Out the bonnet somewhere? On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

need to be under the bonnet really. Could of course make some bulges on it, but would like to avoid that, and I think it should be possible to avoid it as well. |

Obviously in the "Weber" box at the back. Nice and central and a free area.

I'm with Paul on posttion, but depending on what turbo you are using, getting it low down the back will be best for CofG. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination, talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol On 20th Apr, 2012 Paul S said:
I'm mainly concerned about swirl in the runners caused by the tangential entry. |

Interesting choice of manifold pipe sizes. might be able to squeeze all that pipe and the turbo in there, but wont it be VERY hot inside the box there then with nowhere for the heat to go??? Also, what do you think about the sizing, bearing in mind all your simulations? Many thanks for your answers! |

However, bore wise then you need to go a bit smaller than normal NA. Roughly speaking, the length determines the frequency of the reflected pulses, the bore determines the amplitude of the pulses.

Passenger footwell? too many tubes obstruct that. Also it would mean major surgery to include that as a part of the outside and not the inside of the car (due to series regulations) |

Roughly speaking, the length determines the frequency of the reflected pulses, the bore determines the amplitude of the pulses. should not be too far off then. This was calculated by a company that deals with manifolds and sells tube to make them. They needed quite a bit of information like cam details, bore, stroke, cross section areas and the like. what do you think about the temperature issue that would arrise if I place the turbo in the miglia box in the bulkhead? |

It'll burn the paint off in no time!

ports are slightly above the cross member level, so its not that bad. I could also angle the engine somewhat. It will burn the paint off with just the tubes as well I guess though.

You could also put a big rad on the right and the turbo on the left to balance it out. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

might be a possibility that! I think it will be easier to place the turbo on the opposite side to the belt, and then I could of course put the rad where it usually is. Edited by miniminor63 on 8th May, 2011. |

been out looking at the possibility of having the radiator by the belt. I have room for a large one, say 40x50 cmx 50 mm thick, but it would need to be placed along the brace bar and there will not be much room for any efficient ducting I think, so back to the drawing board??

you need to show us the turbo Andre - if its bigger than the disco potato on mine you may struggle to get it up high like mine is!

its pretty much the same dimensions as a GT2871. The compressor side is either 7" or 7.75" across depending on which unit we pick.

Is it possible to place another boxing below the crossmember to accomodate it there above the diff? as im guessing youre not having a heater... Edited by Carlzilla on 9th May, 2011. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

not a bad idea that, but it will make it difficult to get to, also I need to measure to check if the room there could be large enough. |

I'd put it where Johnk has his. There should be plenty of room, especially with the bulkhead box you have. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Cant see how I can manage to fit all the exhaust manifold I want with that placement. I need to get the heat away from the head as this will be used for 30-40 minute races |

janspeed style sounds like the best solution if your unhappy about putting it where John has his. |
