Austin Allegro Sleeper Project part 7: Turbo & intercooler plumbing + steering!

Published in Video

Austin Allegro Sleeper Project part 7: Turbo & intercooler plumbing + steering! The daft project Allegro of Jonny Smith continues in the FabCo fabrication shop. In this episode Adam fits a 'quickrack' steering rack and extended steer arms from a competition MK2 Ford Escort (thanks to Motorsport Tools for supplying). Further up in the engine bay the final position of the Owen Developments turbocharger is decided, and Adam gets busy prototyping the wastegate and manifold pipes at the back of the engine. There is now a full size radiator and intercooler behind the Allegro's front panel - something the car has been striving to achieve (unsuccessfully) until now. Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show. The wheels are now finalised, and these 5x100 Golf steels mimic the same slots as the original Austin, but are now 15-inch (so as to clear disc brakes). Huge thanks to Heritage Parts Centre ( https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/ ) for channelling their VW expertise with helping to source Golf rear calipers and mk3 front hub assembles in order to convert the car to 5-bolt without spacers or redrilling.
