I'm not actually sure, bought it with the manifolds off phil! havent really looked at it before now!

to be honest i just thought it was a non-water cooled R5 turbo! i really havent taken a look!

i have a slightly larger one to go on yet but havent got the cash to mod it as needed.

i've found out what its off now, lets hope it does the biz!

its off a rover 2.0 TD! either montego TD, Maestro TD, LDV 200 series or even a perkins marine engine!!

we'll just have to see how it goes, its got 0.35 exhaust turbine and it has 0.48 stamped on the compressor.

aww a little diddy one hehehe

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

Does that mean that a Turbo Diesel turbo could fit? I always thought that the compressor was relative small. can anyone fill me in?

not sure i'm using it yet but appears to be very similar to a R5 trim in size. i'm no expert though!!

more work done. engine's in and turning over. just about to get oil pressure sorted.
then there is the turbo to fit, carb, oil feed to turbo, and ecu to sort plus intercooler.

wayhey nearly there!

In fact your colser to being ready for L2B than I am (

Got oil pressure easily now on the starter and turns over well with the plugs in.

Shame i'm going away a week today as i'm not too far from its first fire i reckon!

I reckon you have lots of work to do, that crazy mix of red and green will never work LOL!

Bung a dizzy in and get it fired up....
I have found my spare if you want to come and borrow it?

Wicked! that's great progress Iain!

May do that cheers tom. i'm just waiting on my oil feed for the turbo though before i can fire it up.
if i have time though i'll just dig in and get the ecu wired up!!
think a good couple of days and i'll be sorted. it will be when i get back from russia though no doubt.
yeah the green and red doesnt actually look as bad as i thought!

bloody hell!! iain's going to be ready for avon!!!

Team Racing

fingers crossed i will!

Come and show you all how its done
