Stredrotor's RX4 Coupe * Project 20B *

A bit more forward progress.....

Got the pipe layout sorted, think it will flow ok

Just got to sort out the transition piece on top

Couldn't help myself and did a test fit in the engine bay

Now have to have a think on how I'll plumb the wastegate.

Finally got a few days to make this manifold

Tacked manifold to 25mm plate to help stop distortion......

Welded and turbo bolted on.....

Fitted to engine to see how it fits.

Now to fit the wastegate pipe! .

After a lot of thought decided to plumb the waste gate straight off the collector under the turbo.
I know it's probably not the best location for flow but there was really not enough room to run three separate runners.

Here's the pipe tacked up.......

...and test fitted in engine bay.

Pipe welded on and wastegate fitted

And bolted onto engine

Next is step is to send it off to get the mounting faces machined flat.
