What will it have cost when it's done ?

Looking good Tim! Is it just me or does it look like clocking the turbo is going to interesting?

blade7

I think it's clocked already.

Sorry but I'm not quite sure what you mean

He means rotating the turbine/ compressor housing to align to exhaust pipes/ intercooler pipes but I am guessing some if not all the exhaust alignment was already done for the engine dyno.

Nice pics looking forward to the completed install

Thanks Nick.

Yes that's one of the jobs to be done, compressor housing, plus a small alteration to crossover pipe. Then a down pipe to fabricate

Good work Tim! Great to see such a great build happening in the UK! Where can I go to see this thing fly?!

Tim - do you have any pictures of the construction of the plenum for you intake manifold? I am interested in how you constructed the main plenum.

Also what the volume of the plenum is? Runner length? :-)

No, I didn't take any pics of the manifold construction as I thought I was only making the one. I never really had any design goals, only that it should fit nicely under the bonnet. We have used similar looking manifold on other engines that have worked ok. The plenium cover that I used is for a Toyota upgrade, its cast alloy, nice and strong. It was to big and I had to cut it down to size, to fit a back plate I had machined. This I can supply. This is a picture of the manifold that's widely available on ebay.

Also a picture of the inside of the manifold.

This I then welded onto the original S2 manifold runners.

Thanks Tim, very helpful. Thanks! I found this on ebay:

Any chance you could post up some basic dimensions? My application would be slightly different as it would be for an 8V. Mainly looking for dimensions on the plenum.

Tim, how did you do the bellmouths on the back plate?

refresh951

Looks like he kind of incorporated them into the plate itself.
