Try www.toohighpsi.com they've got a ton of carbed turboed cars.

and tuning a carbed car isn't really all that hard

you just gotta make sure there's allways fuel in the float bowl, and it's allways stoich.

boosting a carb isn't all about the carb. it's about timing and carb.

I.E Cadracer; runs a msd BTM to keep some timing changes, if he didn't have that ...kablamo motor,

like i said .. not all carbs are " turbo-able" any thing to do with vacuum setups are a no no ... must be mech. cause ....well the obvious..under boost ..there is no vacuum.... and while your carb needs a vacuum to funtion, it's not goin to give fuel ... or some where around that " theroy " i'm not a know it all in boosting carbs, but i try... don't blow your self up in the prosses.

also , type " blow thru carbs for a search, see what all they modify in them ..

The best of luck

 

There are two method to boost carb.First is when the carb is ahead of turbo http://wwwrsphysse.anu.edu.au/~amh11...bo%3D450hp.jpg The turbo has mix the petrol and air.The advantage this method is better mixed air+petrol and better density mixture(cause mixture are refrigarate becouse fuel is resteaming)
The second method is when carb is behind turbo(traditional, like Multi or single point injection ) http://www.teamtoyminator.org/tracks.pr/1216041.jpg (nice looking engine )
This method has better equal Supplying for cylinder,and turbo don't explode This carb must be in absolutely hermetic

 

Not to sure on the carb my buddys got. I do know that its a dual carb setup. And some bullshit about he now has to run mixed gas. I just helped him put the turbo setup on it, i dont know much else about it. We do have someone coming down from outta state to tune it.

If i remember tomorrow i will take some pics of his setup.

 

thanks for all the help guys i finished it tonight and i will take pics tommrow! it is not much faster but i think it needs a lil bit more car ajusting! pics in the AM<

 

Why not just snag the whole fuel injected setup from MX5 all the way to the ecu if you don't want to go MS?

 

i took it all but the way my motor sit in the truck the throtle body would have sat about 1/2 inch form the fire wall and there were a few other things i ran in to the stoped me form doing it!!! o ya the ecu plugswere not the same, so i would have had to rewire the whole truck! i found a car already modded for boost and the adapter plate to put it on so i did that!



but i just woke up so i am going to go snap the pics to post but brb!
