SE-R4LIFE Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Well I started the blow thru carb setup this morning. I got my carb last night and did the mods to convert it to except boost, I pulled the intake manifold and sent it to my machinist to get it hogged out. I should have it back tomorrow. I need to sit down and draw up some plans for a BETTER intake design? Well anyways I'll keep you guys posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
860QuestTuner Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Awsome, Can't wait to hear what you come up with. Are you doing this to get rid of the injection and comuter gremlins or just trying something different and making it better? I have also seen this done on a GTO here in town with a big block,1000cfm carb and centrifical supergarger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SE-R4LIFE Posted April 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 The ECU will still handle the ignition and spark duties, just not fuel anymore. As you are sure with these cars fuel delivery is an issue. I don't want to spend the money on an MPI setup. I know carbs can do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heefner Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 What are you doing about the extra fuel pressure that you won't need with the carb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SE-R4LIFE Posted April 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 What are you doing about the extra fuel pressure that you won't need with the carb?I have an aftermarket regulater that is boost ref 1:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpedTSI Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 I think Heefner means you will need to dump your stock HP HV pump for a low pressure (6-8lbs) HV pump for those carbs................my brother has a twin mikuni setup that he will be bolting in his in the near future....

Siance Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 With the carb blow through set up you shouldn't have to put a big carb on there 600 or 650 should be more than enuff!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted_One Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 The ECU will still handle the ignition and spark duties, just not fuel anymore. As you are sure with these cars fuel delivery is an issue. I don't want to spend the money on an MPI setup. I know carbs can do the job. The ECU doesn't handle ignition at all. The ignitor does. And all that will do, at best, is pull timing if it detects knock. Interesting approach, using a carb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMonkeyProject Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 There was a guy a long time ago who carb'd a starion, i wish i could remember his name. i believe it was on the OLD ryddler board, if i remember correctly he used a Carted AFB. Just don't try draw through,haha, I've seen a guy try to do a draw through, intercooled datsun 510. I didn't know Spearco made bombs until then.

michigidi Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Oops, I didn't realize the thread was that old :roll:. Since I've decided to work on the Starion (left my Corolla w/3tc on the side 8), I thought well why not share my experience with someone else. I know how it is because I ask a lot of questions about my 3tc setup w/the guys from toyota3tc.com. Why not share it with you guys. I'll let you guys know how the project evolves w/the addition of parts, etc. Take care and Merry Christmas!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind_Drifter Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Is your car susposed to be red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigidi Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I guess it was red originally. I bought the car for $500 and running. The car was painted white on the outside and painted black in the engine bay to cover up the red. I'm going to paint the car red like it was before. I know its ugly!!! Here's a side view pic of the car. http://i8.tinypic.com/6nu9a9x.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83stariontravis Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 single blue spark plug wire ftw.. lol 83s are the best man! Sikk rimz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigidi Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hahahaha!!!! Yhea. I was so excited to get the car running that I desperately took a spark plug wire from my corolla. I'll be getting a nice complete set of blue ngk wires this week. 1G mitsu blowoff valve is next along with a front mount intercooler. Crank up the boost and we're ready to roll or blow!!!
