Even got the inner fender to fit. If you mounted the primary just an inch higher, and used a tighter oil drain fitting, probably wouldn't have to mess with it. I had to "massage" it for oil drain clearance.

Thanks guys.

I am anxious to get it running too. Unfortunately I am out of the country right now, won't be able to mess with it for awhile.

On the plus side, seemingly everything here in Trinidad is diesel powered. #2 is approximately $1.14 US per gallon.

It would be nice wouldn't it.

Actually I miss understood the guy, they sell it by the gallon, not the liter.

So it's 30.5¢ US per GALLON. No ULSD, either.

Someone asked about that awhile back and was going to do it don't know if they ever did. The problem I see with that is running the exhaust from 2 turbos that close together.

Got most of it finished up. Hopefully will have it running tomorrow.

Here is the hot pipe:












Rebuild H1C with GDS 60mm kit and 12cm. I drilled it out to 15/16" and removed the divider before the WG passage.. I have a few pieces to rig up for the 1.5" version yet.








The Y'd oil drains:
