modifying a holley carb for blowthrough
 

Hey, im going turbo here VERY VERY soon, i was thinking about going weber, but i have been thinking about a holley lateley,
DF can you give me some input on what is needed to make a holley take boost
what holley to start with etc...
im hoping to cut cost with the holley over the weber cause it looks like its gonna cost me a little over a grand for the weber, manifold and carb hat..

I am also doing this 12a turbo setup- I have (2) 600 holley carbs...ONe needs a rebuild the other is working on my car now...

Gregs wanna buy the holley before i rebuild it? That way whatever you need you can just put on it while rebuilding it...

Anyways gregs it looks like you and i are going to be doing the smae mod at the same time...THe only thing i am unsure about is how to modify the s4 manifold.....I am hooking the oil inlet line to where the oil pressure gaudge opening is.......that should work (t-off it) but i really need help on the manifold...are you going FMIC?

ordered my front mount yesterday (volvo)
and my turbo is a t-04 with a bolt on 12a mani ( purchasing as soon as i contact the seller)

Do you have the (3/4) size radiator?...the one with the fmoc? How much was the intercooler and what model volvo is it off? thanks....

is it a japaneese 12a mani or custom? Are you using an rb intake mani? That's waht i am using.. Gotta figure out how to modify the s4 manifold to fit...

Where are you getting your oil from? same as me or do you have a better idea? I am putting the return into the front cover whatabout you?

i have a 79 so im getting the racing beat oil pressure sensor plate that goes under the oil filter thats where my oil feed will come from
and im tapping the front cover for the oil return
and i have a 4 row radiator and my oil cooler is a gsl-se cooler and it mounted in the same location as in a gsl-se

my car is an 81 btw

btw, my oil cooler it definatlet going to need relocation after that intercooler
not sure how im gonna do it yet
but i will figure something out

-greg

edit, the intercooler is a volvo 740
-greg

any word on how to modify the holley? What about the porting i have a streetport will that be enogh to handle it?

Wow,

Volvo 740's sure do use large intercoolers for stock!


Do you think it would mount in front of a A/C Condensor?

A/C????!
