Arrow Blow-through with a 60-1

I am contemplating a blow through setup for reasons of simplicity and cost. However, my big power needs are still there so would a 60-1 work with a blow-through Weber setup? Which carb? DCOE? It will be a street car. I will be tuning with an LM1 so hopefully I can work out any bugs. Any suggestions?, fuel pump?, FPR?...............

Keep in mind that not just any carb will work. Not even natrually aspirated carbs from rotaries will work unless mods are performed to them. I don't recall whom, but theres some company on the net that deals with a LOT of carbed turbo rotaries. Do a search, I'm sure thay can help you out.
ALSO, if you do a draw threw rather then a blow threw, your turbo will need a carbon seal as opposed to the more common dynamic seal if you want the turbo to last any amount off time.

I'm planning on running a blowthrough setup with a 48mm Dellorto and the 60-1 that I just bought from dvls-7. I need to send the carb out to have it modified. I've heard really good things about blowthrough setups on 7's. Are you going to run an intercooler?

Yes, I will be using a FMIC of a good size...

Anyone tell me if a DCOE or IDA would be better for a blow/through with a 60-1 and of what size??? 45,48,50mm??????

Since it is a street car I imagined a DCOE would be best. And I havn't got a chance to talk to Robert yet....

Also, check out rotaryshack.....Good prices on Webers and they turbo prep.

correct me if im wrong but i was under the influence you couldnt run a intercooler because the fuel could pool in the bottom it. risking a explosion?

As far as I know thats only true with a draw-thru setup, where fuel would actually be passing through the intercooler. With a blowthru setup the plumbing is basically the same as with an EFI setup.

POKINATCHA is correct. There really is no reason not to use an intercooler on a blowthrough or EFI. It decreases intake charge temps; thus, making more power, and improving engine life.....I have a friend that found a Starion FMIC in great shape for $100 on ebay and the piping and mounts will be fairly easy to fabricate.
