13BTOY sent me some pics of his engine setup, he couldn't get the pics to load so I posted them for him.

The motor is kind of a hybrid...hes using 12A irons with GSL-SE rotors and housings.

It's looking real good so far Ed! Now get it running

Hopefully Ed can tell everyone more about the carb setup.

 

Ed, are those my GSL-SE parts? hopefully you were able to put them to good use.
looks real smart!!

 

Does the turbo just blow right into the carb?

 

well not right into the carb .. it looks like he had to create some sort of containment for the presureised air .... ife seen a simalar set up done to a truck ... it works rather well about as well as a turbod cab set up can work that is ... but it does look rather nice

 

Right now Ed has the Piping running right into the Carb "Hat". The Carb was prepped for boost by Rotaryshack I believe. He's planning one installing a front mount as soon as the motor is broken in.

BTW, the motor was street ported and built by me using Atkins seals.

 

ahhhhhh

I was going to say , is he spraying water or meth in there? his intake temps might a little hot sans intercooler.......

 

Nice and clean.

 

Remember how much heat is absorbed when the fuel vaporizes. You can actually get by quite well without an intercooler in a blow-through configuration, though it does cause other problems (particularly with fuel pressure and tuning).

 

Blow through carb setups are really neat.....they seem to work fairly well and are realitivly simple.
When I worked for CP Racing waaaay back, Chris had a half-bridged 12A with a blow through carb, it worked really well!

 

Joe, thanks for posting the pics for me! For some reason I can never get them to upload. Anyways the carb was boost prepped by Robert at Rotaryshack. Right now its non intercooled as you can see. This was motor is still is its tuning phase like Joe mentioned but once its broken in it will be intercooled by either a front mount or water injection along with a T4. I'm actually leaning towards the water injection to keep its simplicity and sleeper look. A front mount usually gives that away and yes Leigh these are you parts from the GSL-SE keg. RPM(Joe) streetported and built the motor.

Thanks, Ed

 

intercoolers are for pu$$ys. thanks to physics when the air pressure drops corssing the chokes and the fuel atomizes it drops air temps in the neighborhood of 50*F. In the winter I get ice on my intake manifold.

 

It was that car that convinced Chris once and for all to ditch the carbs! Pat then ran the same setup without the bridgeport for a while but it didn't take long before that car was converted to EFI...

 

Thats what I'm talking about, Blow through turbos!

Thanks, Ed

 

Man that just looks funny looking. I guess because every car that I have seen that is turbo'd has an intercooler. Nice setup though.

 

Go on Rotaryshacks website and you will see non ic cars running around Cali. Thanks for the compliment!

Ed

 

Extremely nice looking set up.

 

Very nice. Let us know how it runs and what kinda intake temps you get when you can boost.

BTW, how did you get around the problem of no coolant o-ring grooves in the irons? or do the GSL-SE rotor housings still have them?

I just wish someone would HB a 12A and turbo it here in ottawa.

 

The Se water orings are on the housings unlike the 86 and up motors.

Thanks,Ed

 

Hey guys can anyone of a Weber distributor in the GTA? I need some jets.

Thanks, Ed
