turbo charging webers

Rajay 'RotoMaster' Turbo possibly the best Turbo manufacturer in the world, with speciallly fitted (on suspension mounts) WEBBER Twin Choke 45DCOE Carburettor

ROFLMFMO what a load of b******s, f**k 'rotomaster' sounds like a turbo zet to me.

Also there is no form of charge cooling which would mean you would melt pistons due to a ultra high charge temperature.

Also that turbo would be pence from the states not ?1k. Rick

you could fit a charge cooler - in between the outlet of the turbo and the inlet of the head? not that i know anything about turbos im just guessing

not like im gonna bid on it - i just saw it and got excited because ive always wanted 40s and a trubo - thought i could have both ::

well mayb u can mike!
:D

personally I wouldn't have the turbo so close to the carb, but yeah it would be more reliable that way round. I wonder how far from the head you can have the turbo without the fuel droplets falling out of suspension (if that makes sense). Perhaps some fins in the inlet tract to swirl the mixture up a bit. would be good to see though.

heres my not so artistic impression (nowhere near scale) of how I'd start off.



mmm. grill mounted carbs .

oh yeah. it would probably never work too

Oh dear, people gobbing off without putting much thought into it. You can run turbos without ANY form of induction cooling, yes you don't get optimum performance, but it does work. The setup in question is actually off a VW Beetle and is a very common setup in the States, it's what they call a JYT (Junk Yard Turbo) setup. Basically they go down to a breakers and make a turbo setup for pence. I wouldn't mind, but Rayjay are now owned by Turbonetics and actually make turbos for tractors! But back in the mid 80's they were they're own company, and were one of the top turbo producers in the states!
Back to the point in question though, draw through setups suck (bad pun), they're only really any good at wide open trottle, and usually have crap driveability compared to a blow through setup. alot of people have talked about doing a blow through setup on a nova but I've yet to see one. Come on guys, the info has been posted many times on these forums, someone get out there and actually do it!

I can't believe what I'm seeing :o :o :o

The optimum operating temp of a Turbo is 800 deg C :!: :!:

I have had severael seriously modified turbo-charged cars over the years and I for one would never ever try and put petrol through a Turbo :o :!: :o

DO NOT TRY IT :!: :!: :!:

thinking about it if u want t40's and a turbo why not look at how they set up the turbos on motor bikes????
might b worth a look!

[Chris_W]

Oh, and if you want to see a picture of a proper draw through setup like Derek's picture above, go look at the Interceptor from Mad Max 2 or 3, as you can see the carbs on the turbos sticking out of the bonnet in one of the shots.

Turbo setups on bikes are simpler to rig up as most bikes use throttle bodies, not carbs, therefore they can use the turbo in a blow through configuration, as throttle bodies don't leak fuel like normal carbs would.

true but the old honda cx500 turbo from the 80's used carbs i think

[mikeoxford]

mmm. grill mounted carbs .

your not the only one that thought that :: i immediately thought of the GM touring cars that ran c20xes with the heads on back to front - or whatever they were
