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

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
