Turbo rotary Fiat 600 project

[600gaz]

Still waiting for all the front suspension bits and brakes too turn up :Snoring . Meanwhile the inner rear floor , turrets and bulkhead tinwork is nearly finished . The new sections have been bead rolled too match the original floor pan pressings .

Dropped off the inlet manifold , turbo , front wheels , front wings and flared front arches today . We\'re still waiting for the front suspension bits :Snoring so moving onto the turbo install and wheelie bars for now or else the project will grind too a halt .
Took a few pics so i will post them up later after i\'ve finished work tonight . :yes

Aaahhh the engine, the most important piece

[600gaz]

Sure is mate and it\'s a nice fit in a small car like this . Will try too post pics later but Photobucket is playing up at present . :Hammer

[600gaz]

RX7 engine fits in bay perfect . Will be a tight squeeze with wheelie bar brackets and big turbo install though .




Front end waiting to get chopped once the bits finally arrive of course .

Cheers Chaps . After some head scratching we\'ve decided too mount the turbo onto the chassis with a small frame too hold the weight and then make a one-off tubular exhaust manifold to it\'s new positon . Exhaust side will face towards bulkhead and air filter side will face outwards (save burning people when they look in the back) . Inlet will run across bulkhead into charge cooler and then into throttle body (hope that makes sense) .
I need too speak to Jaydee and Ed and get their input on external wastegate size and throttle body/inlet pipe sizes etc etc .
It\'s getting to the exciting bit now so i can feel a bank loan comming on so i can get it driving sooner !!!! ha ha :Giggle

Keep the turbo piping the same size as the turbo outlet, but fit as big as possible charge cooler for ultimate cooling.

Where are you getting the cc from?

[600gaz]

Using one of those AVT charge coolers like the one on yours Grant . They do a complete universal kit as well which is handy .
Need a fuel rail , injectors and throttle body soon as well as we might need to lower the inlet manifold down a bit too make more room and don\'t know how much room we have ? Do they run 2 or 4 injectors for 500+bhp ?

some great fab work there dude

you\'ll need 4 injectors no matter what to get it to drive smoothly

850 primaries and 1680 seconds are the norm for most 500hp setups

[600gaz]

Ok thanks for the info mate .

[BlitzBoy]

Yeh the kits are prety damn good, comes with everything you need instead of sourcing bits here and there, I remember you saying the CC rad is going at the front of the car?

Might I suggest running the CC water pipes through the car, that way you can avoid getting them damaged.
