998 Turbo Build - Update
Turbo Mini Forums

It's 1665cc.

A bit big for the 998 but probably about right for a 1275.

That's using 100mm tube. At 80mm tube it would have been around 1050cc. That would have been too small for 998 or 1275.

First assembly of the completed manifolds:



Now I can get the inlet and fuel injection tested on the NA 1275.

Looking good, nice fabrication.

holyu smoke that looks cool....

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

That looks the dogs danglies! :)

Sorted the oil drain and breather.

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

Woo Hooo

It's alive.

Just ran it up on a carb and dizzy to bed the cam in. 2000rpm for 20 mins will do for now.

First positive step forward since seizing the 1275 EFi test mule engine in Febraury.

Couple of oil leaks, oil presure gauge connection and a rear tappet chest cover bolt seal. Easy to fix.

I'm going to refit the Megasquirt and coil pack this afternoon.

I'll soon be able to resume the Siamese code trials on the EFi.

6 weeks to Avon. I wonder

Ah, was wondering if you would not have bought another Mini to rebuild meanwhile LOL.

std 998 A+, g295, MD266, RHF4, 109hp @0.8bar/5400rpm

Excellent news, my offer of a 998T prize was obviously what was needed.

Good luck

that would be great to see it at avon paul .well done so far .

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

3 years on and I finally have the turbo fitted.



I know the Dump Valve is not in the ideal place and that has caused the intercooler pipes to kink - hopefully get that sorted next week. Need to move the throttle body to get the DV in between the TB and intercooler, then the problem with the pipes should be resolved.

Bought a Fiat Uno Turbo intercooler as a temporary measure whilst I hone my welding skills to finish making my own.

Hopefully do some road testing tomorrow to see if we have boost.

i thought the dump valve was better before the intercooler?

I thought it was best just before the throttle disc :-

what i'm thinking is when the throttle shuts if the air is dumped before the cooler it will have less going through it, so will cool down quicker.
