The other rotary Westfield!

Thanks Casey...

One more little gem from this week, hand formed collector, using nothing more than a hammer, some hardwood knocking blocks, vice and a abrasive chop saw.  Welded it with argon back purge, don't want any lumps of oxide heading into the turbo!

Hiya Jonathon, Any updates mate....tubby conversion?

Slowed down a little as I cut my finger off with a chop saw...  don't ask...  have been patched back up though and have started making progress again.  A long way behind with everything but hope to have first start in about a month.

sounds very painful, and messy too, like something out of a horror movie 

At least you can still type on the keyboard

Progress is being made:

The turbo is in place on the scaffolding

I'm also now the proud owner of a 1974 Mazda REPU...  except it is 3000ish miles away...

Got a bump to come and update you guys,  turbo conversion is finished and we are out racing again.  I have taken on the timing and mapping duties my self and currently tuned to 9psi...  not sure I’m going to need too much more, enjoy the fun from the weekend.   First FTD and also the overall course record:)
