A-series Turbo Setup
archive: A series suck through turbo setup by James Empson (twitch@bigpond.com)
It's a suck through setup. The turbo is an IHI RB6, originally off a Mitsubishi Galantᵂ 2 litre. The setup consists of a factory A15 exhaust manifold that's had a turbo flange welded onto it, and the standard exhaust flange is welded shut. The inlet manifold has been made from scratch and looks like it should flow evenly, there's a 'U' shaped pipe that connects the turbo to the inlet manifold. There's a 1.5 inch English SU which mounts onto the front of the turbo. The inlet manifold is suited to an Oval port head, the SU is a 1.5 inch. There is a Hobbs switchᴳ on the inlet manifold, this could be used to trigger water injection spray.
