can you tell me what this pipe is for ? oil or fuel or something else.




Also is the little electric box thing needed on my regulater , i think its related to the metro


and on the bottom of the turbo what pipe goes on.

do you mean the engine breather ?

[mini_lad_deacon]

on the turbo underneif about --------- in diameter

[ERAturbo]

or the oil feed pipe?

[In-a-mini]

The only pipes i see are the engine breather and the pressure sensor pipe. black rubber goes to brass piece on the turbo then another piece of pipe goes from that to the actuator. are they the ones. If not there should be a bluish pipe 90degree bend about an ince in diameter that goes from the turbo bottom to the block that is the oil drain. Or.... there should be an oil feed pipe on the top of the turbo core that goes to the front of the engine this may be solid tube or a flexy braided hose. hope that helps.

The other pic shows the bleed solenoid this is usually controled by the ecu. i would ude it and run it to a switch in the car as if you dont run this or another bleed valve the boost will be permanently set to 4psi. which is ok but you will get bored

[mini_lad_deacon]

longg black pipe that u see .


bit confused

[In-a-mini]

Pressure pipe from the turbo goes to that black bleed valve thats with the fuel pressure regulator.

[mini_lad_deacon]

so that pipe goes to regulater and then obviusly the ova output on regulater goes to carb?

You need to read what people are putting because most of the info has been already said at least once. I don't mean to sound harsh but you have started a lot of threads and there are a lot of people adding advice.
I sent you a pm when you first posted with two sites to visit one has all the info you should ever need to know if not the Haynes manual that covers the metro turbo has diagrams on how the engine is plumbed in.

this for the last time. The unit in the orange and black ring is the solenoid bleed valve if you want to run at max 4psi boost throw it away if you want 7psi then fit it to the pipe from the turbo which is in your first pic and last pic with blue and orange arrows. You can alternitivly fit a manual bleed valve to the same pipe but all depends on what you want.

The pipe from your fuel pressure regulator (the top one) goes to the plenum chamber the tee piece went to the ecu if your not going to fit it you can blank it off. you have the carb one correct.

I'm happy to help just as long as you listen/read the advice.

[mini_lad_deacon]

digital boost valves they any good , also turbo timmers , can they be used with metro turbos

Sorry for the hi-jack but would you mind putting those sites up, I'd like to read up about doing a turbo conversion rather than trying to shift through lots of irrelevant posts.

don't worry about all the digital cap, go on ebay an buy a £15 bleed valve and a boost gauge.. when the engine is running i the car set it to 7psi and lock of te bleed valce unless your rebuilding the engine
