No worries! i think im just going to go back to blow through on a vf11 until i can source all the right parts

I live up in stanwood but if you guys expect a good turnout ill head down! Im planning on going to the tacoma meet this month on the 18th

Yeah, its a bit of a drive but im thinking ill drive down!

Figured i mine as well give you guys an update... Motor is running on dual su's N/a with a stock manifold (couldnt get my header back in) FOR NOW!!! i have not given up just yet! My turbo i was using broke, and wasnt really suited for suck through, just a sliiiggghhhttttt overlook on my part, so im going to find a smaller turbo with a carbon seal Also will be finding a bit bigger carb off of a z Hopefully i can gather up some parts and get it running again boosted, I got used to the boost and man it feels slow now! Thanks for all the help!

Anyone have an idea of how many people might show up?

Docbainey: I messaged you

Pictures look good

There cromodora 14x6 (if your talkikng about my car)

Pressurizing the the carb wouldnt change anything on a suck through application, on my blow through however i did have to pressurize the float bowls. If that turbo was used in a suck through application i would imagine the seal is right, in later pictures i clocked the turbo and shortened the intake. Im going to disconect my turbo when i get back and make an adapter for a single SU so i can ensure that the problem does not lie within the motor but the turbo and carb set up.

Any shaft play? and can the housing be clocked to work better with my existing up pipe? im trying to look at the pics and figure out the carb intake works? does the triangle bolt to the compresor housing using only 3 of the bolt holes and the rectangle to the carb? What would you want for the parts that you have???

Sweet, let me know what you come up with!

Would you be interested in selling what you have?? A few questions if you are, was the set up for suck through? (ray came to the conclusion that my td04 needs a carbon seal) How long ago was it rebuilt? did it work with a stock l16 intake? im not to worried about the manifold, i could fab something up pretty easy.

Hey guys, i got in touch with ray, he gave me a lot to think about! Unfortunately i leave for colorado in the morning so ill have to put this off until next week! Thanks for all the help and ideas!

i guess i need to go back to square one with the timing and start all over... As for the vaccum advance my theory was it will help at idle and under boost it will go away? But ill ditch it for the time being. Ill let you guys know what i come up with when i tear it down and re set my timing

I live up in stanwood, but if your expecting a good turn out ill head down!

Oh and another question, from what i understand since its boosted and turbos dont like back pressure, my down pipe that goes to my floor not being connected to my axle back (yet, ive been more interested in getting it running), shouldnt be a problem? Also lastnight when i was running it (single carb still) there was frost on my adapter to the turbo and the new charge pipe and intake box, literally white frost, from what you guys have said if anyting this is good becasue its staying cool, but is that frost also on the inside? which would turn to water and go into my motor?

I read through all the posts of that first setup, man he put a lot of time and work into it! Looks like it turned out sweet though, my 510s sorta my daily, and for whatever reason i decided to boost it... werid right? i like the idea of running a pipe in front of the radiator, i thought about just putting a filter up there to but im worried about water and the filter getting super dirty. Now an air conditioner, theres an idea! I got it running... and it will i guess you could say run... but it sputters along and wont rev up and pops and back fires... so im back to my timing that ive checked a million times! Going to pull the valve cover and see if its 180 out and i happened to put the wires on wrong, not likely but we'll see. Ill post pics but i rigged up dual carbs becasue i started to worry about it meybe being lean and not working, i also temporaily put in an electric fuel pump, being a senior in highschool leaves me with so much time on my hands!

So heres what i came up with, let me know what you think. My charge pipe is about 10 times shorter and i managed to shave 3 to 3 1/2 inches off my carb to turbo adapter. Thanks again for the help i really appreciate it Ive read through Jason Greys article, i think im almost there! haha

i just re-clocked the turbo and am finishing up the new intake pipe. yes a fattened the carb up significantly, and it just so happens i have an a/f gauge in the mail!!! I am still going to try and shorten the intake at the carb into turbo as well. I should get it running in a couple hours. ill let you guys know what happens!

I dont think that fuel "pressure" is a problem either, it was on my blow through and i had to pressurize the bowls, but in this setup i think your right. im going to have to shorten that pipe somehow... I did run the engine for a bit before slapping all this stuff on. didnt drive it just did a little break in to make sure everytthing was running right in the shop

Thanks for that link, i have another float bowl, i may give that a shot

I was boosting 10 pounds with the l20 at about... well whenever i punched it so 2000rpm all the way up, The fuel pump is off the l20, stock mechanical
