Thread: weber side drafts turbocharged?

Tweet

Any one here ever blow through a set of weber 45dcoe side drafts? i am doing it and looking for some insight into initial jetting and the dreaded emuslion tubes?

thanks for your time

wow thats quite the set up i have 0 experience with webers but looking at the pic i would assume you have some kind of boost pressure sensitive regulaltor to increase fuelpressure. i know its tough to blow through a plain carb because pessured air will feed the wrong way in the jests of the carb. looks good what kind of output are you hoping for???

al, I was thinkin' the same thing about enclosing the carbs completely like this setup....

I know its starting to look like stainless steel spaghetti in there but 2 of those lines coming off the distribution block run to the carbs to equalize the atmospheric pressure inside the carb under boost so it doesnt push the fuel the wrong way.. and yes the aeromotive fpr is boost indexed at 1 to 1 ratio with boost. I can run 10 psi all day long but anything over 15 psi and i have problems, so my fuel system is set up so i cant go over 14 psi even if i want to.

TECH1 = I considered enclosing them inside a box like that but why spend all that money if people cant see the carbs? I have around a grand in the carbs intakes and linkage kits. I think they look killer hanging off the head like that. I just wanted to put something different on the street.

I have a long way to go but my final goal is 400 hp at flywheel and around 325 to the pavement. This turbo is only good for around 280 hp. after its running and i get some dyno time i plan on upgrading to a garret ballistic concepts duall ball bearing turbo capable of 425 hp.
