Kooneon Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 while at work today, i thought about the setup on the devil z in wangan midnight the series. I was wondering what it would take to run this setup being that i would have to fabricate parts. I also pulled an idea of triple turbos. why wouldnt this work? give me all your opinions on this one! Be supportive not full of that bull****! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Triple turbos and triple carbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 You can search for triple carb and turbo, been lots of threads on that one. Triple turbos is a waste of money and weight for the associated plumbing in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 fast z Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Man, I dont think I would want to do a tripple turbo setup. My twin was ALOT of thinking and complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondabait Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I had the same thought last week. It would atleast make a killer show car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskoolZ Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 what about 6 motorcycle turbos? eh eh? one for each cylinder? lol:icon54: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 what about 6 motorcycle turbos? eh eh? one for each cylinder? lol:icon54: How about 12 motorcycle turbos, 2 for each cylinder, each pair plumbed sequentially for better response... OOOH -OOOH! ...then you could convert to diesel, and then run all of that into a second stage turbo for higher boost levels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO-Z Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Unless you are going wet turbos, blowthrough cannot go over around 12 psi from my research. Over that and you will crush the float bowls. High boost equals EFI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Unless you are going wet turbos, blowthrough cannot go over around 12 psi from my research. Over that and you will crush the float bowls. High boost equals EFI. That only applies to Webers and other carbs with hollow Brass Floats. Mikuni, OER, SK, and Dellorto Sidedrafts all have composition floats, and have absolutely no issues with boost pressures above 2 bar (30psi). Webers with hollow brass floats usually start collapsing anywhere between 7 and 10+ psi. Seeing a car dyno 444Kw to the rear wheels on Mikuini Blowthroughs in 1986, I wonder if it was only the language barrier that held up development on this side of the pond...

Globerunner513 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 i was actually researching a couple days ago about this same thing...there's a pretty lengthy thread about the blowthrough setup for wangan midnight. Also has the old school live action videos....i'll try and find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaSmurf Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 turbo charging carbs is a hard thing to do lol they have to be tuned by God and you've heard of nitrious right? Well you'll need to do a wet injection of holy water instead to keep it running right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matadem Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Unless you are going wet turbos, blowthrough cannot go over around 12 psi from my research. Over that and you will crush the float bowls. High boost equals EFI. you can go with a 4bbl also replace those brass floats with nitrophyl floats you can go up to 20 psi or even more here is some good reading http://www.studebakerdriversclub.com/documents/ChickenHawkArticle.pdf there is a lot of info on turbomustangs.com on blowthru setups take a look at this 20+ psi 10.95et http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/2/web/686000-686999/686815_13_full.jpg if possible on these there is no reason it can't be done on a l28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
