Guest Anonymous Posted August 30, 2000 Share Posted August 30, 2000 I just scanned in some pictures from a MTZC show at Hippodrome in Nashville a coupla months ago. Below is a picture of the engine in the primer grey 240 with gumby on the hood. It's a turbo tom kit. ------------------ Morgan morgan@z31.com http://carfiche.com http://z31.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted August 30, 2000 Share Posted August 30, 2000 Yikes, not the best engineered turbo setup I've seen! That intake air must be pretty fricken hot by the time it gets to the combustion chamber... I guess thats why nissan didn't design it that way! ------------------ Drax240z 1973 240z - L28TURBO transplant on the way! http://members.xoom.com/r_lewis/datsun.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 30, 2000 Share Posted August 30, 2000 I think it looks quite good except for the gimpy intake manifold! And it apparently performs quite well... But that 4 barrel has got to go! ------------------ Morgan morgan@z31.com http://carfiche.com http://z31.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted August 30, 2000 Share Posted August 30, 2000 Totally over-carborated for a draw-through system. Basically the way it looks like its set up its the equivalent of running 1 - 4 barrel per cylinder. Witha single SU and some cold air induction it'd be a bit better I think, but still you are stuck with the problems inherent in a draw-through system. (no IC, poor cold weather performance, etc) ------------------ Drax240z 1973 240z - L28TURBO transplant on the way! http://members.xoom.com/r_lewis/datsun.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drewz Posted August 30, 2000 Share Posted August 30, 2000 I agree! Why don't you just boil some gas and pour it into the engine with an oversized funnel. More gas means more power only to a certain point. Leaner is better but too lean and by by engine. Too much carb unless it is a 390cfm holley. ------------------ Drewz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
