You've never seen a blow through carb setup? That's what a "pretty" one looks like, but based on seller comments - I bet that thing runs like crap. Only 450hp from twins? Each turbo puts out 7psi so it totals at 14psi? ROFL

love it, using a tunnel ram to balance the output of the turbos after the carbs.... wonder what you'd call that, not draw through, not blow through.... lolDoing it all wrong since 1966Comment

disciplined build.
I bet it is a clean burner.
hearing it run might help the sale.
7psi is emission related boost.Previously boxer3main

most times you balance the turbos before they get to the fuel metering system...Originally posted by BBR View Post
the down side (and this is just one) - what happens when one turbo isn't producing identical boost to the other?Doing it all wrong since 1966Comment

Looks like plenty of heat going straight into the intake, the carb hats alone have distibution issues. But hey parking and racing his lawn chair its fine.2007 SBN/A Drag Week Winner & First only SBN/A Car in the 9's Till 2012

I've never seen a blow through setup with dual carbs and each carb being fed by a turbo, just something I've never seen before.......I can only imagine the tuning problems......He also says it can be turned up, at what PSI should you be running blow-off's?? And like Jeff said lots of heat.......But I guess it is pretty to look at.......Originally posted by dieselgeek View PostComment

How much anything does a 1700 lbs car need.
I remember 2 guys with a Nasty Blown BBC at Indy in the same hotel parking lot for years and the thing had a four speed. Nothing but asses and elbows on every corner with it. Lots of fun but those cats where nutz2007 SBN/A Drag Week Winner & First only SBN/A Car in the 9's Till 2012

A 'busa motor and 14 pounds of boost would be a handful.. but then it wouldn't weigh 1700 any more either. Maybe 1400?Originally posted by JeffMcKC View Post
If you never really get into it, is distribution really a problem? Nothing carb'd and designed for 5000+ rpm seems to like the air speed at idle.
It's pretty (the engine), and it could be corrected for not a lot of work?Last edited by Beagle; April 27, 2012, 01:32 PM.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.Comment

Nice iron heads too.
Probly pretty stock internally.
But I'm sure it'll make a 10-year-old go "WOW" at a car show, and isn't that worth something?Yes, I'm a CarJunkie... How many times would YOU rebuild the same engine before getting a crate motor?

I'd still like to try something like it.
8psi = 20 Hg in the other direction.
one is ice, one is toasty warm.
subarus played with that for 9 years.
the carbs no boost ended up winning...for 16 more and counting.
still a nice build, it is definitely for show and tell.Previously boxer3main

at my high school that is how we set up the turbo big block we ran on our dyno mule. only reason we did it that way was it was all we had didn't have a carb hat for 2 carbs so we improvised
the engine was weak though it was a stock '78 RV 454 rated at 120hp stock wih the twins and 12psi it made 450RWHP stock cam and stock heads. we had fuel balancing issues though and leaned out and killed a piston
we redid it after replacing the pistons with a single carb with a dual inlet carb hat and the engine made the same power and ran a lot better untill it hung a valve lolLast edited by Mater; April 27, 2012, 10:09 PM.Originally posted by Remy-Z;n1167534

I've been chuckling about the "only" 450 hp comment. While I have some concerns that this car would make 450 once before detonation puts holes in one or more pistons....
this car "only" had 500 hp and is roughly the same weight as the t-bucket
