Six-seven Turbo Projekt

[Hotrodvw]

I don't think the deck lid is going to work out, at least not like this.

[Vee Dub Nut]

heh.. you could route your exhaust out of your weber window

think standard stand offs will do the trick, or is it going to take some custom touches?

[Hotrodvw]

I don't think stand offs will be enough.......maybe 4"-6" worth of extension will get it on there. Where there's a will, there's a way! If that doesn't work, There may be some 'lightening' going on.

Can you stuff the carb farther back into the right corner, and use a 45-degree elbow to between the carb manifold and the turbo?

[miniman82]

An SU carb would be a much better choice for packaging reasons...

[Hotrodvw]

I'm not changing carbs Nick.

I thought about trying to 45 it in there, but I'm not convinced it would be enough. I'll make it work.

Don't tempt me!

[miniman82]

It's not too late for injection, and I know you could make it look purdy with all those tubes and hoses you got access to.

[Hotrodvw]

That's next winter's project.

[WickedWagens]

I know you just put it there, but you could gain a little moving the fuel pressure reg.

[Hotrodvw]

How so??? THe reg is mounted to the back of the shroud. I don't see anythign to gain there.

[Stripped66]

Maybe he was thinking relocating the fuel-pressure gauge (though I doubt it's standing tall enough to interfere with the shroud any more than the carb is). However, I also vote for angling the carb back towards the front corner of the engine bay. Very clean looking build, BTW.

[WickedWagens]

Yes, Sorry I meant fuel pressure gauge. It looks like it is sticking out the farthest where the decklid is curving back towards the body.

[Hotrodvw]

If you look at the 90* fitting it's threaded in to, it's going to hit that if the gauge isn't there. So really the lid will only go down another 1" or so. I may look into the 45* thing.... we'll see.

[miniman82]

Just do like the Fiat 500/600 racers do:
