LCB manifold
Turbo Mini Forums

does anyone know if there is a difference between a LCB for a mini and one for a metro?

I have used mini LCB's on metros, i think they could ideally do with being about 3/8" shorter, plus the metro engines move about a fair bit as there is no top steady so the pipe can pop off if you do dump the clutch really hard.

Hi,
I'm fairly sure the metro one is a little longer, I may have read it in the blue bible?
Cheers,
Gavin :)

My Mini build diary

does it exit at a slightly different angle?

maybe i have that the wrong way then,

it was YEARS ago lol,

i dont think the angle was different, maybe slightly ofset to one side, but as i say a mini one will fit.

the problem that i have is that i brought a 3 into 1 type manifold for the mrs car and the angle that it exits is completely different to the one that i took off, rather than pointing straight back its slightly to the passenger side, which doesn't allow the link pipe to fit onto it as it should...the exhaust would end up exiting in front of the passenger side rear wheel..
just want to get my facts correct before i ask for a refund.
