this turbo?, Blow-Thru, The blow-off valve. 4) The radiator, The
oiling system, The wheels, The clutch, The
starter, The overdrive. 6) Diary: 5/11/00 thru
6/21/00 8) 12/2/00 to
12/17/00 Revision in a major way:
AFB, manifold changes,adding waste-gate stuff, boost control valve
9) 12/28/00 to 1/14/01Funky Hobbs switch, regulator mount, blow-off
valve#2,testing pneumatics, fuel pressure gauge 10) 1/16/01 to 2/22/01 Some updates and conjecture on calculations
of HP, ET, MPH, piston speed. Some rumination on manifold design, and my
attempt at a variable plenum/runner manifold. 11) 2/22/01
The Mk II version of the carb spacer plate with H2O injection and air
injection to seal the carb. Buttoning the whole thing back
together. The Vortex tube discussion. 12) 3/5/01 A
remarkable discovery and musings over my advance curve. Modifying a
vacuum control for boost retard. 13) 4/15/01 and
beyond Plumbing in the air filter on the "cool side" of
town. Preparing for takeoff....again. 14) 5/26/01
Takeoff....again. Dialing in to make it practical. 15) 6/20/01
Finding the culprit, and the suspense of getting to Back to the 50's a second
time! 16) 7/30/01
Red Wing and into the fall. 17) 9/7/01 Piston slap,
more dialing 18) 11/1/01 A hood for the hood.....
a new air hat 20) 12/19/01 Drilling holes in
carbs and more advance monkeybusiness 21) 2/19/02 Diddling with the

again, ready for trouble 24) 7/1/02 Back to the 50's and beyond
25) 10/02 Building a belt drive turbo 27) 1/03 to 10/03 Further escapades If you are building a project of a similar vein, link up with me...... Or, send me some info on the project and I'll make a little space here
for you. Click here and Check these other nuts
out! Click here for Links
These are links to cool turbo sites that have been helpful to me and
are a great source of info to anyone with turbonistic tendencies.... I
try to keep it current. Any pissing
