Turbo + carb

Hi, I have a 740 gle identical to james n, fitted a 940 b230fb, single stromberg cd175 carb and have just fitted a turbo, if your interested james i can come over and show it off, it's not far from just outside of cannock lol, les.

Sounds good Les! Unfortunatly, trying to explain anything to me about engines is like talking to me in double dutch :D I like the idea of a turbo car, but that said, its one more thing to go wrong. Im happy with things as they are for now as the car is 100% reliable, I dont really want to start fiddling around with it. However, If you want to help me out fitting this cruise control kit to my 740, you can do ;) Its just been sat here, because, as usual, you have to work for NASA to understand the instructions!! Id make it worth your while in beers sir ;)

Isnt Jame's car fuel injected?

All i know is theres no ECU :D

Up to stock boost (7psi) and everything is working fine, the only pain is the boost air keeps pushing the damper oil out the top of the carb and has to be refilled every couple of days, i'm thinking a pipe led from the inlet box to the screw on top should work with an O ring under the top, i'll end up with a very slight boost leak from the tiny breather hole but i don't think it will matter much.

so how exactly does it work then?? Did you make a custom air intake for the carb?? - What about the danger of running too lean? - Did you re-jet the carb? Uprated carb gaskets?? What about ignition timing?? Have you lowered the compression ratio??? Thanks. Scott
