Turbo carburetted 2tg

[Gx71man]

My freind is going to turbocharge a 2tg, He wants to keep it carburetted.
What carb should he use? It will be blow through.
I have herd a SU carb can be used as blow through.
Any idears on the carb he should use?
Also what other things should he watchout for? The vacume advance?
Will his standard brake booster handle the boost? (4psi ish)
its going in a ke70 wag.
Any other stuff i forgot about?

Thanx all.

Yep, the HIF-4 TURBO carb is quite different to the "Normal" HIF Carbs....

You use a "Normal" carb on a blow-through turbo setup, you'll know all about it at about 2Psi boost...... *BANG* as it leans out and burns a piston or worse.....

The Turbo carb has a float-bowl pressure inlet on the face of the carb to assit in the fuel being supplied at a greater pressure than boost (Thanks to a restrictor ring at the mouth of the carb to LOWER pressure on that side....)
there are also seals on the throttle shafts, o'rings everywhere and a special seal on the dash-pot top .....

Choke is on the opposite side and it has no "Flap-valve" on the throttle blade itself ....

so yes, you can, but get the correct one if you go su.

I have a blow thru turbo carbie. It came off a Renault Turbo Fuego.
The setup was turbo, intercooler, carbie.
Factory setup ran 6psi. I have photocopied pages out of the factory manual so you will know how to set the carb up.
$50 including pastage.

i have heard of this been done on 4k before by a guy i know age's ago and all he did was jeted the carb bigger and bigger float i think run 6psi and something about keep the fuel pressure 10psi higher than boost he said

Have u ever seen the turbo kits for the 4.1 Falcons.
they use a pair of SU or CD carbs but they are draw through ie they are before the turbo and use a low boost, around 6 psi.
Very good system with only 2 draw backs.
High fuel consumption and very hard to start cold, they suffer from fuel drop out, ie the petrol dont stay atomised at cranking speeds.
no real cure for the first problem but the fueling problem can be fixed by adding a cold start injector near the intake ports so you can prime the intake.
Good luck.
