Yea, according to the entry list to last years Midnight Sun Internationals (biggest race here in northern Sweden) there was:

8 Streetbikes (bracket racing)
18 Supergas Bikes (9,5 sek index)
16 Pro Street Bikes (60" NA & 59" Turbo)
2 Super Pro Street Bikes (68")
2 Pro Twin Bikes
1 Funny Bike
4 Super Twin TG Bikes

Dragracing isn't exactly the biggest sport here in Sweden cry

Jul 2008 at 03:56 I noticed you have cut the cross member out of the frame right under the exhaust ports where the turbo/headers are.... why? Strictly for turbo install/clearance?

Jul 2008 at 07:24 hey TG I've also done this, needed to provide extra clearencefor the header. Mind you the header I've used was from a slingy, that said I welded in a new crossbar between the slab front engine mounts.

I whas bothered with that same question to, i didn,t had the guts to remove that bracket thats why i placed my kkk under oillevel and made the pick-up vacuum oildrain system.

If you can place your td higher then oillevel that would be the perfect route, i will save you from headaches.
Oildrain system that i use is perfect but the road to a perfect system can be a pain in the ass.

Been there Grin

I would much rather have a tougher route to proper scavenging than have to cut my frame (again/some more), or place the turbo very close to the front wheel.

Mounting it lower will make it easier to route the boost pipe, and easier to fabricate the header. I think I will go this route.

I have some questions regarding the reed-style vacuum scavenge.... will start a thread in Forced Induction...

Cheers,

TG

Jul 2008 at 09:44 Cutting the cross member has been many times before and I have never heard of anyone having any problems with it. This part of the frame isn't really the most important for the overall strength.

R1100 Dino-egg Posts: 35 Gender:	Re: Oldskool Slabside Turbo Dragrace Project Reply #27 - 30. Jul 2008 at 08:39 I made my pitot removable. The tube is 8mm outside diam and the opening is 4mm. Then it's plastic tubing to the carbs (6mm outside, 4mm inside) and they split with a T-connector just before the carbs. Now i cant find the note where i written the jet sizes down, but everything is pretty close to stock.
