Bridgeport Carb.......Opinions
#51
Hey thanks for the info, My dad and I were going to put the carb in an air tight plexiglass box so pressure inside and outside of the carb are equal. I guess there are better more efficient ways of doing that!
I'm running a holley 465cfm. could I jet this out and then turbo? Or shouldn't I even bother turboing a stock motor? Any pictures of people doing this?

^^But in a sense, it is. It just needs to be boost prepped. Buy the proper fuel pump and regulator, with a stock turbo and manifold running stock boost levels. You could just ditch the OMP and run your turbo oil lines from there and pre-mix. Of course it sounds really simple, but when you research it, you need to do quite a bit. Depeding on what condition the motor is in

My dad and I keep talking about it because he has a garret turbo off of an 85 daytona or something like that. I asked A pretty intellectual friend named Tim Kingsberry about turboing a carbed engine and he said that the turbo would just push the air out through the float bowls at about 7psi. Are you guys just pushing like 5 pounds of boost or is there some secret? I know you guys said to use a carb hat but from my understanding that won't keep the boost from blowing out the float bowls.

Like I said Tubo'ing a 12a a isnt that simple. Honestly if it were simple you would see more than a handfull of turbo'd 12a. I'm guessing maybe 5% of 1st gen owners if that, have turbo'd cars.....Compared to 65%-75% 2nd gens and almost ALL 3rd gens. Why is that? I'm not saying it cant be done (as I seen a couple locally) just saying its not a simple everyday DIY project.
