Spencer Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Add a new head gasket and head studs to your build up aswell. Carb setup will work but I still dont think you have enough control (well not enough for my liking) on a highish comp ratio. I'd want to use a wide band O2 sensor when the carbs being tuned. plumbing is just the same as any turbo setup really except things get gay for you because its non cross flow, go have a look at some 4k turbo carb setups and add a few cylinders on in your imagination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismo.capri Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 T2 doesn't really have enough puff for an inty (Or much more than about 10psi lol) True but he's going to be running 2 of them with 9.1:1 CR on a 2.5L. Personally, I'd prefer to use a larger unit running low pressure at good low temps, instead of having a little t2 whistling away puffing hot air into your engine... That's what will cause detonation + kill your motah Why will they be blowing hot air? They are designed to be effiecent at 8-10psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismo.capri Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 all ill say is ask leon. him = the man on carb turbos.you would probably need a single carb too dont think twins would work... Lotus would disagree that twin carbs and turbos don't work, they did a decent job on the Esprit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismo.capri Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 what carbs? Run some SU's then all you'll need to do is plumb a turbo in, ftw. yeah I wouldn't call an SU a carb either Here's my version of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismo.capri Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 currently running two two-barrel zenith 35/40 INATthe holes are the size of holleys on top. Should be fine with a few mods. You need to find out what the float(s) is made of. If you are lucky it will be plastic as the metal ones can colapse under boost if you are running a blow through setup.

Mike-e Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Plastic... and is blow through better than sucking? yep, because with suck through you cant run a intercooler because its kills fuel atomisation, whereas your fine with a blow through because carb is after the cooler just blow through is a little cuntier to setup. I used to have a diahatsu charade with a VL pump with a malpassi FPR keeping fuel bowl pressurised, it also ran a seperate external injector with a thin copper line running into the carb that opened at a set pressure value, worked well. edit dont forget to vent sump and re route pcv/breather also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclejake Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 The carbs you have on the M114 are a dog - terrible things and almost impossible to get parts for. FTW I would be crafting some side draft Webers on a custom manifold. Also make a vernier cam drive as the camshafts on those motors are quite advanced in their timing. A cam from a carbed 280 has more lift I believe........... and they are well cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
