Hi Everyone,
So, it's been three months since I converted my 50,000 km old, hand-built, NA type 1 AS41, German fuel injected cased engine, running stock crank & rods
into a blow through turbo set-up.
The mettle runs @ 7.8/1 static comp., blowing through two
modified (but not that much), 36 DRLA Dellortos.
Modified 050 heads with stock valves, running heavy single springs.
Stock crank n rods actuating a Brazilian AP3 cam.
Turbo is a Garrett GT-17, sourced from a 2002, 95 Saab
with a welded exhaust housing, permitting a synapse style, external wastegate.
Boost is presently @8psi.
I have not been too nice to it of late, and have received zero terminal warning --@8psi-- of immanent hand grenade.
I am happy to post this build and the *methodology* employed -- with pics -- if there is any interest.
Cheers.
