carbed and turbo?

[Stef]

Just curious has anyone done this before? Ive tried looking it up but cant find much..

[DRIVEN]

Yup. Keep looking. It's out there.

[NOTES...]

Had it on the ex's Hachiroku... pulled good... so its do-able...

Don't look for "carbed and turbo Datsun", instead look for "turbo Datsun L20B" or whatever engine you want. Most are not turbo+EFI until you get into the stock EFI engines like KA24 or 280Z.

It's too much of a hassle..For a Draw Through set up, You can't run a IC safely, because the fuel would pool up and you'd be driving a bomb...

On the other hand you have a blow through set up, this involves a hat or cover to enclose the carb. This is alot more work (at least in my mind) because of the but cover someone else can easily make one if they are good enough.

Why not just run EFI? Making the Mani would be the hardest part, from there it's mostly sourcing a bunch of parts. Making a engine out of EFI involves lots of trial and error though, especially tuning for Boost.

I typed "carb turbo" in the ratsun search box and got 8 pages. Several on the first page were useful.

Just saying...search is your friend. See how easy that was?

You can do a carburetor and intercooler (IC) together, just do blow through. A stock Hitachi can take 5psi with a simple hat connection.

 

Or for the simplest install, forget the intercooler and turbo a stocker engine, and still make considerable more horsepower than stock.

 

Still, if you have to pay someone to do it you might as well pay for a more complicated setup so it makes the maximum HP. Then you find out you coulda done something else and made even more HP!!!
