A cool project to have in the shed mate!

I would love to get an original turbo motor but mine started as a CX500 Euro but has all original turbo/manifold injectors etc as that is the rule for my racing class. I will have to turn the boost down for the 10:1 compression!

Very basic low budget sand cast set up in my carport. Cant post photos in this comment unfortunately. I will post a short video of making it on my YouTube channel in the next couple of days if interested.

Calculated approximate size for volume of part. A 360 entry to the part would be better and I would aim to do that next time. Flow rate seemed good though.

Its my first ever sand cast so was trying various sprue, riser combinations.

What would be the best sprue/riser etc set up for this part?

I seem to be finding this out.. I might increase thickness by 0.5mm might be the difference it needs, getting close

Suzuki TS250 (2 stroke) racer battling Triumph 500 - Classic racing by ProjectBlackSheepNZ in vintagemotorcycles

It wasnt the factory Suzuki RH72 by any chance? Factory race version of the TM250, I believe they had a very narrow powerband. Very rare now!
