Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

Well I picked up this 89 dodge daytona on saturday. It was pretty slow as expected on the factory 6 lbs or so. The car has a warlbro 255 so i turned up boost to about 12psi. Kept blowing off I/C tubes. Fixed those and drove all day yesterday. Goes pretty damn good on 12psi, but the cheapo ebay boost controller crapped out on me today, I was getting inconsistent boost, and eventually spiked 20lbs to fuel cut. I pulled over, and threw it across the parking lot. :1

Im going to be redoing all of the charge piping, and well as added a nicer intercooler. Also going to build a 3" exhaust from the 2.5 swing valve, and dump it behind the door. Back to stock boost for now until my turbonetics MBC comes in. :8

Heres a few pictures of the car. Need to lower the front, I think the previous owner installed the front perches wrong, Also may get a set neon approved gods wheels. (srt4)

I'm not a big turbo dodge fan but it looks like fun.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

ah, so you dont plan on keeping the engine?

grab a rope.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

These engines are pretty stout. Hell Ive ran 12psi non intercooled on my truck and it has a cast crank.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

your not runing any management all the while your doubling the boost. your not making any more power man. your just wasting gas and making noise and heat.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

depending on your setup, if you run a carb, you dont need an intercooler.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

Wow, your ------- stupid. The factory map sensor can read 14.7 psi. The factory computer will manage that with no problem. Theres a deffinate difference between 6psi, and 12psi.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

On my truck I was running a centrifugal supercharger with no intercooler. It is MPI, not carberated.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

I don't care if that thing is boosting 50 psi and had a million horsepower. All of those Gaytona's, Lebarons and Lasers are all ugly as sin and ------- homorific.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

youre retarded. explain to me how its ok to have super hot IAT's with a carb and not fuel injection.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

You cant explain that. Because there no reasonable explaination.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

Yeah, so what? Its nice to have something different you know? Im kinda into the body style, I like it, so thats all the matters.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

Typically, a correct air/fuel ratio will create about a 45F temp drop when fuel vaporizes in the carburetor. this temperature drop, with a cold, damp day will usually cause the throttle to freeze wide open under boost.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

Just ignore the haters.

I'm not a fan of those but I don't see anything wrong with them. If you can make it fast, good job.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

Well that theory could be correct. But you typically measure IAT in the manifold. So you would still not want a hot IAT. I have never heard of carburetor running boost have the throttle freeze open. Ive seen carberated cars running Ice box air-water intercooler with meth do just fine. The cooler the better. ;D

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

um... it is the carb that will start to ice under boost.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

I'm pretty sure something will need to be around freezing temperature for it to freeze.

I don't see heat dissipating that much. If it's 60 degrees outside, your fuel temp isn't going to get under 60 degrees. I'm also sure the air going through the carb will be warm enough to keep it from freezing.

Freezing should only be a problem in cold cold temperatures, when you're getting very little airflow...like at idle.

Then again, I've never owned a carb'd car.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

your retarded, you can run up to 15 psi on a stock tune with a turbo dodge, thats where the factory fuel cut is, all you have to do is throw in a different map or a bleed and rock 20psi all day long on pump gas with no problems

I miss my turbo dodges I want another one, I love them I like how people like to hate on them cause they are kind of ugly but fact of the matter is I can throw less than $500 at one and blow the doors off your civic with a basic hmt setup

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

this is only for a blow through setup. allot of rx7 guys do it to their first gens and run serious boost.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

Post a picture of a frosty carb, with no intercooler. O0

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

What's causing the temperature to drop?

The fuel, carb, and air will be at ambient temperature or higher, so where is this freezing temperature coming from? I'm not saying it's not possible, I'm just asking how it is possible.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

He is saying that it is happening from the gas becoming atomized, but I think he is thinking that it is experiencing a phase change (from liquid to gas) and thus absorbing more energy (in the form of heat loss) but I'm pretty sure when fuel is atomized its just being broken into very tiny little bits of liquid, not actually becoming vapor/gas, and there is therefore no phase change, and is therefore very unlikely to experience icing in a carb. Just my 2 cents though.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

Thats what Im saying. Under pressure the air temps will be rising. So the more boost, then the hotter its going to be not cooler. It should be more likely to freeze with out any boost.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

taken directly from wikipedia and is even mention in corky bells book.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

Well, atomization is what occurs, so the heat loss wouldn't be because of phase changing.

The temps between the fuel/air will just balance out. Of course it would take a bit of math to figure out what temps they would end up, but it doesn't matter because the temperature wouldn't be reducing to freezing temperatures.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

on below 60 days my weber would be frosted on the outside. it's truth.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

i have never heard of it, but coming from kain i would almost believe it without proof. He has never bullshitted me on anything.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

usually this happens because some webers dont pass coolant through them to warm em up.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
 

nice car, theres not many o them left in MD
