A= Breather E= Coolant connector for the inlet (there will be one the other side of the inlet aswell) The middle picture either needs a pipe fitting to it and being blanked off or if your fitting a bleed valve you would connect this to the bleed valve. about E, but should i connect them somewhere or leave like it is? because when i bought engine there was pipe connected from other side, but i do not know where it does :( About A is it the same what does out from other side of engine, pipe with small breather filter on it? Can i just connect them together? thank you Nothing special! |

Breathers should either go into a catch tank or have pipes and/or filters on them.

In addition to the answers above, in the 3rd photo, there is a bolt missing that holds the breather cannister onto the transfer housing.

A Metro head wouldn't have the heater take-off that is showing in the 3rd photo unless it's been modified to suit. Hi Rod! no i don't :( i am not sure if it was modified, but when i bought it there was pipe on it, so probably it should be there :) otherwise it will be empty exit? or you think i need block it?

Breathers should either go into a catch tank or have pipes and/or filters on them. You don't need to connect the heater hoses on the manifold. They only really help in winter. On our metro van, I ran both of the nipples on the turbo into a t piece, then from the t piece to a bleed valve and from the bleed valve to the actuator. This is probably over kill. At worst you need to block this one of or all your lovely boost will escape into your engine bay. oooo.. i am confused now, so do i need to block it or just leave like it is now open???? thank you :) Nothing special! |

No, don't block it, the standard Mini plumbing has the heater hose coming out of the head as shown in your photo.... The reason I questioned it is because Metros don't have the connection in that place. So either the Metro head was modified to suit a Mini (quite an easy job) or you don't actually have a Metro (Turbo) head but a 1275 Mini head. Not that it makes much difference, there is nothing special about the Metro Turbo head apart from sodium exhaust valve stems which most people don't think are necissary but it's allways nice to know the history of what you have bought....

wow.. :0 what about engine nr? it says that it is 1989 mini metro turbo :) So how i can check is it metro head or not?? where i should take a look? yea, off course it is good to know :):):) The Metro heads also had no bypass hose.... opposite end to the heater pipe and underneath, Mini heads have a small tube going down into the water pump, Metros don't. But again, it is easy to modify a Metro head and add this connection. To tell a Metro Turbo head, the safest way is to take the rocker cover off and measure the diameter of the valve stems - factory Metro turbo exhaust valve stems are larger than the inlets. But it's no big deal, the differences are minor, it's just a case of knowing what you have got. Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |
