Think I have a teflon liner and 0.8mm wire. Mines a (modified) hobby mig

That buggy looks like so much fun!
You could always wrap the manifolds, no welding to be seen then

it will be more fun with a turbo! :)

I only said new liner as the old one is likely to be full of dust etc from the mild steel wire running through it. Could lead to contamination.

Inlet will be sortor like this


Well I sort of listened and lengthened the centre runner, now they all have 3ish bends so are equalish length :)

Ran out of gas for the MIG though :(

my welds look MESSY :(

That looks like it's worked out quite well, the longer inlet means the centre branch can be longer. Should together make for a good increase.

What's going on with the belt of 7.62?? Really not something that you should have lol.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Cheers mike - I dunno it there would be space in a Mini for all that?

good spot madmk1 - it's for zombie hunting

That's ok then you will need more then that lol that's only 2 bursts lol

Paul S would that manifold work with a carb'd engine?
And you wouldn't happen to have a pic of the engine in a Mini would you? So I can get an idea of packaging and stuff.

Cheers

It would work with a carb.

I love that engine pic

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

We are hoping to shoehorn that lot into a steel front Mini sometime soon, as well as the other one pictured ^.

Going to use a twin pass intercooler and re-route the intake pipework to get it to fit, but it's a bit challenging.

ahh good news then, i thought all that development was gone never to be seen again

tiny little a series look lost in the middle of all that :)

Yes i moved to the darkside

Paul, what software did you use to model this?

I can't say because I do not have a legal copy. In fact my cracked license has ran out and I can't afford the $1000 a month for a legit copy

Sir Yun has detailed some reasonably priced software in his simulation thread.

Been trying to remember what them mini kit buggys were called for ages^^^ ? Please jog my memory

1966 MK1 1034CC TURBO MINI

Paul if I may ask a silly question maybe, with having a manifold with such long tubes, would you be losing some of thebheat energy in the exhaust which could maybe be beneficial for the turbo ? To be honest I just fabricated a log style manifold for my 998cc turbo project, thinking it was better performance-wise... only now I'm reading this thread. What are the thoughts ?

Also what bugs me the most on the other hand with a log type manifold is the fact that the two outer exhaust ports are directly connected, and thus it would be easier for the gasses from one of the outerports to be expelled to the other outer port rather than to the turbine.
