Hmm... second oil feed fitting has rocked up and it to does not fit 🤦‍♂️ Seems the same size but must be the wrong thread.. turbo is an eBay tdo5. does anyone know if there are more then one different tdo5? Or why they don’t fit? Cheers mr.p

I have already drilled the jet out. But I was under the impression that the secondary jet is 1.7mm? I have another 2 carbys with stock jet if it’s not right

I’ve heard they can handle 6 pretty safe. But 8 and 10 shortened the life of the a fair bit haha ive got mine set to 8 psi but I will give it a go on 10 as well. Didnt seem to build up to much boost free reving but should be alright under load. I didn’t look at the boost gauge when I started it. tuning it is definitely going to be abit of a nightmare that’s for sure

Update : started it up today for 30 seconds and all seems good so far, runs smooth and doesn’t leak any fuel! It does need an new manifold to exhaust gasket tho as leaks abit the moment. Damaged it when I took it off 🤦‍♂️ So will get onto one soon. Also the oil feed fitting does not suit the turbo and is leaking. So I will order the right one tonight. But besides that seems like a success. Won’t know till I get a chance to drive it but so far the carby works well. Will get a video of it running when the new oil fitting gets here 🙂 Also will get better info on how well the carby works. Couldn’t leave it running long enough to have a good suss.

Yea I don’t think the stocko will hold up the best. I’ll get some vids when it starts and post them here. Will be back with more info soon 🙂

Really hoping to get away without boxing the carby if I can. That will be last resort.

That’s a good idea mate! I might do that would work good enough I reckon. I thought about the box idea but it looks like a bit of a hassle. I seen a few videos on YouTube of people running blow thru setups thru the stock carby and it was holding up. But I amagine it won’t like it for to long. I’ll get it started in a couple of days and let use know how it goes. I drilled the secondary jet out. But should probably lock the dizzy before I go driving it. i will take a vid and post it up when it starts

That’s a good question mate haha I have just been sitting the battery on an angle to wind it over lol this is just a project I have been playing around with to pass some time. The car has no rego and is to rusty to repair. But if I get it sweet I’ll probably buy another regoed ke I love them haha

Cheers for the input boys, it didn’t cross my mind at the time when mounting the intercooler. I just placed it there because it was a convenient spot for it at the time haha. A front mount would be ideal but I will probably just try a fan like you say. But I will probably moved it In the future. Ive read that if I lock the dizzy, and set timing to 20-25 degrees I should be pretty safe? As for fuel mixture I’m not to sure on 😕 could mabe tell by the colour of the plugs but I’m not the best when it comes to tuning but if Tas could tell me what size jets to use would probably get me in the ballpark 🙂 it is externally gated, so should be interesting. If I can get it to run half decent anyway haha Cheers.

Hey mate cheers for the reply. I have just completed the setup today should be good to go. I tryed to start it but it’s not getting spark now. Was getting late so I’ll figure it out tomorrow. I have a 1.8mm drill bit I plan to drill the secondary jet with. Is this what you done? Also ive heard that the stock carb dosnt always hold boost but won’t know till I fire it up. Did you modify your carby much? i have a rising rate fuel reg and vl pump to use just haven’t set it up yet. Wastegate set at 8 psi Any info is apreciated 🙂

Has anyone one here successfully run a blow thru setup on a 4K and got the standard carby to work? Can’t find much info in my searches
