what the ---- is that??? looks like a v8 with turbo but why does it hook straight to the carb/intake mani?? no intercooler or bov?? something looks very ------- weird but i just cant figure it ???

Radiator cap??? I though it was a Stant BOV??

;D

radiator caps will hold 13-15psi

Re:Ahahaa
 
Radiator caps hold a set amount of pressure before they leak. This is a great idea. I could make this for the price of a turo plus 15$.

Re:Ahahaa
 
wouldn't that act as more of a wastegate and not a bov though?

rad caps will say on them how much pressure they'll hold, sometimes it's in Bar and sometimes in p.s.i.

LMFAO.. really cheap rednecks lmao his valve covers cost more than his setup

:o Talk about your low budget setup. I give it credit for the 37 cent turbo kit

Re:Ahahaa
 
lol thats good ----!

radiator cap would work fine..

also that turbo is a hellava lot more then 37 cents ::)

He's running a Demon carb and he is being cheap about his turbo kit? Very cool idea though. One thing I don't really understand is why he is only running one turbo off one side of the exhaust. The other side is just a normal exhaust with no turbo?

Re:Ahahaa
 
shoot that's a big turbo, he's probably piped the exhaust from the other side into it as well
i want a turbo v8 ;D

that's what i was trying to figure out

Tom-Guy 11-05-2003 11:05 PM

Re:Ahahaa
 
The exhaust is piped around from the other side, if you look at the huge turbine on that Schwitzer, that's the only way it would spool.

Car is 79 Trans-am with 455, Demon carbs don't like boost as the gentleman found out so it now runs a 750 DP, and it's only a low boost, low revving ride since 455 cylinder walls are pretty thin. He pushes ~8 psi, the anemic piece of ---- only runs 11.3's.

The Stant is there as BOV and overboost poppet valve. I like it. :>

Re:Ahahaa
 
Technically we could actually run one of these as a boost regulator. It would help bleed off boost spikes, in conjunction with the wastegate and bov. If the reaction is quick enough, I don't see why we shouldn't run something like that. I think I will actually, I wonder if I can find one for like 8 psi...

i want a race demon carb :o

;D
anyway i think the psi reaction time for the cap to pup out will be too long anyway :-\

what are you talking about? it would leak past a certain psi, kind of like a wastegate, it wouldn't have to sit there and think about it before it did it, unless it's been drinking, i don't think you would have to worry about reaction time
