hey man! love the spool of your engine! could you tell me the exact specs of the carb your running? i would like to get rid of the factory carb but cant just put anything on there because of the draw through setup.. thanks
@colonialmotion The carb is a Holley 500 cfm 2 bbl with an adapter plate to fit the stock intake. I have got the adapter and carb from Esslinger. The still sell both. It requires making a small indentation in the valve cover and removing some material from the carb where the butterfly shaft comes out. If you want to put this on a streetable car, go with the progressive version of the 350 cfm carb. The head I am using is ported and has oversized valves and custom turbo cam.
The intake is the original that came with the car. I also removed the divider in the intake between the carb and turbo. Since this video was taken I have put in a stroker kit so it is now a 2.6L which works better with the 500 cfm carb. I run 110 octane race fuel and 8:1 compression with 17psi boost. The stock turbo has put out up to 22 psi but with 4.88 gears and 2450# weight I decided to maintain engine longevity and better autocross manners.
Man, at first, you must be proud of your wounderfoul rare car!!! Then, let me tell ya that your car, I don´t know why, sounds like the Trans Am Merkurs. Very fucking nearly the turbo/engine sounds of those monsters!
