ArchetypeDatsun Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I searched this forum and could not seem to find info on this search. Is it possible to have a turbo and at the same time have a triple carb set up. I also searched the web trying to find some info on this. Anyone got a suggestion or know about this?

CamH Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yes you can. It will be easier to get a fuel injected L28ET running properly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoov100 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 a blow through setup, works. But it's a pain to tune correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 It's been done, I'm pretty sure tony d knows something about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchetypeDatsun Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Well that takes that idea off my shoulders. It does seem like it would be a real pain to make that happen and to make It work properly I guess if I really dedicate to it I can do it. The good thing is that my L28ET is not in my car, I have yet to replace a lot of old parts but it's a recent rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetterben Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Its easy if you have skills with webers or mikunis or tuning triples. Key here is running right off triples in N/A trim. I have no issues tuning, my triples scream and howl like banshees from 1,500 to 7,000 rpm's BLowthrough its easy if you have the know how. Is it better than efi nope does it sound and look better yup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it better than efi nope does it sound and look better yup I'll have to agree. If you are seriously after turbo power then you will seriously need to tune it. EFI is made for tuning. OTOH old school tripples withe headers are great for sound and looks. It appears that you want to split the difference? If so, then it's going to be a compromise (but a fun one). Best of luck!

ArchetypeDatsun Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 What I'm trying to accomplish here is a well fast and save set up were I don't want to stress my motor out as much with the just a turbo set up. I always wanted to do a rb swap but I kinda got over it and decided to go more original with my car and keep what it got already. Like I said before the l28et I purchased months back, it's out of the car and still have yet to finish up buying parts for it, and that's when that idea popped in my head (turbo & carburator set up). It's kind of like doing a twin charge set up, instant power is what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2eighTZ4me Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I happen to have an SK plenum like the one pictured above with the BOV if you're interested...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboHLS30 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 How much better is an SK plenum than a cartech plenum??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2eighTZ4me Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I have no idea. They all basically serve the same purpose - direct boost through the carbs. I've not done any studies or come across any empirical evidence one way or another that would lend credence to one being better than the other. Supposedly though, the SK unit was created based on CarTech's design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issues tuning, my triples scream and howl like banshees from 1,500 to 7,000 rpm's BLowthrough its easy if you have the know how. Is it better than efi nope does it sound and look better yup Open Triples definitely sound great, but after having run open triples, blow through triples, single throttle EFI turbo'ed and ITBs turbo'ed, I'd have to say that you'd be hard pressed to hear the difference in the blowthough triples setup vs a "standard" turbo EFI setup. Also, setting up the triples for blowthrough operation is not trivial, and not the same as open triples. Getting decent power isn't that hard, but normally simple things like drivability and throttle response can be pretty challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO-Z Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 The HSK plentum has dual sections. The air enters the first section which has the float bowl vents and then goes to the second section to the carb intakes. This gives the required higher pressure in the float bowls. Here is my solution to the problem. Adding a tube from the turbo/supercharger outlet to the float bowls and use the pressure drop trough the intercooler for the delta P. Here is a picture of my box and vent tubing for the floats. Do a search for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
