metro turbo setup diagram needed please and a few ?'s
Turbo Mini Forums

hi basicall my engine out of a metro turb is now fitted but non of the pipes are fitted and having not taken them off nt sure what pipe geos to where if you know what i mean.
im basicall looking for a sort of diagram on fuel air pipes from pump / regulator.
also looking to fit a dump valve have read a few threads on here but non telling where it needs to be located for the easiest fitting.
i understand i need a modded plenum chamber for the pipe to the valve to go to but where deos the other pipe the other end go to for the best as using everything from a metro turbo setup.
it also has no intercooler or ecu as it the ecu has been taken off.
has anybody got a picture on what hole is need to block off to run without the ecu as can only find pictures of engines complete and hard to tell what has to be blocked off.
thanks for all help and info

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Have you got a Metro haynes manual? This has all the diagrams of pipe connections in and will help you greatly.

Otherwise try the search function, as there is definately a pipe connection picture on the forum somewhere if you look for it.

hi yes sorry just after posting found a great thread on here with a full diagram on it of all pipes to be connected to the fuel side of things.thanks for all help
if any info on the dump valve will be great while i drag up thread after thread searching lol
thanks again chris

the dump valve can be fitted anywhere after the turbo, but before the butterfly in the carb, and the signal to it should be plumbed to after the butterfly in the carb.

most people put it on the plenum (by welding a 1" bit of pipe to it), and tap the manifold for a signal, like below:

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

thanks alot this pic helps a lot
glad i was informed about this site
and thanks to all the people who make it a great site
