O wise and venerable forum !
(in b4 "get turbochargers by hugh MacInnes", its on order)
what if a guy took a motor home turbo plenum and stuck a draw thru turbo on his 440?
or even what if he bought the book "Turbochargers", by hugh macinnes, and figured out how to make a plenum?
then what? punch it?
i have read a bunch about it over the last few days, and i think i have everything figured out except the 'not blow off' - when you close the throttle blades there is a huge vacuum; there is a way to displace that but i havent understood it yet. you cant release that to atmosphere as this turbo design is wet - the gas is in the air mix already - we would all die in a fire.
the only other thing i dont have a handle on is boost pressure signal to the carb springs so you dont lean out. theres gotta be a way to make an eddie do it, because carters did it bitd.
lets blow stuff up.
