Where to buy this? I thinked about sump welding but this solution is "god sent"

That is a bespoke fitting made by silver soldering a pipe fitting to a bulk head fitting. Its construction is described in the article I linked earlier.

You can get lots of similar fittings to that at your local plumbers merchant but they nearly always have a tapered thread. For this application you really don't want a tappered thread.

If you can find one without a tappered thread you will in effect have the same thing.

There are comapany's offering specialy made items but they all seem to be located in the states:

If the price of the fitting doesn't put you off the shipping surely will.

I don't have a clue where you'd get one from in Italy but you're searching for a barbed bulk head fitting or no weld sump return bung.

They comonly get used in hydraulic hoses but these are still usually tappered.

I'd weld it if possible, the sump sees a lot of expansion and contraction due to heat and that fittings the last thing you wan't coming undone. Most thread locks are destroyed by heat too...

Welding or brazing is probably the best bet. Unfortunately, most of the best welders in Italy live up the other end of the country!

I was trying to find some of the wonderful sump fittings in one of the American Turbo books -- I gave up after a few nights of visiting US web sites and US eBay.

Karolinoooooooo!!!!!!!!!



anche tu da ste parti?

boia quanto fatico con l'inglese

don't worry sbundu, alot of the UK members struggle with even basic English.

Karolinoooo is here! :slayer: :slayer:

Sbundu eh si, da dove pensi che mi sono fatto venire idee strane per la mia? Sono due anni che sto qua a quanto pare... (pensavo 1)

Was telling to Sbundu that I'm here already two years (was thinking only 1) and where he thinks that I've got all the "strange" ideas & tips for my project?

In Italy if you start to do something, maybe only an idea on an engine there's a typical answer - "buy a GT" or "and so why don't you buy a GT?"

But also in italy there's a big gift for the people, "PASSAGGIO DI PROPRIETà" (car owner change) that's is big **** expensive, and more hp has the car, more you pay... A GT costs around 600 650 euro only for owner change when you buy it. Also you pay around 350 euro a year only for having it (it's a kw based tax too). That's enough for why not to buy a Gt, but my question is not why not buy a gt, but "what I'm doing in a banana country like this?" In uk you have more fortune about that, but I know that insurance isn't always cheap...

I don't like the Gt by the way, it's engine, even if powerful, but I don't like how it's made and how it sits in the bay and no accessibility. Also 1.2 sounds more particular, for not talking about the satisfaction by making it with own hands.

No progress on the car for now, so a little bit "pub bull****ting over a pint" about Italy hehehe

You should really not complain. My other half lived in DK for a while and had to do the car registration things there. Words cannot describe how much they screw you on tax related things there when you happen to have the bad idea to own (any) car.

On the subject, I have never seen a GT, but I think it's technology from previous age, isn't it?

Uno Tub revisited. But tough old lump.

One guy said me the best words that I liked about a GT: "it's fast, but god, that engine is a dinosaur"

got one, it is essentially just a unoT engine with some stuff to bring emissions down to meet the newer regs.. I think Clarkson got it right when he road tested it ages ago, "Its like wrestling with a not quite dead cod"

I would say its a slightly bigger, slightly more under-steering version of my seiT but its so much comfier and feels more refined.

Hahahha, "to measure this car acceleration you don't use a stopwatch, you use a calendar" (about polo) Also wrestling joke is nice too

My project will run almost all the time on lpg, but for the 10% on petrol use, I need to think about fueling too.

I know that standard Punto 75 injectors are not good, maybe will use Punto Gt ones or something bigger.

What about fuel pump? The standard mpi pump and fuel pressure regulator are good for going turbo?

Also i started thinking about gauges and sensor.

Turbo oil feed - upper hole near filter.

turbo temp - lower hole near filter

Where to measure oil pressure?

(I know, always the same questions, I know, sorry)

Double tee off the lower hole by the oil filter. Oil pressure is very low on the FIRE engines at idle, though -- looks like a high volume, low pressure design.

The P75 injectors are the standard size. Wise, though, to make sure you're using something of the same impedence unless you're using a more modern ECU.

i also own a 75 and have been thinking for some time to convert it to turb, i have a coupe of spare engines and turbo's from gt's and also intercoolers. the problem is the wiring into the megasquirt .. any help ???

It's massively documented, the megasquirt.

All you really need to do is work out how you're doing the engine relay, then label every wire from every sensor on the P75 and likewise on the Megasquirt loom. Then connect them up.

what do you mean by engine relay ?! i have the diagram for the punto 75 loom, pinout its called i guess. thats of good help right ?!

Engine relay is usually used so that you're not trying to operate all the circuits from a teeny weeny little cable via the ignition swtich. There will be one somewhere in the stock P 75 harness.

Pin out is useful, but since the pins are different, a wiring diagram is of more use.

Use lots of labels sellotaped on the wires.

I just msgd you mate

I will use Megasquirt 2.

I think Punto GT injectors are for me.

For the double t, sorry for stupid question but how it could be made? I must make another hole?

Just check the impedence of the injectors

They're sort of 'Y' shaped, so one end goes into the hole near the oil filter, and one takes the sender for each guage. You can buy them from folk like Demon Tweeks, Car Builder Solutions, etc. or get any competent machinist with a lathe to turn one up. Brooky is said to do them while standing on his head, eating his lunch and whistling the "Internationale".
