My manifolds are made from 38mm stainless steel. My engines are very different from other people. I use carburetors for turbo applications as they work well. Fuel injection is good but carburetors work too.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Models:<\/strong> 1977 Reliant Kitten<\/li><li><strong>Owner:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100002875918486\"> Andrew Thompson<\/a><\/li><li><strong>Accessory:<\/strong> Turbo<\/li><li><strong>Turbo:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/product\/GT45-T4-T66-Wet-Float-AR.66-AR-1.05-GT45R-V-band-600-HP-600PS-Universal-Turbo-Turbocharger.html?tracking=blog\">GT45 Turbo T4 V-Band 1.05 A\/R 98mm Huge 600+HPs Boost Upgrade Racing Turbocharger<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is my 1977 reliant kitten built mainly for drag racing, built with a budget, and mainly out of second-hand parts.
