alot of work gone into this by the looks of it but has done the best job ever super neat and it looks as if it is a small bore motor this was taken from http://turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=4952 just to make it easier to read


You can see the 2 fuel rails in position,these are nothing fancy,just an old cavalier one cut up into bits and cheap fittings welded into the ends.Jenvey charge a fortune for there own super billet,mega light,mega bling ones.A shagged out Cavalier one costs pence from a tat yard,and if you get ut wrong first time there are hundreds more in the yard waiting to be fitted to a decent car.

Shows just how small the RHB5 is compared to a T3,you can see the exhaust/waste gate housing bolted into place.The elbow for exhaust pipe is an 2" bsp pipe fitting from a plumbers,the tapered seat on the end for the exhaust flange was formed by building up a bead of weld an machining it to the correct shape.The oil return is also a bespoke item,again just made from scrap.You can also just see the exhaust manifold adapter I made sticking out of the heat wrap.

This shows the inlet manifold adapter made to to allow the throttle body to be fitted to the MG Metro manifold.The metro manifold is a better shape than the Turbo one.Again fuel rails for both injectors clearly in view.

General hot end assembly,easy to see the home made exhaust/wategate end.

How it all fits under the bonnet,the intercooler pipes are mandrel exhaust bends.

still a fair bit of room around throttle body and plenum chamber.The plenum chamber internals I believe are crutial for a good turbo set up.

The second injector is just out of the picture,you can see its electrical connection plug just sticking out.A heat sheild has to be made to protect it from the heat of the turbo





I hope this makes the picturs a bit clearer,if any body wants anything else explaining or construction advice,just email me at arvgkarv@aol .com,I will try to answer your questions or send a specific photo of what you want.

Graham.

That would have to be one of the neatest and most complex A series conversions I have seen. Very nice...

There is only one problem here I can see. The firewall is going to get so hot you won't be able to put your feet on it. I hope he can get good heat shields in there. Other than that very neat.

Everything I like is either
illegal, immoral or fattening.

And as usual with any Metro turbo type install, you have to hack the firewall very seriously (and then brace it, and get it engineered) or there's no way the turbo will fit in.
Lets have one detailed like that, but with hair dryer mounted over the clutch housing...

Good lookin system you have there Graham,,,well done mate!!!

hope it all works the way you want it too

my thoughts were to actually angle the 2 injectors into the inlet manifold, sort of one either side pointing down the throat opposite it,,,if you know what i mean,,,not too sure how you`ll go with one on top of eachother tho,,,interesting to see some dyno results when you`re all done.

cheers.
