the pic is a home made setup. the ebay link is to a mass manufactured setup that's already been imported from the US.

leave the turbos for sixes, superchargers for eights :rant:

why? a 5.7L V8 350 chev with twin turbo makes about 500kw pretty easily.

also, you might wanna part your vast worldly knowledge on forced induction theories to AMG, because they just announced the new AMG SLK will be powered by a 5.5L twin turbo V8.

ghetto forced induction is where it's at

bring on

- turbochargers at the rear diff

- external wastegate welded onto the turbocharger housing

- single turbocharger on v6 with psycho exhaust manifold

- blank plate on the turbocharger CHRA assembly to remove the compressor N/A style

nope you can have turbocharged carby

its called either

suck through

or blow through

either turbocharger in front of the carby

or after the carby

its pretty complicated and a big mess

and you cant run an intercooler (mixed oxygen and mixed fuel = bomb inside an intercooler core)

ive looked at it before with a friend who had an old torana and got a to4 kit for it

I know, I built my own blow through carby system on a 4AC engine about 4 years ago.

we're talking huge amounts of boost though, which will usually end up forcing the fuel backwards on max boost, starving the engine and sending everything to shit.... so most guys switch to EFI to avoid that.

suck through is where you can't cool the air, and is prone to splode!

because i love the sound of a supercharger. although, you are right. turbo's are better.

on another note: dont you guys hate it when a customer comes in and expects you to kiss his ass? then gets all pissed, abusive and defensive when you reject their offers

Did you offer to lick, and he got offended?

no, i told him that all second hand items do not come with a warranty

yeah try less to push the complimentary rim job next time, might improve your customer service experience.

i tried it last time, tasted like shit. maybe i should spiderman, oh teach me the ways of the spiderman oh funky one.

You basically just gave him the okay to throw jizz in your face. Nice.

I'm gonna go before this thread gets any gayer. Later peoples :)

ye mate has a turbo setup on his HG pano. from turbo it goes straight into the carby. looked like a pain in the ass to do

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
