turbo under the car?
Turbo Mini Forums

Hello i was wondering if it isn't possible to build the turbo under the car? a little underbody modifications, 4-2-1 manifold, straight to the turbo... it would be nice i think?

Guy on here has done a similar thing, have a look in show us yours section

Metro turbo weekend driver,Mini turbo in the making again!

what engine are you using? because you will have too many pipes if you use a 4-2-1 on an a-series!

a metro 1275 A+, why? only the exhaust pipe from the 4-2-1 to turbo, the oil and water feeds and return and air. because i will be using a T2, but with this guy, the turbo is far away i would put the turbo in the middle for faster respons. My T2 has water and oil in and outler, but do i have to use the water in/outlet? and why is the oil outlet such a smale hole in comparisasion the the inlet of the oil? thanks

What Leonard is saying is that the A-series only has 3 exhaust ports

I think you might have the turbo oil inlet/outles the wrong way round. Outlet is bigger than inlet.

And yes I think you mean 3-2-1 (but that dosent work either) but like an LCB.

Not hugely practical in this country with the amount of speedbumps we have.

TBH, I'd just stick with a standard turbo conversion and once you have mastered that, move on from there.

yehh, but it sounds nice, a turbo under the car, ok but with 4-2-1 i meant a spaghetti manifold. WHat do u mean with LCB?
