OK will do. Thanks

Re: Secondary lean tip in?

I'm assuming you are blowing boost pressure through stock carburetors. The carbs have been heavily modified to handle boost and I do have a variable rate fuel pressure regulator that increases pressure as boost increases. I agree modern setup with FI can overcome these issues easily. The car runs g...

Secondary lean tip in?

I know not the standard setup up, but.... I have 140 blow through turbo engine. Finally getting back to logging data. What I am seeing is that when the secondaries open I get a lean spike in the AFR's. I do not feel it but I would like to eliminate it. I did NOT have the accelerator pump cups in my ...

Re: Turbo Tech: 7sec boost run(s) compared - draw through & blow through

Interesting that the draw through F is building higher boost while the RPM is increasing at a slower rate. Different gear ratios maybe? Is the blow through running 4 carbs? And what carb is the draw through running? Ken Ken, I believe that I have a intake boost leak after 7 psi and that is what is ...

I was thinking about it. It might look a bit more like the Spyder outlet. Ill have to see how I have to route it on final fitment.

Lots of knowledgeable people here. I would have been up the creek on some things if it wasn't for the forums when I got my first corvair 18 years ago.

Re: Turbo Tech: 7sec boost run(s) compared - draw through & blow through

I wonder if the compressor housing on the E is a machined F. Kevin, I am not sure, I will have the car finally out of storage next weekend and take a closer look. I know that it is not the same as the stock housing and can not find a pic right now. Also, I will be installing my roller fan belt guid...

Re: Turbo Tech: 7sec boost run(s) compared - draw through & blow through

Bit of a Geek. :rolling: Love how you can analyze the data. I stare at it and see those 3d images like from the 90's of rabbits and such. :sad5: BTW, for those reading, mine is the other engine. I do have to solve crossover to carb seal. It might involve reengineering the crossover, OH BOY! ::-):
