raw gas?

 

suck through has the carby on the intake of the super/turbo charger. so your turbo is compressing air and fuel.

 

i don't really like the idea....but it does work.

Makes two of us that don't really like the idea of a draw-through turbocharging.

The only good thing about this style of turbo setup is the ease of doing it - just move the carby from near the motor to the other side of the turbo. That is between the air filter and turbo. Nothing else needs to be done, unless you feel like playing around with fuel mixtures to try and get it running even better.

 

Downsides are, or can be, major headaches - lag time between giving the motor a boot full and the motor powering up can be painful at times.

Have a google on it.

And do the same with "Blow-through turbocharging"

Bit harder to setup but its a lot better. Not as good as efi but still better.

Ive been looking but still somewhat confused so i build a carb box seal it off turbo before the carb or after? an do i have to use some sort of fuel enrichment with draw through? thanks,

Air to water intercooler.

Bit more complex to setup but i think the benefits of the setup, on a road/street car, outweigh that of an air to air intercooler setup.

ok so does that supercharged setup w/o the intercooler work the same with a turbo carb on the inlet intake on the outlet an do i have to use fuel enrichment of some sort of am i good with just a 2 barrel carby

Another thing that has me puzzled is how do you start it when its turned off because the carb is so far from the manifold? an does this setup work the same with a turbo carb on the inlet?

an i can run an air intercooler on on this draw through setup

I didn't even see the carby and its location till now.

Having an intercooler like that can be done, but it should not be done.

Basically winding the motor over till it kicks. Shouldn't take that long cause of the pools of fuel that'll be left behind after the motor is turned off.

Think of the amount of fuel and its vapour that'll be sitting in the intercooler just waiting for a nice little backfire or something, it'll be like a bomb.
