carb suitable for turbo
 

Hey! I'm trying to install a turbo in a beater i have.. it's a 1.3l with 75hp. my problem is where can i get a carb that is suitable for turbo or can i modify an existing one. Thanks.

Re: carb suitable for turbo
 

draw through = no mods needed

blow through = weber, holley, etc. weber will work fine, go pick one up from a jaguar

where can i get a used draw trough carb? webers are way expensive here.

Re: carb suitable for turbo
 

go to a junkyard. look for a toyota pickup with a non-stock carb or an older jag/bmw. standard carb price, it's a stock carb.

Re: carb suitable for turbo
 

any weber will do? and what do i have to mod to work?

Re: carb suitable for turbo
 

nothing for draw through, noob

Re: carb suitable for turbo
 

you're right about that. i don't understand ---- about installing a turbo on a carb'ed car. this is the car and the stock carb:

now, about the jag or old bimmer stock carbs. Those cars are really hard to find.. Toyota Pick Ups are all diesel here so.. no carbs!

you're wearing a sweater. you british?

go find an old american car, truck, tell me what the carb is on there, or get a jag SU carb, and mount it to the turbo compressor inlet. those are good carbs

that's a friend of mine. No, not british.. Portuguese. I'm looking for an american car for years to restore. Nothing yet! The usual carbs here are Varajett,weak webers, Piersburg. I have an SU on a '77 Opel but it's probably too small to use with boost.

Doing draw-through, going from NA to turbo, expect to have to rejet that carb... So pick up one that can be jetted easily.

You and drill the jets if you have an index drill set, but you can't undrill - so be careful.

renaul 9 and 11 use weber 32/36 also fiat 128 and 132

Re: carb suitable for turbo
 

weber 32/36 carbs, jetted right, run out of flow at 150hp or so

Re: carb suitable for turbo
 

the has stock internals so i'm counting on 100hp only

Re: carb suitable for turbo
 

+1 for the weber carb blowthrough

make sure you block off the float vent from the topside (jb weld and a shaped piece of metal to hold it in place) and the choke rod. other than that, you should be good
