Mythbuster: continuing project thread of my 1303 '75

Nice one Wally! Did you put rope inside the cylinder to hold the valve or did you use air pressure?

Great idea with the jubilee clips, that would made it much easier for me if I had thought of that!

[Wally]

I used air pressure Paul. Killed an old compression measuring device for that a few years ago

[Wally]

The Berg double springs were about 35% down on spring pressure

Check your springs after about 2 years of driving I'd say...

Anyways, back tp building the twin scroll header:
Trial fitting:

Impressive, as always! How will you route the oil return line, with the turbo that low?

[Wally]

Welcome to the board Frix!

Oil return will run as it was before with the former turbo as its about as high or low as the other one was

[Sandeep]

Looks great Walter !

Well thought out, and looks like the turbo was meant to fit there.


Did you end up revising the down strut / cup brace ?

Thanks; well, I have removed it for now as it didn't fit at all anymore with the air intake in the way. I have not come up with another alternative then brace it through the firewall onto a cage support point in the rear...
Oh well, first have to finanlize the install completely with WG before I do anything drastic.

I also wanted to redo the piece of 2" pipe just after the intercooler (2,5" exit) and the T-split. The individual 2" pieces to the pressure hats can easily remain 2" imo, but making the intermediate bend from 2,5" just seems more logical:
