Hey Mike, nope no more boost gauges. What size 4 bbl? Anything larger then a 390 will do just fine. Thanks Dave T

Funny thing I thought you actually meant you used a hair dryer to temporally blow through the carbs.

See

Back in my younger and more stupid years we duct taped a leaf blower engine on top of a carb of a dieing V8 engine in a Ford LTD. What fun the engine idled at 2000 rpm ish. It was a blast until the engine threw a rod.

Hey Dave,Thanks for looking ,
AJ That's nuts ;D

If you were parting it out.

Mike if you are worried about a high boost level, remove the spring on the waste gate and put a lighter 1 on. There is a mod you can do to a 4bbl to allows it to stay rich under boost, check the shoptalk forums. A VAC secondary is good for a turbo. Lock the dizzy to about 22~24 deg total. MSD BTM is good if you have 1. Some guys go with the same size intake and exhaust valves. Thanks Dave T

Tarrich,I'll part it out when their's a hole as big as my fist thew the case ;D I just got it this year still play'in withit
Dave,has an adjustable wastegate I've been lurking @ STF and learning I picked up a gage yesterday,Thanks,Madmike

[MadMike]

picked up the orginal carb that was with this combo, called a Predator a variable venture 390-930 cfm ,once I fixed the float it has awesome throttle responce!!! now to fix the float bowl gasket ;D Pic's to come later,Madmike
P.S. It is bolted up to Black Ice for now ;D

[MadMike]

Cant get pic to Post

[MadMike]

I can't get the GRIN off my face ;D ;D ;D
Finally had a little time to play with the turbo motor
The metering valve in the Predator carb stuck and just gave me 'truoblems ' Now that's fixed I took Black Ice for a run down the road,, What a kick in the Pants!! I now know what the whoopa is all about "TURBOS" @ 15lbs of boost!! Yippie-do-da,Now to get the New Wheelie bars welded on ;D ;D ;D

[dunedudex4]

And bigger brakes ;D post some pics of you doing some wheelies across the front lawn Thanks Dave T

[MadMike]

Brakes ?? Brakes are over rated ;D,I don't have much for a front yard Dave and the back yard it's for grazing the horses according to the wife ;D( that's OK by me ,Only mowed it once ;D Darn things won't eat the weeds ) and the Slicks won't even Hookup on sand ;D ;D ;D
