That was the "carb of choice" on the slant six forums as well, but they said to find the 500cfm model and mod it for blow-thru setup. So far I have the T04 GN turbo with the same wastegate as you (gotta run to the hardware store to find a spring and washers), just got the turbo exhaust elbow, and I'm in the middle of designing a bracket for the turbo so the snail doesn't put all the weight on the j-pipe and cast manifold (which are prone to cracking). If you wanna check out my build as well, you are more than welcome to check it out here http://www.theturboforums.com/thread...ix-3spd-manual And any/all advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated, since both of us are building identical setups and both have pretty much the same goals. I am subscribed to this thread and am eager to see more updates! |
Thanks. I checked your build out and cannot wait to follow the progress.
Yes, I am running a Holley 2300 350 cfm model. If I were to re-do, I would go for the 500 cfm.
Are you running an intercooler? If so, let me know how it turns out. I am thinking of running one.
A random shot of JED, since I re-worked the original hubcaps.
