What shape is the 2H engine in? How many kms does it have on it?

It's a old 2H with a complete rebuild and no run since the rebuild ( just few minutes ) ..

How much hood clearance do you have? Worried at all about hitting it when the engine rocks?

I'm not worried about the hood clearance .. didn't take a exact measurement now, but sure more than 6" of clearance .. I will take anote about this when I'm back on the garage on saturday ..

Almost done ..

Any updates?

I can see that the air cleaner will be re-located to the right side, but what will you do with the battery tray?

Second verse, same as the first!

Henry,

Are you gonna go turbo? Did you obtain a manifold or are you still strategic planning??

Still strategic planning, though I'm pretty sure turbo is the route i will be taking. I have a Bandeirante power steering gearbox in the stock location, and the power head on it takes up an awful lot of space. So, the idea of putting the turbo up high with a flipped manifold seems to be a good direction. If that means that the air cleaner can't be used in its stock location, then either I will have to go with a Dobinson's mounted out on the fender, or with an aftermarket air cleaner that can be tucked into place somewhere. I'm not sure i would want to relocate the battery and re-configure the wiring, but that is of course another option.

I'd like to get a hold of a dead 12H-T engine for parts. For one thing, it would be nice to bolt the crankcase web stiffener plate from the 12H-T into the 2H. It would be even nicer to retro-fit piston skirt cooling nozzles, though I also understand that there are alternative piston designs that tolerate higher temperatures and make the piston skirt cooling unnecessary.

My engine has just over 300,000 km, so i know it is a borderline candidate and that the turbo will likely shorten the remaining life of the engine somewhat, but the benefits of the turbo seem too great to ignore.

Please excuse the thread hi-jack!

The two piece manifold is probably a better design than the one piece, it seems to me.

Don't know.
the one-piece I had on for a year did not leak.
also, most turbo kits come with a one-piece, and don't seem to leak.

The 12HT pistons have a "hole" in them... Like a spoon... This gives the 12HT lower compression..
I know people that have run 2H turboes with way too much boost (no wastegate, min. 17psi) 100 000 km's without any issues..

nice job there tapage...
shoot a vid with that rocking setup when you get a chance...

That's good to know- thanks!
