A simple quick one.
Are all T25s Liquid cooled or do you get some without Liquid cooling i.e. only Oil.
Probelm is on ebay I see some T25s and cant make out if it has plumbing for watter or not.

I would boost into the carb rather then vise-versa. maybe that's just me though. it's simple enough man. just make a turbo manifold, bolt the turbo to it, make a charge pipe that goes to an intercooler, then to the carb in factory location. put a hell of a jet on the thing, and run rich as ----, then lean it out as much as you are brave enough to. have a blast, post pics.

App is a 8 Valve carbed 4 cylinder swift engine.
There is a tube feeding the air filter from outside the engine bay. Should my compresed air join this tube. If it does then do I seal off the other entry. Whats to prevent my forced air being forced out what is the intake for the air filter.
Any pics of a crabed engine with a turbo
thanks
Please go to "wheelsjamaica.com" in the forced induction section. There is a guy that put a turbo on a carburated car. Long list of parts needed and technical information available. FYI...prices listed are Jamaican dollars so don't be alarmed.

I hope you will get the help you need.

how long have you been running 25psi On what style of turbo system. ( blow through or draw through ) are you running really rich on the low end.. what are you using to compisate for on and off peak boost.

how many sets of plugs have you melted

as for dellorto and Weber carbs they are only way to go.. they can be spendy ( if your in the US ) ( try ebay. )
webers are $100 used on average. ( 40mm, 45mm )

well please be specific on your turbo system. in that regard. its hard enough to set up a relaible system ( not like allot of tunners let these secrets out )..

I have only ran a max of 25 psi. but for daily use I run 15-17 psi. It's a blow truoght system(the only way to go) the way I get the carb to compisate for the turbo is to run a line from the output side of my turbo to the top of my fuel reg. this way I don't have to run rich as my boost goes up so does my fuel pressure.
i haven't melted any pluges and a factory weber is what i am useing

Ok striped the carbs today its a Mikuni with a built in fuel pump It has two holes on hole is 26mm in dia and the other is 30.

This carb looks really trick its got 4 diaphram thingies which work off vacum. Its a modern Jap carb I dont think I need to change it.
Ive taken some pics of the engine bay maybe somebody will recognise the engine and know what to do.
The carb looks like its got tons of features not yet implemented based on the casting. Need to figure out more. About this carb. will post pics soon. anybody with links to Mikuni car carbs.

I think a 2000 Mikuni is better than some 60s carb off a junker. But I could be wrong. Anyway After nearlly destroying this carb. Was up the whole night figuring how to put it back together. Here are the pics.

1. The engine Bay

(I will get one of the manifold Im pretty sure a lot of cars use the same type of exhaust manifold.

2. The carbs
http://www.eindiancompanies.com/car/carb3.jpg
http://www.eindiancompanies.com/car/carb4.jpg

In carb4 it looks like the casting is there to take some aditional do-dad that wasnt installed in this carb any idea what. Also there are two wires leading to the carb what do these wires do.
