Snoopy Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 So have I got this right? The turbo's now plumbed into the exhaust manifold, and the opening at the top pointing back is where the compressed air comes out of the compressor?So presumably you plumb the cold air feed into the input side of the compressor, then the output side of the compressor into the throttle body?And what happens to the exhaust gases once they exit the turbo?

gargoil Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 they exhaust as normal the easier the better thats why you get a much better result with an aftermarket exhsut on a turbo car! you also have a wastegate on the exhaust side which is a valve which bypasses the turbo and opens when the boost pressure is too high which could mean the turbo may be spinning too fast at higher revs, allowing the turbo to slow down until the necessary lower boost pressure is achieved and the valve closes. helps prevent lag on smaller turbos!

gargoil Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 I did my final year uni project on turbocharger design. It's all very interesting! NOT!!anyhoo looks ace blackrat 8) , you putting the intercooler above the engine or dropping it at the bottom in front of the radiator(is there room?)

ArosaMike Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Awesome! I've only just noticed all this bit about the turbo. You've done a great job with the manifold. I saw a turbo conversion on a 1.4 and it looked really messy! Yours looks dead professional style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Have you designed and built the whole system yourself? If so.....I take my hat off to you. I have a lot of respect!Are you going to run a separate cooling system for the turbo? Will there be any probs with heat soak into the head with it being so close? I can't wait to see what power you get at the end of it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Thats the coolest manifold ive ever seen. ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrat Posted July 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 with the turbo being in front its gonna be alot cooler than turbo'ing the old style 16v or 20v as the turbo sits in the back, so as far as heat soak , i dont see it being a problem at all, i might do a stainless steel cover for the exhaust housing, but will see when i get to that style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />as for power , i am aiming for `180-200` to start with, running standard compression, 11.5:1 wich is HIGH for a turbo motor, but in the future when the engine is finished i will stick a set of forged pistons and conrods inon a 'nother note , have i got a suprise for you guys, you just gonna have to wait for it, im SOOOO chuffed style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
