how much power would a 45 dcoe support on a street ported blowthrough with an s5

 

hmmm, there's a few other factors i would think. my guess would be 280rwhp?

 

45 might be a little insufficient, why won't you just go w/ a 55 DCOE??

 

isnt 55 overkill, i was gonna use a 48 but apperently weber is on strike, and all i can find used are 45 dcoes.

 

wouldnt i lose all drivability with a 55

FB II have you dynoed your nikki yet, does yours have the bog when you first hit the gas, cause i might just go to the nikki idea

 

man i just need a downpipe and i'm ready to rock and let everyone know the results. i'm trying to source out a super fuggin cheap or FREE stock downpipe for now just to get me going. i'm broke thanks to my girl

 

any body use a 48 dhla?

 

where can i buy a carb bonnet to put on the carb so i can turbo it b.c i have the stock nikki carb rebuilt should get a new holly carb or just stick with the nikki and where can i get all the parts like a turbo header for my 1st gen b.c i have been wantin to turbo it ever since i got it but i cant find a site or anything that offers a turbo kit for the 12a carb. and how much will the kit cost?

 

I make carb hats for the nikki($100 + shipping), for boost prepping talk to Robert @ www.rotaryshack.com

For the exhaust manifold and turbo, it's easiest to use a TII setup, and grind the manifold until it matches the 12a exhaust gasket.

 

Robert isn't boost prepping Nikkis anymore.
But we are.

 

How much was that new custom setup on the last picture?? coldy?

 

The Weber setup on my cardomain page? $500 for the carb, and I made the manifold for $20 in material and a lot of hours in labor. If I ever decide to make those manifolds to sell they'd cost quite a bit, probably $300-$500.

 

where did you get your carb from?

 

There is a couple of auctions on ebay now that have no bidders for dell 48 carbs, one of them is even letting them go for 100 bucks a piece.
edit: If you buy all 6 they're 70 bucks apiece.

 

yeah, but not as many people are doing dellortos, and ive also heard there arent as many places to get parts

 

is any one using a dellorto for a blowthough?

 

OFF TOPIC:


OK, my 85 GSL turbo conversion is in process. MSD fuel pump is in...upgraded the soft lines to F/I rated @ 50 PSI....yes the soft lines between the tank and the hardlines. Mallory regulator is mounted

My question is primarily on the return line. The stock non-GSL-SE return hard line is only 1/4. Do you guys think its necessary to change it to 5/16? Im planning to change mine to prevent a bottle neck but before I do, I wanna hear what others have done to their non-GSL-SE FB.

Thanks.

 

wacky: what carb are you using

 

mikuni 44 for now. but I would like to use a 44 ida or a holley...thats future upgrade.

 

I can check later today on what size return I am running, I know it is the normal return line after the Malpassi regulator.

I am thinking 3/8" for some reason, but will double check later.

 

Can i still use the stock nikki carb when i turbo mine and just boost up the jets to run a little richer? I have never turbo'd a car so idk what all parts i will need to buy b.c im doin what a lot of ppl said is easier in which they go to a salvage yard and buy the 2nd gen set up and shave the header to fit. Do i need to buy a bigger fuel pump to run more p.s.i of fuel or can i run it with the reg. one for a while?

 

You can boost prep a dell just like a weber and parts are not that hard to find if you know where to look, i.e VW buggy shops.

 

When I get off my *** and do mine, I'm going 1/2 inch to and from.

thanks for the info on the return line.
