Pipe work
Turbo Mini Forums

Quick question for you lads. The MG Metro carb on the top of the inlet theres two pipes i know the side one goes to the brake servo but where does the one go that sticks straight up or is it not needed? and also the one directly behind that one is that just a brether?

Should be a one-way valve attached, and as far as I can tell from peering at the ERA minis website, the one on top goes to the breather system . There should be a red lump of plastic with assorted pipes that go to the breathers on the timing housing and the flywheel housing, and the other outlets go to the air intake and that lump on the top of the inlet manifold.
Any use?

I ment could you tell me where to pipe it to on a starded mini or you just leave it as in is it done away with on the mini conversion????

are you on about on a NA carb mini ?
and a little brass pipe pointing towards the bonnet on the right hand side as you look at it on the manifold ?
ifso block it off

Go buy yourself a Metro Haynes manual

It contains a schematic of how to connect up all hoses and breathers to do with the metro turbo engine.

Manual won't do much when you can't get a manual!

ONE SIMPLE QUESTION LADS WHERE DOES THE PIPE GO THATS ON TOP OF THE BRAKE SERVO PIPE

ah i know which one you mean dude............



i have absolutely no idea where it went on the metro so i blocked it off with a bit of hose and a bolt in the end.

now now boyo!

i think thats a feed to a breather pipe, which acts through a pressure controlled valve, so when your at idle it can breath, but when on boost it can't

theres a couple of metro manuals on ebay mate, and they are only about ?5

Every other person on here has managed to get a Metro manual, available from any halfords store, or from ebay, or amazon, and do some research and figuring out for themselves, why not try it rather than CONSTANTLY ASKING QUESTIONS IN BLOCK CAPITALS IN AN ARSEY TONE.

sorry mate better!! no caps

if your not going to use the standard turbo breather system, use the little k&n type ones. then you can take out the valve that sticks up and either plug it use the hole in the bolt for something else( dump valve pipe) or i used a normal aspirated bolt with no hole in.

p.s everyone who uses this site WILL offer lots of help when you ask UNLESS you start being a muppet (not calling you one!!). the haynes manual is available from any halfords stores(will need to answer it though) and to be honest you cant build or maintain a mini turbo without one, its a must!!

have you got a digicam if so post a pic with an arrow pointing to pipes etc and try and work some stuff out for your stuff out for yourself youll learn more that way.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
