I saw this. I know it's draw through, but this should be
a one day operation.

Wow, an actual CarTech kit, I've never seen one for sale before. Kinda makes me wish I had the cash, those kits are supposed to be really good. I would like to have an intercooler though, for safeties sake.

 

 

If you're concerned about safety then you DO NOT want an intercooler on a draw-through system.

 

yea kaboom, aluminum shrapnel everywhere



wasn't there a similar if not same setup in forum classifieds latley

 

So who's going to buy it?

 

yeah, I'll second that!

 

ROFL!

 

No money...Damn. That would be cool to have.

draw through is **** IMO

no intercooling, and much harder starting in some appications.

 

That looks awsome if i had the cash right now it would be gone.

 

wow that looks purty....would be good to strap onto a stock motor for some gain in power for some road racing. too small though, very neat setup ill have to say.

 

please someone take my credit cards away from me quick!! M.U.S.T..... res...buy.....resist... buy. buy... nooo! must resist!!!

 

Ill take your credit cards .

I'd rather have a blow through system, or even go EFI if I had the money.

 

I wonder if it would work with my super street yaw carb?(modified nikki)

 

I'd think about buying that but draw through doesn't seem like that great of an idea. Would the kit be very good even with draw through?

nobody bid on it, so I can buy it

 

what would be a fair price for that?

 

$500 or so

 

why is a draw through such a bad thing?

 

well it's $511.01 now so...

 

Maybe I should think before I type eh?


Nah, that'd take too much time.

 

You can't run an intercooler because fuel can condense and puddle up inside the core. This means you have to use some other form of charge cooling like water injection... or run some naaawz. The other thing is, you need a much bigger carby to make the same power as you're not forcing the air through under pressure. This can make it a pig to drive off boost. Someone said something about hard starting which can also be a problem.

They can be made to go hard though. There was a 9sec Mazda 808 here a few years back running a draw-through Weber. I think the carb was modified to something like 55mm.

 

that just makes me sick, i want that so bad, but i know by 2 days when its ended, it will be upto like $700-800 =\ i might as well get that 12at from rotaryshack.
