Thanks alot Towe for all your help so far i have never done a turbo car I'm mechanically inclined just never done a turbo setup i have 1 moer question if u don't mind answering if i was gonna use a turbo instead of supercharger would i set it up the same way i would the supercharger where the turbo sucks from the bottom of the carb?

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.

 

this is exactly why i don't like the idea....

 

if i was going to do it, i woudl make sure that the pipe from my turbo outlet to the engine intake is as short as possible, and there is nothing in the pipe at all (no intercoolers).

 

i guess on a K motor, being non cross flow, you could make a really small J pipe stright form the turbo to the inlet manifold.

 

actually there is a guy on here with an old ke17? a red one i think. i checked out his car one day at lakeside raceway. he has a pretty sweet suck through turbo setup on his K motor, if you look under the bonnet you can't even see the turbo, very stealth.

 

edit: just remembered we are talking about 3t here, so cross flow. but ill leave my k motor jargen there for reference.
