Yeah, it's too bad the guy that built the barstools let his site go. I can't remember how expensive they really were, but seems like something you should just have.



I always wanted one with a remote control, throw a zombie on it at Halloween or something nutty.

 

I saw this last week and was wondering what it ever would be used on.

Now I know!

The wastegate actuator is almost as big as the whole turbo!

 

i need that for my toyota tercel (aka **** box)

link to where i can buy that please?

 

I get that there are projects you can use these little turbos on, but what kind of hardware are they actually manufactured for?


Maybe a gas/turbo powered Rascal would be a good project.

 

that's beautiful. the exhaust is amazing bahahahhaa......

 

This is where I got the picture from. Tops out at 60 hp so might be a little small even for a Tercel.

yeah....your right.

my **** box's lack of power pisses me off! the 4 speed gear box sucks too. haha

 

Around my area all the homeless guys run on motorized bikes. I asked this guy Bundy how he did it. He was like a chainsaw and gatorade bottles. Pretty soon all the kids had them. I'll boooost one of them.

 

its been awhile since I even worked on this, but I took a break from the norm and dug this out of the garage. Got to work on it, fully weld up the manifold today, drilled out a little bigger diameter bore in the carburator main jet, and got it temporarly running "okay" for the most part. I first put a spring to keep the internal wastegate closed, but added too much pressure to the carb that it kept dying on WOT. The charge pipe is a temp thing too, since its just a small household vacuum tube... lol. I plan on using a coolant hose, eventually. My next plans are as follows:

-weld up an aluminum gas tank, that WILL be pressurized to 2psi...

-modify a small propane tank to hold the compressed air

-use a compressor pressure regulator, to keep 2 psi constant, plumbed from the compressed air tank to the gas tank. This and the previous two, will ensure fuel under boost.

-The next thing is an idea of using a spare power steering pump from a 1.8l miata, and using it as an oil pump to feed the turbo, from a separate oil tank, of which I will also fabricate for fun.



- weld up the rest of the exhaust to make it neat and not halfassed like the retards on youtube.

 

You ******* have way to much free time on your hands!

 

epic

 

videos NOW!

 

I want to see this thing at WOT so bad

 

scrumpy jack, I am jealous. It hasn't touched my lips since january 09. Sucks that no one around here carries it

 

I have this vid, its kinda a teaser, since its a spool test. I took this vid to show that a T2 is small enough to spin at idle on a 10hp engine.
I will try and finish it by the end of this week.


edit: dont mind the long useless **** at the end, I thought I hit the record button again... obviously I didnt.

 

inb4death.

 

update: Apparently, to make it successful, my grandfather (master of boosting carburated V8s) said I would have to do less if I just fabricate a custom mount and intake piping that puts the carb in front of the turbo intake. He also sugested finding a marine or larger carb... discuss and I will take the idea with the most pro's than cons and make it reality!

 

that seems like it makes sense. dont most oldschool V8's put the carbs on top of superchargers?

 

yes

 

I saw this at PRI in 2008 near the karting section
