2.3 carbed turbo blow thru 2bbl
ryan1:
looking to boost a 78 2.3 carbed motor.
here are list of the plans.
stock 5200 2bbl, with a solid float, or one that will not collapse.
small t25 or t3 turbo.
only 7 psi.
boost ref. the stock mech. fuel pump.
maybe lock timing for not much advance.
build a simple up pipe off the stock manifold, a carb hat and the pluming/piping.
i have build many turbo set-up on fuel injected cars/trucks, ranging from fmu set-ups to megasquirts, small turbos to big turbos,ect,ect but never a carbed one.
i want to do this and do it on a budget, with mostly left over parts from past projects.
my biggest questions are geared towards the fuel set-up and/or modding the carb for blow thru, i have not messed with alot of carbs in the past mostly efi set-ups.
so if anyone has any feedback about doing a blow thru carbed set-up on a 2.3 it would be much appreciated.

Go to www.turboforum s.com and check the carb section.
Also google Hanger18 Fabrications for a carb build.
I have a 306/carb bt/T70 Zephyr.

sounds like a good plan, i am currently building a 2.3 turbo motor from a 79 mustang pace car to put in my 78 bobcat wagon, basically the same set up you are looking to do. good luck

i have done some searching on there also, was hoping someone on here might have ran a similar set-up with
the motorcraft 2bbl, and or built a budget minded turboed 2.3 blow thru carbed car.
i would be even interested in info on draw thru set-ups, just for the sake of learning, but im pretty dead set on the blow thru deal.
any info and or links related to this would be appreciated also.

Never done a blow through 2.3 but have done a blow through Ford inline 250 six, 497hp and 501 foot lbs to the ground....
I would suggest going the draw through route, your asking for trouble boost ref. the stock fuel pump, you'll also need to drill the power valve circuit to allow you to run a small primary main jet, (if you go the blow through way).
Draw through all you do is put that stock carb on jet it and go
