Thanks, honestly this car was my daily driver for over a year. Now its my play car or car show car, which is why i want to keep it old school and not just throw an injected SR or KA in it. I have just recently been getting into the autocross stuff and thought a little extra power would be nice, but ...

Re: TURBO Q & A FORUM

Re: TURBO Q & A FORUM
yeah, just finished. a lot of helpful information. I gues I am still a little confused on the "air box", does everyone contain the carbs inside a box? Is this box totally necessary, or is there other options to achieve the same goal without the box?

Re: TURBO Q & A FORUM
yeah the 250 to 300 hp range might not happen but I honestly don't know what to expect out of it all. This is my first turbo project, so whatever i can get out of it . . . cool. I just want to get it to work and then I can see where to go from there, just want to start with the right parts to make a...

Re: TURBO Q & A FORUM
Thanks, for what I have been reading Im thinking of blow-through design. Fabricating manifolds is not an issue for me I was planning on that all along. Actually was thinking of making a new intake manifold to the carbs closer to the hood to keep them from all the heat of the turbo, not much but enou...

Re: TURBO Q & A FORUM
better : of a more excellent or effective type or quality maybe that will help you
I guess what I should have asked is which is more preferred, which has the most potential for problems, or does it really not matter at all sidedraft or downdraft? Is is just a preference thing?

Re: TURBO Q & A FORUM
I have been running a L18 with a weber dgv, just got my hands on a pair of mikuni sidedrafts and am starting to get the parts together to turbo it. Is anyone running sidedrafts with turbos? Which is better and why?

Just started autocrossing it and so I'm wanting to take it to more of a performance side instead of just a daily driver. Hope to help if I can and get help from people with...
