Dude that thing is sweet!
I have allways want to build some cheap turbo set up for a carbed 22r/20r.
Yea some heat shielding to the booster and other stuff, 3in down pipe with some heat wrap. No muffler piped out the side yea!!
Also you might want to build a intake pipe off the turbo about 6in or more getting that filter closer to your grill for some more air. If you can wrap the intake pipe with heat wrap, or build a sheild to keep the heat out of the filter.

What are you running for boost controller?
More pics!

Haha he'll ya I know that Honda civic guy didn't have a grim when I walked by his ass in this thing

Dreidel

idk but one day my friend got all kinds of pissed off when off the light my little truck rebuilt but still stock for the time being kept up with his 350 vortec god i love manual transmissions when i turbo my truck im going to put a new clutch in it i can slip mine now
ps thats originally what brought me to this thread even though i dont have a carbed engine it always interest me when people do it with carbs heard they are very hard to tune

sjyota

I don't have a boost controller just waste gate that has a 8 psi spring

oh ok sweet!

What do you think about trying to find a cheap holly 4barrel 650 carb?
May be easer to tune, the circle track carbs are more for wide out and big cams.

Pics?

To much fuel Im Way to rich as it is and the carb I have is very tunable just gotta know what ur doing I can't seem to get it right all because the intake manifold adapter I mad has a huge vacuum leak the new part will be in next week and my carb hat does not have a seal on it so I'm a little worried that when i seal everything up it will run like 14 psi boost because the guy I got the waste gate from said he was able to hit that but he had a few spring and not sure wich one but so far I've hit 7 to 8 psi

Dreidel

if you splice into the tubing that runs from the compressor housing to the wastegate you can put a mechanical boost controller on it i cant remember what the name of the valve is but basically its a needle valve

sjyota

Ya I know how to make one out of parts from the hardware store it's all over YouTube how to videos

Dreidel

ya i probably shouldve banked on you knowing that since you built this turbo setup

sjyota

Lol I don't even need it I'll post more pics and maybe a video if I can next week I'm on the road for work right now

Dreidel

ok cool looking forward to the video

I will have to admit I am completely clueless on a turbo setup but man that thing looks wicked, did you have to run any extra wiring or anything? I'm very interested in doing this to my 22r engine

sjyota

No wiring for the turbo but I have an electric fuel pump that input in and it's worth it of u like to keep the trucks four banger but if it blows it's getting a 350 small block next

junkyardog05

Do you have anything else done to your engine besides the holly carb and the turbo?

sjyota

Not that I know maybe the guy before me did something but it's got way more balls than my buddy's stock one

junkyardog05

I would like to turbo mine but I wonder I could use my stock carb since I just had it rebuilt like 2 weeks ago.

sjyota

No not enough fuel and it is not designed for boost holly is with a few littles mods but it's a pretty big job my set up has costed over 800 bucks do far

sjyota

My parts just came in I'll post pics later today
