Aircooled VW South Africa

hey guys i just want to know if it is posible to do a blow through turbo setup on a downdraught...and is A 38 or 42 downdraught weber to big for a stock 1600 t-port

I would say yes you can but you might have to rework your heads and intakes....

In the old days before EFI Alpine Turbo conversions used to turbo just about anything blown through a 36DRLA H Dellorto carb coz the delorto had seals on the Butterfly shafts

Remember there are boost on the shafts now and also fuel and you do not want the fapour to escape and

Poef op in flames

A small suck through system are much cheaper to build with a ESHU carb

I still owe some one else on the forum a basic scetch of a setup like that
after the weekend I will draw something up and post it for you

ok thanx bugger...the thing is i read that you have get a carbon seal for your turbo cause most turbos have dynamic seal or something like that?the thing is when i do this someday i want to use a garret t2.5 can it work?pls help!?

We not living in the '80s. EFI is the way to go...

Dont ask me the fancy names of the seals but yes you are right you actually need the special Sealed turbo as like the blow through carb set up

When Brian used to do the suck through systems he just used to take the compressor housing off and seal it with sealer and fitted a new kit on the Turbo so you dont loose fuel to the Exhaust housing side

i know but can it be done to any turbo? and the smal system you were talking about...what kind of power do you get out of it?

A stock beetle ran at Tarlton 20 sec and the turbo stocker ran 17 sec that time superboss territory

And it is better to spesk to some of the turbo builders there are so much that has changed form 1994 to now Turbo wise

When I built my Rx a 60'1 compressor wheel was the biggest before I drove my bug the firs time the Guys were putting T72 Turbos on and that is muther ofa turbos

Bugger,can you make me a bolt on setup for my bus?

Something wit a small turbo,just to give it punch.

Thats al im looking for,for now...but what turbo should i use a t2.5...ive read that they like to use the t2.8 turbo...but the t2.5 you can pick up for R1450...

It is duficould to make a bolt on setup here for there

Basicaly a good exhaust shop can do the bends for you then fit the Hair draaier and carb and get a Tuner to tune the carb on the Dyno

The turbo to use for a stock 1600 is the one from the Uno or the Nissan EXA We did a 1.9 WBX with a EXA turbo before and it was way to small but good for the bug

What motor is in your bus? Upright or Type-3 Type-4?
