Turbo 4 barrel carb set up

[motoracertx]

I am looking for any info anyone has on a turbo set-up for a 4-barrel carb system. I have only seen one of these on a car a while ago. I am looking to build something along the same lines as that. But just woundered if anyone had any info or anything like that for sale. Thanks

take the hint ! there is a reason you havent seen many of these.

[motoracertx]

well yes I know why I have not seen many, people are affraid of the system. I have run one on a mustang, it was an really reliable system.

Mustang maybe, on a L6 doubtful, or are you considering changing engines, in which case you may be better asking this question on hybribz?

[motoracertx]

no, not changing engines out. Staying with the L6. This Z i am going is a 73 240. I have had several and done them each different. I just saw i believe was a Jacobs system once, it just looked interesting. I have a complete turbo motor and all the goodies from a 1983 to put into the car. Just was looking at different options.

[Zedrally]

hhhh, the only person I know that ran a turbo with a webber kept on melting pistons.

I guess that's why turbo & FI go hand in hand now-a-days.

Good luck with your project.

When you can pick up a complete turbo motor and all the necessities for pretty cheap at a pick and pull.

Just would seem to make better sense.

One thing I would look at on any single carb system for the L series or any inline 6 in the intake runner length. A lot of these manifolds have unequal length runners - IE shorter in the middle and longer on the ends. This will lean out the 1 and 6 and make 3 and 4 run rich. Not a good solution for a boosted engine. I personally would stay away from that type of arrangement, it lacks the neccessary tuning to compensate for the design. I do seem to remember a turbo tom? setup that was similar to what you are asking about.

IMO The factory turbo setup in much better designed and easily availiable.
