The stock Nikki carb has a perfornance limit of about 140-145hp. You will need it upgraded along the lines of a Yaw to give up to 180hp. Budget say $300.
The stock fuel pump will not provide sufficient flow. A Carter or Holley ful pump, and Holley regulator is the way to go. go to Search to find threads giving views on which is best. Budget say $100.

There is a cool mod that you can do to a holley that involves reversing the spring in the secondaries diaphram to open under boost. That way you can run your secondaries rich to compensate for boost! as long as you do no "get on it" you can just run on you primaries, then when you punch it and when boost is present the secondaries will open and all hell will break loose!! (kinda scary!) It shouldnt be that difficult to do, just take some "creative engineering" Anyone who ever said that turbo charging a carby 12a is not possible is crazy. Its just more of a challenge because it actually takes some creativity and time to make it right. Just my 2 cents

okay so you need a holley carb setup but you also have to change the intake manifold right?
Also where can i get my hands on one of those boost controled regulators?
Thanks,
Jason

Yeah, shutup kid.
Ok, I've got a few questions.
1) How much boost can the 12a safely handle w/intercooler?
2) How hard is it to modify the Nikki to handle a turbo?
3) How much HP will it put out while still being reliable?
4) How much $$$ will it take to do it right?

1. Anywhere from 5psi on up depending on who you talk to and the specific details. (Someone on Mazspeed is throwing significantly more than 5psi into a bone stock 12A...)
2. Not hard. You need to rejet it and either box it or get a bonnet. If you go with a bonnet you need to eliminate the secondary diaphragm and go mechanical.
3. All depends.

Ok, let me change 3 and 4 a little then.
3&4) About how much HP can I get with spending $2000-$4000 on it.
Just another $250 and I'm out of debt with my parents(owed then about $3000 to start with, was spending some $ I didnt have), so I'm doing some research for what I want to do with my car. I plan on either importing a 12aT and adding an intercooler or making my current 12a a turbo w/intercooler, I'm trying to decide which will get me the best HP/$$$ and be the most reliable. My goal is to get about 200-250HP out of it.

Give me $500 and some time and I could whack together a mild SP engine and a junkyard turbo and there ya'd be. I'd do it myself but I don't have $500 kicking around

Buckfutter: Just though I'd let you know there is a guy in the city with a 12AT. I raced him last year, blow off valve killed my ear. Do you work at the parts counter at Canadian Tire? I've been there a million times in the past couple weeks looking for some damn t fittings.
