thoughts on a drawthrough setup

[clsatt]

there have been a lot of posts in the last couple weeks on carburated turbo setups. I plan to put one on my 1970 240z. I'll document the process with lots of pictures and I'll write something up at the end to describe all my shortcomings.

 

first, I need to get my car to a point where it can handle a boosted setup. I have no idea where to begin. I only plan on running about 6 or 7 lbs of boost tops and I don't expect big HP. I'm doing this for the experience and the piece of mind that there is something a little different than most Zs out there.

 

couple things I know I need to find out;

first, how do I run a boost guage? what kind of sending unit is required, or what do you reccomend?

second, for those of you who have fabbed an aftermarket turbo setup, what is the best way to run the oil lines?

 

actually, I think that's it. reccomendations are always welcome. please don't tell me to go EFI. thats not an option I'm going to get into.

 

I'm getting new suspension soon so this could be a slow process. as in I won't have two cents to rub together when this is all over. but I'll try to keep you all posted once I start the project.

 

Oh, the starting point will mostlikely be the setup that Spyder Z 15 is selling, you can see some pictures on one of his last posts.

 

wish me luck,

chris
