In draw through you can run what ever you want. Just need to size it correctly and play with the jets.

The limitation will be what carb you can get cheap and what adapters you can find/bodge together for cheap.

A single side draught weber will work, ditto dellortos or any other side draught type carb.

I think the old Werritt special sigma turbos ran a single 1.5SU. Those kits pop up occasionally for cheap.

I've seen holleys used but it's ugly as the carb is designed to sit flat so you need this 90 degree bend/adapter thing. Plus the holley premium...

I reckon it'd be cheaper trying to find an old analogue microtech fuel only comp (ah the memories) and run the original injectors.

Emanage blue running 2 1000cc injectors? Cheap as chips. :)

This ..

probably wouldnt cost much more than a webber would anyway

This,

wouldnt work, as i'd need a factory ECU to run the Emanage off

Lol yeah Matty, toying with some ideas

Had a quick flick through, but has anyone suggested "boxing" the carby?

For terms of simplicity and dirt cheap cost, you could run a smallish single injector that comes on with boost, rigged up to the distributor for switching/duration to match the engine speed, but obviously will require a high pressure pump and some electronics....

Not room to box the carb, and doing that still never works quite right, because the Carb then has no laminar airflow running through the ventruies, as its basically just stagnant air.

Also doesnt solve the issue of the boost pressure forcing fuel back through the metering blocks and into the bowls.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
