Re: carbuator

never seen it done on a SyTy, but did see a vortech supercharger on a carbed motor once... they put the whole carb inside a box on the intake to keep it from leaking under boost... pretty silly, if you ask me. Some people love their carbs though :dunno: :screwy:

twin turbo v8 carbed syclone..

carbs are great.. they throw air and gas into a motor just like EFI..
they aren't ass efficient.. and due to pressure issue of boosted applications, they need to be put into a "box" so that there is no difference in pressure at any point of the carb..

don't get me wrong, i love carbs.. hell im a muscle car guy.. but sy/tys are efi.. i don't see the benefit of going carbed on a turbo v6..

This is no longer true, it has gone quicker with EFI. With a Carb you better have one that is setup for boost and you find someone who knows how to tune a carb under pressure.

Re: carbuator

Acarb will make more power then EFI in a race only application at wide open it attomizes fuel better but the difference is minimal.

Re: carbuator

how hard is it to tune a carbuator for a turbo? i know holley has one for superchargers and so does demon. the only reason i'm asking is i'm building a motor for my mazda truck and was think of using one. but i have the syty intake manifold just trying to figure out which way to go
