Re: New Member, 1st Turbo Setup

there are carbs that are meant for blow through setups. you can also make any carb work with turbos. i am far from a carb expert but i have done quite a bit of reading on it when i was going to turbo my 600 sportbike

pressure into carb needs to keep 4-7psi (on average) above intake. vacuum doesn't need LESS fuel pressure, but pressure needs more to flow properly. most floats can be filled with something if you can't find aftermarket nitrophyl float, but i wouldn't trust ------ rigging floats. as long as the fuel level stays the same inside the carb you're fine (think of a toilet tank valve)

look at images. explains carbs in a nutshell. holleys, aisins, etc, all have a float vent deal setup for whatever the ---- reason is, and boost hasn't effected this (technically it will boost into the float increasing fuel pressure, but rarely does)

Yes Just that to get the feel for boost, learn the tuning ect... which is why were going low boost on a stock motor.

And what of the second?

Not looking to make tons of power, I just pulled a 450rwhp V8 out of the thing :S Plans on the motor are to Stud the head, mild cam, forged pistons, ARP Rod bolts, and just a fresh rebuild. Set it up to hold 10-12psi. The car used to be a Street/Strip car with drag suspension and slicks, skinnys, ect... but we jus want to drive it now so a boosted 6 will stand out and still make some power.

Ive though about megasquirt setup in the future but I have cabrs galore that are ready to go so no need to spend extra $$ on a FI setup just now. Ive tuned holleys all my life so this is just 1 more.
