started making my manifold today, its going to be a suck through turbo systemthat draws air/fuel into the turbo and boosts it into the engine, about as simple as it gets

heres some pics










and here is where the carb is going to go



what do you think?

Mad any more pics.

Dan1281

not many, only had my phone on me today and its got a shite camera on it

its going in this



and if it works well i may swap to this turbo, not wasting it on it if it doesnt work well though, the T3 will do for now

the whole maniold sticks out less than 6 inch so its nice and compact too and because the pinto has 4 seperate exhaust flanges instead of one plate it was quite a a pain to line everything up, i'm actually quite pleased with my design though apart from i may eed to open the hole up with the plasma cutter on the turbo flange, that hole was just the biggest hole cutter i had

cant wait to crack on with it, need some mig wire, ive run out

might be easier using a renault 5 turbo carb as ive heard it fits on a single choke carb manifold without to many mods.

Dan1281

aye thats the one i think lol

the R5 carb wont work, its going to be a suck through system, not like the R5 blow through system

that manifold is just too restrictive you really need to redesign it imo
eg the gasses from pots 1 and 4 have to hit the back of the manifold then turn 90 degrees then look for the exit!
all the gains from the turbo will be lost in the poor design of manifold IMO
fair play for a having a go tho

the tube is 2 inch and the box section is 4x2, its got a lot of room in there, it should easily flow for what i want it to do

i may possibly angle the ends towards the centre yet rather than just capping them off

Nice project ive built a pinto turbo over the last four years but mine is Injection.

I've had a pinto turbo for a few years now. Built this for the manifold



I'm not keen on the idea of using carbs with a turbo, blow through is the only one that is safe.
But suck through is the one that can end up in a big fire. If your going to keep the suck through setup make sure you have a recirc dump valve across the compressor inlet to outlet. Don't try an atmos dump type.

Hi,

I also have a Pinto Turbo with carb. We actually start the rebuild this week.





This is a Turbo Technics conversion with a "pressure-suited" carb, a casted exhaust manifold, and low compression pistons.

I initially thought that the Renault R5 Turbo uses the same principle, but I saw an R5 Turbo in France this year which has a "suck-through" carb...

I have one remark on your manifold:
Is it made from stainless steel? Otherwise it will probably deform because of the high teperature.
A friend of mine experienced this with his Pinto Turbo with injection.

Good luck with your project!

interesting do you need a injection/unleaded head,injection rods,mint crank???

pm me if your interested
