Hi all, ive been reading a bit about the Janspeed turbo conversion they did for the metro years ago, now the writing bigs it up a bit naturally but I was just wondering if anybody has any history with it/using it?

Seems to me just a marketing ploy by mounting things in different places, one advantage was not having to make a bulkhead box I spose. *happy*

Cheers Lads, Steve

Cheers, Stevo

The Janspeed setup is a pretty good design, with the Turbo mounted over the clutch housing allowing cool air to pass over and around it. This also keeps the heat away from the carb, unlike the Metro.
Carburation is through a Dellorto 40 and the Turbo is a Rotormaster unit with external wastegate. Head is mildly worked and chambers opened to drop the compression, pretty standard otherwise.

LMAO@ Dave !! *laughing**laughing*

No i bought it off a guy who'd had it in a lockup for about 12years, it was for his kitcar project. Anyway he never used it and was wanting to move abroad, so i stepped in and handed over a few notes.*wink*

hmm, now is that as in there are a few cans of beer left in the fridge after midnight at a welsh rugby players house party, or few as in there are a few cars stuck in a traffic jam on the M40?
