If only building the bits was this quick! lol

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

lol i wish, its a nightmare trying to merge two pipes

can i ask did you model the head yourself or did you manage to find a model online that can be downloaded ? If its the latter do you have a link to it? cheers luke

Hey Luke sorry but i modeled the head myself, took far too long.

Although i didnt model the turbo, got it from this site. http://www.3dcontentcentral.com/default.aspx
just register and its all free

how well is this going to fit in the engine bay?
still looking really good,
but have you thought about just making a link pipe from the standard MG turbo manifold?
or a mirage even?
seem's like that could be an avenue you for you to have a look down....

Thanks for the encouragement

The engine bay is an issue at the moment, im trying to keep the distance from the head mounting face to the furthiest part of the manifold below 125mm, but the purpose of this model is to give me an idea of how much tube and a rough price.

I had thought about the standard manifold option and its a perfectly good option but i just felt that id have a go at something a little fancier.
the next iteration will be a bit of a mirage spin-off so we'll see.

i think a link pipe from an injection manifold might work well..

Yes i moved to the darkside

Instagram @jdm_brett

again,
also a good option,

any thoughts anyone?

sshhhhhhh, that's what i'm currently working on!!

Thats looks very nice mate!

I didn't know you modelled the head too, fair play!

You'll have to show me how to use this program, looks like a very handy tool!!

Yeah i concur, Top work and top skills pal

trust me i doubt your the only one....lol

here one I knocked up from an LCB manifold

Mike great work, i notice your not far from me, where abouts in Oxford are you from?

is that a bit of an acute angle into the turbine mike ?

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

rubicon im always up for a challenge what are you thing?

The angle was not as bad as the picture make it look..... but not ideal either.

It did go pretty well. Very impressed with the performance only ever did a few laps around the houses as I needed to sell it for space money and time.

I will see if I can dig out some more pics

nice mike,

chris.
im thinking of maybe you could make a ''kit'' which would use the standard T3 metro manifold?

i bet these would be sought after as much as the mirage setup's,
id rather have one,
just think about all the different size turbo's you'd be able to run.....VNT's....

let me finish this manifold and ill have a good, should be simple enough

Mike the bracket holding the turbo is great, does it clear the subframe ok?
