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

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.

LOL

V8 titty is awesome

you get the lumpy roar and the spool

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

deff v8 titty FTW

[paulr33]

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

[bozodos]

haha yeah i think it's starting to dawn on the V8 crowd that more efficient power gains are made from turboing vs s/c.

those ebay kits seem to be awfully cheap...

[funkymonkey]

pretty sure you have to convert it to an EFI engine too when introducing forced induction.

[paulr33]

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!

[paulr33]

yeah i can see why you would switch to EFI when doing it, but it isn't mandatory

certainly a good idea, but non-efi still works

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

[Do-Luck]

Did you offer to lick, and he got offended?

[funkymonkey]

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

[jezza boii]

You guys bring the lolz.

[dezz]

Ol' rimjob doesn't post much these days..

[dezz]

Goin for a run, moderate to fair chance of death.

May be back later

[Mohsen]

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

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

[jezza boii]

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

[**JaR**]

well, been a long time since i've been in here...
