turbo?

Anything you put in a Model A coupe with more than about 60 horsepower already has enough power to turn a corner into an instant 720 degree turn into the fire hydrant... certainly any 327, with no need for a turbo. If you survived your first year with a driver's license, you doubtless have already learned to control throttle around a corner, and you shouldn't have much trouble in learning the new parameters of this rig. It simply needs a smaller percentage of throttle opening to kill you than an ordinary car, and your brain a foot will quickly learn the drill.

 

Great thread. Does anyone have pics of a traditional looking small block & turbo setup?

 

Old thread.....turbo search day.

Original patent date 1885....forced induction internal combustion engine......Gottleib Daimler. WWI and WWII aircraft.....1920's automobile somewhat...1938 trucks (swiss)......hot rodders somewhat....never light enough impellers until recently.......oiling/bearing issues until recently......ignition tech and intercooler tech to run properly until recently.......not very HAMB friendly as a complete and functionally perfect package.....maybe.




.......old Martin setup^^^.....sbc.....and rajay turbo.....1960's

Ak Miller stuff





Ak Miller sbc two barrel setup.....one side......also shown in same Ak Miller 60's catalog......BBF draw thru....SBC complete, Ford complete, and carb dual meet turbo induction plate.....interesting plumbing routes for sure.
