fisch Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Check this maddness out. i know carbed turbos don't excite everyone, but this is freakin kool! I'd love it on the 521! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DATSUN-510-521-620-L-Series-TURBO-SETUP-Roto-Master_W0QQitemZ200251840924QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200251840924&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C65%3A1%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245 Quote Link to comment

DISLEXICDIME Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 bye bye head gasket lol Quote Link to comment
FJDatto Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Wow, that's almost as bastardized as my setup. That started out as a Crown Turbo kit, as seen by the intake manifold feeder, and when the original exhaust manifold gave out (typical), switched to a custom exhaust manifold with a wastegate. Looks like a Weber DGV on the intake. Should be a good unit. A Felpro headgasket should provide long life when used. That's what I'll be using when I finish my project. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 my buddy had almost the same set up with water injection running 12 pounds of boost and 12 to 1 comp 225 at the tire it was fast but it didnot last to long :D Quote Link to comment
Fineline Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 my buddy had almost the same set up with water injection running 12 pounds of boost and 12 to 1 comp 225 at the tire it was fast but it didnot last to long :D 12:1 compression and a carburated turbo. I cant guess why it didnd last?:D Quote Link to comment
SickDrift Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 It appears to a newb like myself that there is a negative view towards carbureted, turboed L engines. Properly designed, with low comp pistons, pressurized carb enclosures, and correctly controlled boost, it should work as fine as any other. Is there something inherently wrong with the L engines design that doesn Quote Link to comment
philip1 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I had a carbed turbo L20 7.5:1 compression, holley 750 vac secondary, 4" down pipe and 25 lb of boost It would go through a gallon of anti-detonant with each 12 second 1/4 mile pass. 500hp at the crank it was fun but terrifying.

]2eDeYe Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Is there something inherently wrong with the L engines design that doesn’t work with turbos? Absolutely not! :D They are light, well balanced and redline at 7000 rpm stock...perfect for a turbo. Just gotta build it correctly. Quote Link to comment

Bleach Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 pl510sss has a profile pic http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1308&sid=9928460a72311db141c85acf04799f18 close to pl521sss, but it can't be him. :) Quote Link to comment

A little bit of investigation and we can smoke this guy out and push him to sell that tubo setup to someone on these forums. I think pl521sss has been showing some interest. Quote Link to comment
pl521sss Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 alright, you guys got me busted pl521sss=pl510sss=pl510_sss I use that ID anywhere Signed up here mainly to get resource for my 521 truck so naturally I used pl521sss. Now I can sell it here for $2500 cause it's rarest of the rare. I'll be using a different ID and promote it. :D this Turbo setup is archaic compared to newer type of turbos. Likely it has turbo lag and won't kick in till 3500rpm (my guess) will see how it works. Quote Link to comment
