your not the only one that thought that :mmm. grill mounted carbs.

I agree it could be done by conventional turbo-charging method (Blow through) quite easily. You would simply have to use an Irmscher 1300 Sport air box as a plenum-chamber on twin 40's or 45's.
Mount a turbo on the exhaust manifold put the charge through an intercooler and pipe it directly to the Irmscher air box :D
If only someone had a full sport carb set up for sale :wink:
im in the process of sending an imrscher airbox away to the chromers....
i can hold onto it for time being if you want to turbo it for me 8)
I'd like to see a turbo'd carb nova too. perhaps just an sr with the dmtt I mentioned earlier. Its really got me thinking. cut rubber gaskets using the old ones as templates, then just pull a turbo of a td car down the scrappy and weld it to mainfold etc. nice sunday afternoon bodge job. then a quick piddle around with some jets and a gas analyser
hmmm. the old 1.0 pushrod nova that did so well in the field last year against my old fiesta might have an upgrade this year :
No prob with the rad, just move the bottom of it as far forward as possible, I put an RS Turbo engine in to an XR2 8-9 years and had to move the rad forward and cut clearance in to the X-member for the down-pipe.
Where there's a will there is a Way :!:
Russ,
Nice idea except for as soon as the turbo made boost (I think it's about 4 psi) the fuel gets forced out of the butterfly spindles and a few other places. To use 40's in a blow through configuration you need to get them taken apart and machined to take some extra seals to stop them doing it. You also need to install modulator rings and shit like that, but by the time your up to that you really need to start reading books on the subject.

:o now theres an idea for my 1ltr ! Turbo it

why no! a bit of pipe work and it would soon be out of the way. bonnet maybe?

HHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!
I see your point, I for one would have to lower the compression to say 7.2-1 and bang at least 25psi in to it. I have a reputation to uphold :twisted:
Why not just stick some NOS in it instead of lowering the comp. ratio?
