Tnx Shag!
Its finally back in the car too. It feels also still very weird bolting a 1200 40horse engine to a 911 3,2 Carrera transmission with a 228mm HD clutch set-up :lol:

Yeah, he really ran a parallel twin-turbo (2x GT1544) 1200cc single R5 carb engine last year.
Hence the 1192TT (1192cc TwinTurbo) badge.
His will be EFI'd this year.

The german 1200 Dynochallenge is cutting edge :wink:

Build goes slowly and deadline is July this year. Lots to do still.
To create a little more room near the turbo and to seal up the internal gate better, I welded it shut:

Not yet Mario. I had/have a very busy few weeks with other things that had priority.
Only thing I did was block the fuelpomp hole with a neat billet Empi alu block-off plate and replaced the oil drainbolt with a magnetic one ;-)

Indeed Mario :wink:
Managed to finally make plugs for all the extra injector holes so I could install the manifolds:

Now its time to fabricate all the tubing before, after and between the turbo's...

Drysump bottom pulley right? What are you doing for fan speed? Top pulley wise ;)

Looks nice! Best of luck!
