altYesterday the Turbo Pressure Adapter for the carburetor was fabricated. From a stainless steel plate, some hydraulic pipes and a DN50  pipe this unique part was made from nothing more than an idea, 3 friends and plenty of coffee. Follow the manufacturing in pictures.





Thursday afternoon after work I went to a workshop at Mongstad together with 2 friends. We had an idea of what to make and a Dellorto to fit it on.
alt
The stainless steel plate was found  and shaping started.
alt
The contour of the carburetor was marked onto the plate.
alt
The 40 mm holes and the fixing bolt holes was drilled on the bottom plate.
alt
The DN 50 (2") pipe was fitted to the endplate.
alt
When Stein Kyrre and I says that WE are going todo  something it always means that Martin end up doing it...
alt
And when Martin do something its always done right.
alt
Stein Kyrre took the role as Master Designer and introduced the radius corners made by splitting a pipe.
alt
Distance pieces were turned to the right length and fitted to the mounting holes.
alt
The box was welded together and the last plate placed.
alt
Last welding before grinding.
alt
After a rough grind the Turbo Pressure Adapter was fitted to the carburetor and it fits like a glove.
alt
And here the turbo will press in the amount of air that both the turbo and I find suitable.
alt
When finished it will shine like a star.
It is Friday, its weekend and that is just perfect!
