Hey there guys well i have a turbo for my 12a. Its a Arkay set up and i cannot find any information on this thing. I have every thing for it including a Holley carburetor. I just need to know what i need to do to the carburetor before i put it on. Where to put my oil lines and what the one fitting is for on the manifold/ bov. Another thing i need to source is a gasket between the turbo flange and the manifold. Im a gas engine turbo noob, if you cant tell already.

 

That is an incredibly rare setup. I've only ever seen one in real life and it used a draw through Weber.

Best head over to the 1st gen forum and search for "arkay" to see if you can dig up some info.

 

All I can seem to find is pictures. I guess the only thing I need to know is how to hook up the oil line. Il find gaskets somewhere. im soon going to a fmoc.

 

Probably just best to fab up your own oil feed line. Tap oil from the oil pressure sender hole, it's 1/8" BSPT.

 

Ok thanks. Drain tube I can probaly convert over a dipstick tube from a powerstroke or something. (can get it for free)

 

Probabaly easier going efi, good luck though

 

Efi pfftttt I like telling the guys with the v8's my carbs smaller than theirs when I beat them.

 

welcome, we are going to need some pics of your engine bay and the turbo kit. your going to want a oil filter block that goes under your oil filter( to attach the oil feed line to) and tap your front cover for the oil drain. is the turbo water cooled? if so splicing into the heater line is the easey way to do that.

 

Front cover seems like a much better spot. Ill get pictures in the morning.

 

Which is all well and good, but with EFI you will have a car that starts hot and cold, gets good mileage around town (closed loop), can be tuned precisely to the fuel needs of the engine, has full timing control without silly things like locked distributors, etc. etc.

 

For now im going to use the holley I have cause it was free. Maybe on another build ill make a 12a efi/ turboed and street ported. I do have the stuff to do it.
