Re: freebetonys turbo
<br />
<br />Just to name a few...........<br />But, Most of this work,+ the products they spawned, Happened in the 60s,+ 70s.......<br />
<br />Or, There are the new belt driven blowers that are Very popular with the Hot Boat crowd......<br />There's the Paxton, which is a belt driven turbo kind of thing........<br />And the Wipplecharger, which is a belt driven Roots type of blower......<br />Even though these belt driven blowers are much easier to adapt to an EFI, Carbs are Not out of the game............<br />Who Says you have to "Blow Thru" the Carb..???<br />Tony's kit,+ My project are "Draw Thru" the Carbs........<br /><br />Charlie,<br />For the reasons you state is the Best Arguement For adding that kit to Tony's motor.....<br />His fuel mileage would have gone Up, from the Better Efficency... Working Less, for the Same output....<br /><br />The Kit that Tony was looking at had a water jacketed housing on it...... It appears that they removed the Riser from the Merc manifold,+ bolted on the Turbo.... The Turbo's downpipe becomes the riser,+ the water is dumped in After the turbine.......<br />On the otherside, there's 2 manifolds....<br />1 moves the Carb to the front of the engine,+ connects to the turbo Intake side.........<br />1 bolts to where the carb Used to be,+ connects to the turbo's Output side.........<br />And,<br />The Best Part,<br />The Kit doesn't increase the Size of the doghouse................<br /><br />There's a pretty good picture at the auction.....
Nope...... No Way......<br />But,<br />I've been doing Alot of reading,+ research........<br />I've got a 400SBC Project setting on an enginestand in my garage........<br />It'll be sporting Twin Turbos, Aftercooler,+ 4bbl Carbs...... Shoehorning it into a 14' Glastron Jetflite, along with a Berkley Jetpump...........<br />A Suicidal Jet-Ski, so to speak..........

Banks......<br />Lincolnfelder.......<br />Offenhauser......<br />Edlebrock.......<br />M&W Gear Co. ..............

Due to Many Reasons stated above, You're somewhat limited in Your choices......<br />A Big GMC Roots Blower poking up thru your engine hatch Is 1 option...........
