The Meissner Thread
Re: The Meissner Thread
has crossed my mind ,1760-1800 kent with a pre crossflow downdraft head,44idf Webers etc......but it's not rocket science to make your own downdraft head out of a pre-crossflow one..

Re: The Meissner Thread
Y151 actually ran with a turbo at one stage. You should try ti get in touch with Peter Gough - maybe he can shed some light on it.

Re: The Meissner Thread
Knowing that Willie Meissner was in the uk ,and the era that he lived in , did he ever dabble in making downdraft heads? and has the straight six engine he apparently used to develop concepts on survived?

I don't know. I was a small boy in ZA when Willie was in the UK.

Re: The Meissner Thread
I think the Y151 turbo predates the Meissner OHC, but I am not sure of that at all.gotpinto wrote:Does any one have any knowledge or photos of the turbocharged Capri road car that Willie Meissner built to develop the turbo system that was used in the other Racing Mk 1 Escort,any specs on the Capris engine,did it run a 1300 or 1600... did it run the Meissner OHC
I found these photos on an overseas forum,but they state that the photos come from South Africa....Is this the turbo motor from the racing Escort(Y151's brother)
Any feed back appreciated
You guys need to get hold of Peter Gough, he may have some answers. Or maybe Koos Swanepoel. both have good memories.
