Re: looky what i found....

a carb works by pulling gas in as air flow by
add more air and it pulls more gas
the air into the engine works like a cacume for gas

Ah yes, If only I trusted main bearing spacers I would already have the ingredients to build a 377. A virgin 2 bolt 400 bock missing the main caps (perfect excuse for billet splayed caps) and a virgin 1182 crankshaft. Just need some 6.2" rods to add to the mix. Oh, and some money to build the bastard. :P

Good luck on the build 78NOVA.

Sounds like a good plan. A turbo'd sbc is no joke. I just never really got how a carbuerated vehicle is tuned. I guess I'm too new school... :'( Some sort of rising rate fpr? MSD BTM?

hey noob, shut the ---- up and go to honda tech you bastard. this sites main focus is HomeMadeTURBO.com, not HONDA-tech.com you prick. oh and i also own a honda too, i just prefer domestics. is there something wrong with that?? so i vote ban to you. ask everybody here and they will tell you the same thing. THIS SITE ISNT BASED ON IMPORTS AND HONDAS BEING TURBO'D!!!!!! its a site for HomeMadeTurbo projects.......

No, it's a good thing. Those 301's are piles of ----, and it's about the worst blow through carb implementation ever. If HMT existed 27 years ago, and GM joined to show us their setup on the turbo 301, they'd be flamed into oblivion.

Nice ol' beast. I have a 87 standard cab yota with 263k miles and it keeps on tickin. You guys wanna talk about power.. how about a 2.4L (22r) carburated, exhaust leaks, bad alt/battery maybe getting 55hp and 80lbs trq and i still race anything under the sun. The best part is when the other driver doesnt know and you win. On the other hand when you get beat by a grandma and her 97 camry V6, its a lil embarrasing. Soon it will change This summer i'm hoping to do a low compression rebuild with the idea of boosting it. Some older models came stock with turbo's so exhaust manifolds will be easy to find. The only thing holding me back is that damn carb... and i really dont feel like switching to EFI. I have the dream of dusting EG's with my 2.4T running on 35" swampers. Ha oh the day
