Love your determination......keep it up. I built turbine engines out of turbos 18 years ago. 143,00 RPM's out of my HT1. 48 pounds of boost. Over 200PSI of fuel pressure. It was a beast. This was on kerosene and 10% gasoline. I have not maintained the website but someone is still hosting it. If the CarsandCamera guys want me to publish it on thier space, I will. I have not touched the site in 18 years. I am so proud of the site. I did all the web development myself.

[@jefferyholcombe5189]

charge pipe is way to long! put the turbo in draw threw setup but put the compressor blowing directly in to the motor. will have to make longer exhaust to turbo but with so long of charge pipe fuel is not staying atomized into cylinder. draw threw does work even though it's hard on the turbo. Pontiac trans am turbo's used this setup with mixed success.

[@Thrive-Off-Grid]

Centrifugal force will separate the gas completely out of the air and stick it to the sides of the tube. Need to put the carb after the turbo the piston squish is what atomizes the air fuel mixture.

[@italkfan]

+Travis Piper as far as i know you can do both, but, for after the turbo you need to pressurize the float bowl so this doesnt happen.... im guessing they didnt do that.

[@liamcooper5202]

@Fabio Spiesanzotti you mean after the turbo.... fuck even Holley make turbo carbs that go post turbo. You just need to pressurise the fuel system higher than the turbo boost pressure. Same shit needs to be done with EFI cars. Thats why there is such a thing as rising fuel pressure regualtors.

[@racrx7]

Carbs and turbos did fine in the days before EFI. Not as efficient as EFI, but functional. The complete carb needs to be enclosed in a sealed box when doing a “blow through” setup.

[@PeachLover91]

So basically you put the carb where turbo intake would normally be and, so the fuel-air mix would be sucked through the turbo and into the chamber? And besides rough start couldnt you set idle at a higher rpm to help the cause of rough idle and startup? any feedback is helpful thanks

[@emmettcarr2988]

thats what i was thinking too

[@BigBoyLies]

the carb prolly need a bigger jet? since more air is coming in, it leans itself under boost? just a thought..

[@Jacob199801]

you could put in a jet that would be suitable for the boost but then it wouldn't idle because there would be to much fuel at idle

[@KacKLaPPeN23]

+Jacob Waters I don't know what carb is used in this particular application, but usually carbs have a few different ways of adjusting the mixture. If you change the main jet you mostly affect 3/4 to wot. 1/4 to 3/4 are mainly influenced by the needle and idle to 1/4 by the idle jet and a screw you can adjust. If you would only swap the main jet it would have basically no effect on idle.

[@andrewfaivor1922]

instead of a blow through system, you should with the carb to before the turbo for a draw through system eliminates most of the modifications need to be done to the carb. also an electric fuel pump and turbo pressure regulator would keep the engine from leaning out

[@gt20modding88]

No if you payed attention to the video he said “we jetted the carb.”

[@ailokemi92]

andrew faivor they are using a suck through system. But thats poor for tuning, i'm curious what mods you mean? Only mod u neen on blow through setup, is to pressurize the bowl on the carb to help pushing fuel up the jet

[@MrSankari100]

You need to put your boost From turbo to every "hole" in your carboretor and add fuel pump and regulator for fuel or put turbos boost in fuel tank. You need to do it so that turbo blows in carboretor!😀

[@MrSankari100]

+CasardCameras

[@comethiburs2326]

+MrSankari100 That wont work. you either need to place the whole carb in a bell connected to the turbo pipe via a vaccum line so it runs at boost pressure and face feeding/tuning issues or loose idling as a whole.

[@steveskouson9620]

+Côme Thiburs You'd also need to pressurize the fuel tank, otherwise boost will blow fuel back up the fuel line. Guys, using a turbo to SUCK through a carb WILL work. Look at a 62 Corvair Spyder. Turboed, and had a carb. From the factory. Using the Blow method, you do need to pressurize the whole system, including the tank. (There are fuel regulators that will compensate for boost, on turbo cars, but that may be out of your range. You'd still need a fuel pump.) EFI, here we come! steve

[@comethiburs2326]

exact steve. forgot the pressure regulator. I dont think EFI will improve the power tho, to this point only running methanol or E85 ethanol will improve the engine output, more 95-98 gas in that thing will only add detonation risks and grenade the valvetrain.

