Turbomania Book
« on: December 23, 2004, 03:28:36 PM »
Not sure if this is technical or not.

I was looking around on theshoptalkforums.com and read about a book called turbomania.  Does anyone know where I can buy this in Vancouver?

I don't have a vw but maybe in the future.  I have an 86 civic wagon.  It was carburated but I have converted it to fuel injection with vacuum advance for now.  I just bought a t25 turbo and want to try and use it on the stock keihin carb.  The carb was giving me problems and I had the f/i stuff so I just decided to try it out.  Now I have a chance to take the carb apart and inspect it.

I had a weber 32/36 last year but sold it since it would starve under braking since it was meant for a rwd car I assume.  The stock honda carb is made by keihin.  I have taken all the vacuum lines off of it except for the secondary.  I moved the hose for the secondary so it opens at about 2000rpm instead of 5000rpm.  That made a huge difference.  

I need to see if it will be possible to do a blowthrough on the stock carb, and I'm hoping the book will have info on modifiactions to similar carbs.
