what carby should i use for my turbo?

[dookie]

hey guys,
im almost finished building my 3k blow-thru turbo setup in my ke30, and just wanted to know what carby u guys would suggest.. and if anyone has something for sale/?
im not lookin for the best of the best or anything as this is just for a bit of fun on a budget, so just need something that would do the job, im only gonna run about 6psi
any info would be great!
cheers guys

a suck thru would be better as there would be no pressure blown into the carbie, if you go suck thru you can use a number of differant carbies i see SU's used alot this way.

[dookie]

yeah true, but in the end i decided on the blow-thru option
thanx anyway mate

Try a 32/36 DGV Weber or a 34 DMT Weber as used on the XE-XF Falcon should work a treat plenty of available parts for them.

thanx mate, yeah i will be able to find a falcon one easy, my dad has a XE but its injected other wise i would pinch its carby lol
are the XD ones the same?

[mrshin]

Single barrel XD carb is a hopeless pile of crap (even more so than most other carbs)

I thought blow through carbs had to be specially designed for the purpose as they are pressurised. I didn't think you could just use any old carby. Thats why the suck through is an easier option.

Could be wrong though.

Pretty sure Weber do a blow through, but good luck trying to track one down for a reasonable price.

suck through sucks!


look for things like a charade turbo, mg montego, i think maybe even nissan exa?
and didnt you guys get things like ford laser turbo that had a carb?
also maybe honda city, mitsi cordia
i dont know which of those you guys got, and i cant recall if they are all blow through, but gives you a start point.

the weber can be gotten to work. a charade carb would probably be ok. so you know about the foam filling the float, and a rise rate fuel pressure reg ? all i ask is thet you find the powervalve,and drill its orifice for the boost enrichment. makes a much better result.

Any carb can be used for a blow through setup.Its just a matter of setting it up.
Another carb option could be a 350 Holley which is a dual throat carb which runs synchronised throttles(both butterflys open at same time).
Cheers Brett.

[Mr Revhead]

keeping in mind this is a 1200cc motor.....

[crowncustom]

Yes agreed that it is a small engine even though I did see one on a stock 18R years ago and it ran heaps better than the standard carb even had great fuel ecconomy but as anything is its always worth a try.
Cheers Brett.

i scored a free XE carbie which ill be gettin soon so ill probly use it for now!

im getting a rising rate fuel pressure reg, but i dont really know anything about carbys, so foam filling the float? drill the powervalve ? ive got no idea what that means, so if anyone could explain this step by step to a beginner like me would be much appreciated!
cheers guys

[dookie]

and pics would also be a huge help

For the drawthrough setup you want a lpg Weber hat and top cover (falcon is your friend) then run that on a 38DCM Weber, that way it will be all boxed in. This is what my mate has done on his dato ute, as for the rest, pfft buggered if I know.