[@Muffin_Masher]

huh? 95-98 "gas" will not add detonation risks..............the higher the octane the LESS flammable and MORE resistant to detonation a fuel is..............not the other way around, boy racers think that putting 98 or 104 in their buzzbox gives it more power, it actually gives it less power UNLESS the engine has higher compression and/or advanced timing to take advantage of the higher octane, at which point the car will not run on lower octane fuel without detonating. If I put 91 in my ute it would be a bad day, because 95 is the minimum it can run on, not that it matters to me because I wouldn't put 91 in my lawnmower let alone a car ;) (in Australia regular unleaded, 91, is garbage filthy shit, premium fuels, 95/98/100, are MUCH cleaner)

Puffalupagus360 you can also tape off your pipe end fill it with water and freeze it the ice will keep it from crushing when you bend it as well

[@dave1135]

biggest problem with that carburetor is its designed to work in a narrow air fuel ratio. as the boost increases, the air imbalances the mixture making it lean. efi compensates for the variable ratio. sadly, small engine carburetors are not designed to operate in a wide power band like a car carburetor.

[@talonford]

Build an enclosure for the carb, use the turbo pressure to pressurize the enclosure and you should be fine. Linkage will be a little tricky though.

[@gregandcourtneybentley906]

Build a box and put carb inside so it pressurises the outside of the carb too, that way it will not push the fuel out the vents, that's the only way a carb will work with a turbo.

[@donaldkumler5149]

what you need is a boost and afr gauge. Get a china 26mm mikuni and keep the draw thru setup. You should be able to properly tune it between 11 to 11.7 afr. If you get it working right you will start to see frost on the inlet pipe and maybe the turbo housing. The atomizing of the fuel works as a intercooler, and it should make good power. I'd also keep the boost under 8 psi.

[@Kryptive]

+Moondyne .Joe Fellow Aussie, I had the exact same idea.

[@timramich]

Carburetors can handle boost just fine. You just need a fuel pump to overcome the charge pressure.

[@63ch31]

And an intercooler so the turbo will actually affect the power.

[@Twisted07]

yup for whatever amount of boost pressure you need that much more fuel pressure going to the carb, or the turbo pressure will just blow the fuel back into the fuel bowl and the fuel tank A blow off value / waste gate also would help a lot, when you spool the turbo then let off all that boost pressure has no where to go, making it hard to go back to idle until the pressure is gone.. it could be opening the butterfly in the carb when this happens.

[@Mr-md3sf]

+ted clubber lang not necessarily boost is boost wreathe its hot or cold, now an inter cooler would definitely make more power but on a small motor like this i would doubt it would be a significant gain with what i would assume is not a lot of boost pressure. inter coolers really get hand around 9 psi. Plus with a suck through carburetor set up like they have now the atomized fuel will cool the intake air/fuel charge a tremendous amount. people out in the salt flats tend to run this style set up because the fuel cools the charge so efficiently that they can drop the inter cooler from the build and make the same and sometimes even more power due to the lower restrictiveness of the intake set up, and it doubles as weight reduction

[@Twisted07]

+john Doe (mr. 250) i 100% agree with you an inter cooler is a must but i also think have control over boost is good, and no matter what she anit going to do much without more fuel pressure lol

I would suggest putting the carb on the intake side of the turbo, not the outlet. Carbs don't like to be blown through. The bowl vent needs to see the same pressure as the mouth of the Venturi, and that's not possible on a blow through set up.

[@luvstruck2733]

Here is something you might try. Mount the turbo where the exhaust is flowing through one side of it, and the other side will bring fresh, compressed air into the carburetor. A bigger jet would help performance. A carburetor can be used with good results, but hey, I would love to see you install fuel injection system on one. I didn't even know they made one. Love the videos.

[@FlowBaka]

You have to incase the whole carb in the charge pipe so it has equal pressure inside and out.

[@zososldier]

draw through turboed carb is fine and is actually the best way to keep your air/fuel mixture correct. blow through like you had it at first will be either super lean at the top end or super fat at the bottom end because most carbs have to reference of pressure only flow. you also cant use blow through because you dont have a fuel pump. the air is just back feeding the fuel lines. you just need a better path between the turbo and the cylinder head and that draw through will work fine. with all of those pie cuts being welded with a mig welder and all the funky angles i bet it has barely any flow until higher rpms. if you had a tight radius bend made with a tubing bender and correct/straight flanges it would idle a lot better. Either way. sweet vids

Wish I could play with you guys. Sure looks like fun. I have not read thru thee comments, but in the olden days the '57 Ford 312 w/ Paxton supercharger Ford put the carb into a box. The entire carb was contained so the pressure was the same all over...except down he venturi. This gives the same conditions that the carb would experience except with a lot heavier atmosphere. Thats the physics as I understand it. It is a handy place to attach awater/alcohol injector for detonation...also keeps the fuel/air mixture down stream from the turbo.

You need a boost referenced carburetor... Easy way to do that: There's an atmosphere hole on the carb that you need to run to the charge pipe, and your fuel input to the carb needs a check valve.

