Beige likers of the world unit, this oppression has to stop.

Great job BTW.

finished the manifold today and bolted all up with the turbo, i was surprised how easy it was to make the manifold so if your considering making your own it's not that hard.

Hold that thought until you have some mileage on it.

It looks good, but the job isnt proven until the manifold survives a few thousand heat cycles without cracking at the welds.

And unless I simply cannot see it, it also looks like the manifold is holding the entire weight of the turbo and eventual exhaust... any plans for a brace?

if it was just 2mm tube manifold like on race cars you definately need a brace, but this steam pipe is at least 5mm thick.

Doesn't sound beige...

Damn good effort Alan. It is always good to start a fresh engine for the first time and hear your handy work. I have spent many years rebuilding big 2 stroke motorcycles. It is always great to hear them start fresh. Now if only I could make a greater dent in the collection in the shed.

Well done... now for the first drive down the road.

Just browsing another Forum and came across probably the most amazing rebuild Ive ever seen, considering the absolute pile of junk he started with.

Ive rebuilt a few Landrovers from ground up and done a bit of fabbing but this guys project has just blown me away.

check it out, , cant wait to see what the finished product
