work." Well maybe not for a lot of folks, but it was for this guy. After about 3 weeks of chin scratching I decided on my plan of attack. Last Saturday I made the flanges and shopped for all the hardware. Tonight I did the rest. The intake side of the turbo peeks though a hole I punched in the rear cooling tin. I wanted to keep the exhaust side completely out of the engine bay. Tomorrow I'll finish it up and let you know how it runs. Not expecting earth-shaking performance - the math says 20-28hp if I did everything right. That'll put me between 100-108 hp. Don't sound like much, but that's as much as a 35% increase over the current anemic 80 hp.

Nice work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I think fabricating pieces like that is very impressive.
What do you intend to use for the rest of the induction system? |

Pretty good Saturday. Got the induction plumbing built. Everything is installed and ready to fire-up except for vacuum sourse for the BO valve (need a 'T'), hose clamps on a few vacuum lines (soon to be pressure lines), and a 10mmx1.25 nut for one of the turbo-flange studs (I know I bought enough - but one went missing).
Have to stop for the day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (almost got done today) and clean up to go to a dinner appointment. More updates as they become available.... -Ben M. |

I forgot to mention that I used a Burch exhaust as the base. I just did what's between the collector to the muffler. -Ben M. |
