Today was a general checking out of my theories [!].
I also finalised the POC fitting of the exhaust.
By no means finished as I have not yet cut / modified any of the random bends I bought. I want the “welder” to check everything out first.
So, imagine the front pipe bends much tighter to the head and the 2 in to 1 collector will be parallel with the two pipes – just to clean up the aesthetics.
I have a good run into the turbo from this setup, but of course that cannot be finalised until the oil pump / hosing is in place. I still have the option of repeating this on the other side.
Now I don’t have to use the oil sump I bought [ !! ], I now have some extra space for the battery [ under swingarm ].
I will have to remove my electrics undertray and re-site all the components [ drat ], but that’s just an annoyance rather than a problem.
