the middle one on mine runs straight to the plenum, the left and right run to the inlet pipe of the plenum, one on either side, there are pictures in
my archive.

How have you attached the plenum to the carbs? did you remove the plastic tops and bolt directly on to the carbs? have you got a picture?
Andrew.

Ive been having trouble getting mine to seal, im running short rubber joiners but there isn't a lot of room on the plastic.
I thought about doing the same as you, but there seems to be a recessed area on the bottom of the plastic part and I didn't know how it would
affect the jets under the trumpets if I put a plate directly on top, mine is on a blackbird but I think its the same setup.

looking good! youll soon run out of space though especially if you fit an intercooler and pipe work

As you look at the plenum inlet the left and right 10mm pipes go to the left and right feeds on the carbs, the middle one inbetween the 4 carb outlets
goes directly to the middle pipe that is inbetwwen the carbs, if that makes sense, that should cover the 3 you needed to know.

I missed one, the bottom right one in the picture goes to the fuel pressure regulator.

so if i take the four carb air feeds to one of my 10mm pipes and the other end to to my carb breather, then all i need to to is a new outlet to my
fuel pressure reg. Or do i need to do that.?.

You should probably use one. Did you know that tthe charge temp will be about 120-150 C when it leaves the turbo!
Are you using a mallapassi fuel presure reg?

120-150 C when it leaves the turbo!. No
Useing a regulator from a metro turbo.

Yup, that hot!
The metro one is a malapassi item.
Same as used on the early carbed lotus espirit turbo.

Nice one with the regulator then.
So maybe a intercooler then?
But some people dont use them.

yes you will need a feed from plenum to regulator.

Intercooler will always be worth it. It'll lower charge temps and allow higher boost pressures.
At the very least it'll lower charge temps and reduce chances of any detonation.
Shouldn't cost much more than £100 for a nice one, including any hoses/clamps you need. Definately worth every penny.

How much boost are you running?
My car running 7 - 9psi has an 'uncooled' charge temp of less than 40deg on 18 ambient.
Couldn't sensibly fit an intercooler so went for WI... With that running, the charge temp drops to around 25 deg on 18 ambient with 100% screen
wash.
All temps measured with a thermocouple in the airbox inlet.

will look out for an intercooler may be on ebay.
so i need to put another feed for the regulator.
are any of you using a air fuel ratio meter with a lamba sensor fitted.
and i dont know what the boost will be yet, engine needs a selector fork still so may even get some turbo pistons.
