Hurricane Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 was workin on the motor till 12 last night, was f@$ked buy the end !!! finidhed all the piping pretty much just some lil things to do now. well made a flange so the pipes could joim to the single weber manifold, made a stencil first, then maked that out on some stell plate, drilled the holes, and cut out the bigger ones with a hole saw, don't think the hole saw was up to cutting steel that thick as it tolk for ever to get through. then had to make the bends up to the top of the rocker cover to get to the rest of the pipe, i just used some 180's the cut the bottom down so the bent would be closer to the manifold. then came time for one of the harder parts, making the Y peace !!! pretty much spent about 2 or more houre making it, just cut the basic angles then just keep grinding it down till it worked. it can up shit hot though i thought.

Hurricane Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 well made the Y peace so tacked it in and all the pipes were now joined :) so cut out a peace above the rocker cover so i could get the two pipw on and off the motor, then welded it all up with the oxy, was a lil rusty on the oxy welding as ive not done a lot of it but i think it came up ok never the less. well be workin on it more today so might have a lot more stuff done.

Trev Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Ha it reminds me of the 13B induction over the top of the engine, Nice :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 yeah it does look a lil like 13b stuff HAHA a 13b would be good :) and yes its a CD175 well moded a T28 8psi gate to fit onto my housing, came up or, just had to cut it up a lil and weld some threaded bar on it so i can fix it to the housing, painted it blue to satrt with as it look a bit shitty not painted with all the wld and file marks on it, but then it turned out to look shit blue i thought, so went to black LOL might even change it later to :( also made a bent to go from the carby to the pod, but desided to go a lil bigger in size (2 1/4) pipe, so went to South Geelong Zorst and got a 180 bend, oh and also got a carby rebuid kit for it, just got to get some bigger jets now so i can see what works best? going to get more parts tomorrow also :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickZ Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Doing a great job, But that is a long way for fuel mix to run. can't you spin the compressor housing around so the outlet is at the top so the pipe run be shorter? sometimes with a long run like that youll find when you backoff the throttle the engine will continue to keep the revs up for a few seconds and slowly come down. Now i bet someone is going to say, Intercooling piping can be long and it doesnt do that, Correct because its not mixed with fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesrolla Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 turbo set up looks neat as, how does it rust on the stone tray or is it some bog lifting or something? poor little naked rolla, that rust under the battery tray seems pretty common, ive had it in most of my ke20s, and in my new one I'm surprised the battery was still in the engine baY and not on the ground you gotta post a vid when its going james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 yeah i havent seen one with out rust there yet :) and ill most defantly have a vid up when its back together and running a turbs setup if it all works :) did some more work tonight, cut out the gearbox hole in the tunnel a bit so i can make a new one, that it done better than the peps that did it before i got a rolla. then found some rust in the front of the sill i will be cuting out and fixing up, slack peps just boged over the top if it <_< . it look worse in the pic than it really is also :o and just a pic off it up on the stands. well thats was aabout it not really a lot of work done, as i was f@$ked after work and pretty much sleeep after i got home, then only had a lil bit of time to work on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
