Re: '74 X7 Turbo rwd -spring '17 prep
Hmm, rtv. Was planning to apply some "high temperature" on each side on the gasket this time. Flares in progress, needed modification due to larger wheels... =) http://forumbilder.se/G7FKM/img-4102.JPG http://forumbilder.se/G7FKM/img-4101.JPG http://forumbilder.se/G7FKM/img-4131.JPG Electr...

Re: Ducktail spoiler 99/900 hatch
The spoiler you have is for a cc right? I have a modified cc-spoiler on my sedan, a look that I prefer instead of the original sedan-spoiler where the spoiler sits on top of the lid. Is the plan to make replicas of the original sedan spoiler or a modified cc-version which fits the sedan (like below)...

Re: '74 X7 Turbo rwd -spring '17 prep
Got some work done on the manifold today, had some leakage around cylinder 1 and 4 last year. Welded against something stiff and grinded to see where it needs material. http://forumbilder.se/G7ERN/img-4090.JPG 1st weld. http://forumbilder.se/G7ERN/img-4091.JPG Grinding round 1. http://forumbilder.se...

Re: '74 X7 Turbo rwd -spring '17 prep
Probably back-pressure related, my exhaust is quite open and catless. Its a common issue when running theese turbos with low backpressure.
Thanks, its nice to improve some details after each season.

Re: '74 X7 Turbo rwd -movie time
Had an issue with rising base boost last year, this should help I hope. http://www.forumbilder.se/G762H/img-3940.JPG http://www.forumbilder.se/G762H/img-3951.JPG Cooling fan setup is changed, gonna run a setup from a 9-5 with dual fans.

Re: '74 X7 Turbo rwd -movie time
Been spending a lot of time during the christmas vacation with convertering my brothers c900 from auto to manual, which will turn out great :) http://www.forumbilder.se/G73E8/img-3782.JPG Finally got the centers painted, gold with black bolts, a classic combo. Think it will suit the car well! http:/...

Re: '74 X7 Turbo rwd -movie time
Nice! Where have you found the artec flares? Actually there is still more height in the original wheel arches, so one could cut even more... The boot spoiler is the cc-part, modified quite a bit to fit the radius of the sedan :P I'm not a fan of the original sedan one. Yes, the driveshaft failure wa...

Re: '74 X7 Turbo rwd -movie time
Thanks for posting. I saw your mod on the Turbo Sweden forum. Was going to send 99Super the link as he was looking for a fix on his larger tires. Sorry, I'll try to be better on updating this forum too :) I think (or hope) that the overall look of the car will remain good, altough we're talking mor...

Re: Twin Scroll Turbo
Nice thermal management, brings new ideas for myself aswell.
Always a great feeling when one can daily-drive projects with a lot of custom solutions! Keep it up!

Re: '74 X7 Turbo rwd -end of season trackday
Much better arrangement than what you had before. Are you planning on supporting the turbo other than by the manifold itself? Pretty large mass cantilevered off the head by the time you add the downpipe. I'm not familiar with that turbo. Is it a twin scroll? If so did you add a divider at the merge...
