Members turbo FB setup
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.

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.

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
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.

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...

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.