[@steves5877]

When you do a blow through system the carb needs to see the same boost on all ports. That carb probably has an atmospheric reference which is where gas was blowing out. Nice Z btw..

Actually, you guys might be blowing the spark out, try a colder plug?. That thing should have no issue idling with that carb. Thats basically how they turbo old single carb bugs. Do some googling for draw-through carb turbocharging. What you have should work perfectly. Your turbo might also be oversized. Also, I would redo your intake and exhaust tubing, it's super restrictive and has some sharp bends that shouldn't be there. That should all be as open as possible.

[@petermurphy6120]

I like the effort put into this but I have a few things to say. First I have turbocharged an 8hp honda engine with a similar sized turbocharger and had great results. Secondly you don't need an EFI when you turbocharge a gasoline engine we have made numerous carbureted engines that have ran in excess of 25 pounds of boost and that produced 800 hp. Furthermore, I see you used a draw through system where the carburetor is mounted on the front of the turbocharger, I used a blow through system where the carburetor is after the air is compressed. Also, when you turbocharge any engine you need higher fuel pressures so there is no back flow of fuel, so you need to run a boost line from the turbo to the gas tank to increase the pressure because it is gravity fed system. You also need to increase your jet size in the carburetor to make it a little more rich rather than leaning it out. Also i used a belt driven oil pump for the turbocharger and had no issues. This comment is to help out your cause and if you have any more questions I would be more than happy to help. Good luck!

the pipe looks like a rattle snakes rattle

Damn kids don't know how to blow through a carb.

[@XxMassiveGamerxX]

FYI that pipe you are talking about, the one that comes off exhaust side of the turbo, is called the turbo manifold.

[@duncancameron6657]

ha guys,I'm just funning I dig the stuff you two are doing! Please don't stop! Dano.

[@kospap2205]

just buy a 400cc used modern bike engine and install it... it will be wayy more crazy. And safer of course.

"Will it fit on my honda?"

[@jhm772]

Can yall like actually work on a real car

[@ItsChriscampos]

Nope

[@jawnske]

+Jack Mcgaha you must be new here

[@ItsChriscampos]

+kaillick666 you can tell lol

[@Trenticl]

you could try sealing the carb somehow and then go back to the blowthrough setup? if you use a fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator it should work in theory

[@chaley9093]

19:00 the turbo is to large or the turbine to compressor ratio needs to be adjusted which I dont think youll ever be able to to do withis turbo.

[@chris20trspec2012]

so there is not a pressure relief valve on the inlet? recirculation or blow off. the fueling is way off for sure but hell it was a good watch lol

[@markebedwell6646]

Mini alternator,belt driven will get you plenty of juice, efi a must for a mini turbo.

[@DandSCreations]

The turbo explanation is hilarious. Points to Compressor uh this part, points to turbine housing. this thing.

[@damiansimmons7321]

I know I'm 5 years too late and I actually watched this video when it was released, but to answer your question on the terms of the piping, the pipe going from the exhaust on the engine to the turbo is called the hot side piping for the turbo and the intake pipe from the turbo to the engine is called the cold side or charge pipe.

[@kx3408]

Take the pod fliter of and drill holes where you put the blow of value and it will dose hard

[@keithjoiner517]

1980 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo had a 4 barrel electronic port carb. There is something to piggy back!

[@lincolnpower58]

have you looked into a blowthrough style carb!? i dont know if you do it on a small engine like this! just a idea

[@redrhino1911]

Put the ecotrons EFI kit on it. I'm going to do the same, and it would be nice to follow along if I get confused with something.

[@chilledhho123]

carbs are funny with forced air induction.. you must have it on the intake and incased in a box with the fuel pressure 10% above max boost pressure.. you would experience torq incresed with snappy response in throttel,with good driveabilty.

[@racrx7]

SilverFox32775 that’s how it was done in the days before EFI👍🏻

[@jamesbuckley907]

John, i would really like to know what brand of blender you were using to comb yourvhair back in the earlier days.

[@sharonpearson3552]

dudes got a fairlady !! thumbs up great video

[@sammy13ificationable]

you could run a secondary belt, if you can find one small enough, and strap it to a box mounted motorcycle magneto to sove the charging issue

[@mojoman469]

If you build an intake with the carburetor on the inlet side of the compressor housing, the carb will work as a draw through system. Otherwise you'll push fuel out of the needles and jets when the turbo creates boost.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Yep.Going to need a pulley outside the torque convertor to run an alternator.You have an extra from a motorcycle?They make them for lawn tractors?Looks like a Blast to ride !

[@RailManSD]

How about a CR500 2-stroke carb placed after the turbo ? That would likely have a broad enough range of air/fuel ratio to stay lean enough at starting, while providing quite a massive ramp-up in richness to account for the boost
