Question for those running a turbo 13B
My question to those running a turbo 13B in a first gen:
1) Are you using a GSL-SE 13B 6 port, a TII 4 port, or a 13B N/A with turbo?
2) If you are using a 6 port, do you have the aux port actuators installed, or did you remove them and wire the ports open so they never close?
I asked if anyone tried using 6 port front and rear end plates on a TII engine and half say its impossible, so say its possible but that a given volume of a/f mixture moving through 1 port will go faster than the same given volume traveling through a larger area. They say that a slower traveling a/f mix means you will accelerate slower. I counter that with positive manifold pressure. I plan to use a Camden SC and I figure forced induction will do just that, force all that stuff into the engine relatively quickly. Then some say they did it, or know someone who did it and they don't have a problem. I want to hear from anyone who uses a 6 port. How does it run, and how do your ports work?

I'll take a shot... The 5th and 6th ports are designed to help the breathing of an N/A engine. If a turbo is forcing the air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber under pressure, then the extra ports would provide no benefit.

I'm using a TII 4 port.
Is there some reason why you want to use a 6 port?
If so many people have used 4 ports with so much success, why not go down that route?

You could leave the sleeves and actuators in, and have the actuators work off of boost pressure, and a 3PSI relief valve, so you don't blow the actuator diaphragm.(3PSI Limit)
If you do it this way, the engine will be extremely peppy, and have SERIOUS low end torque, with a small sacrifice at very high RPM HP.
Worth it in my opinion.

Your talking about 6 port engines, all of which are injected. The 5th and 6th ports are to allow more air into the engine, which the injectors will compensate for with more fuel.
I didn't realise your were going for a carbed setup, which I know very little about, sorry.
Traveling the road less trodden is a great idea though, and I wish you luck with your project. Keep us posted.

Yeah, it would be shitloads more complicated to run EFI with a supercharger.
I'm going to go for it. If it runs like a bag of hammers, then I will take off the port actuators and leave the aux ports closed. It may be a while before I can update anyone on how it runs cause I'm in the process of saving $$ for the supercharger.
