Started mocking stuff up for the intake manifold last night. I hate that it all fits perfectly in your mind, but as soon as you try, the original plan gets compromised. Down side to working on bikes with limited space I guess.
The plan as of now is to mount the turbo in front of the rear tire, above the swing are pivot. It will be hard-tailed so no worries about that. Then the intercooler will sit above and behind it and will be fed hot air from the side facing the tire. (Im dreading making the end tank, as it will be very tight). Then the cool air will come out the front with a pretty direct shot at the throttle body, which will sit straight out and centered to the cylinder head/ports.
After doing some calculations, I came up with a 2" runner length. Sadly because the injector bungs, It wont be as easy to make them adjustable, so that will have to be a project for another time. About the only way would be to make the runners bolt onto the head/plenum flanges, and build multiple sets of runners with injector bungs pre welded in each. Maybe on the next manifold I guess
Really starting to stress about fitting everything on the bike too. After the turbo/intercooler/intake manifold/ piping are on, all the space from the rear tire to the head is pretty much used up. Still have to fit the megasquirt box, fuel pump/regulator, intercooler water pump, battery, and im sure more stuff I'm forgetting.
