Blow through turbo?
G'day.
I've only had a theoretical exposure to forced induction, so I have questions to ask about blow through forced induction.
I've been toying with teh idea of doing a blow through turbo setup on my van, especially since getting the weber progressive manifold and carb
setup.
It seems like the D(F/G)(A/E)V carbs can be used for blow through induction with few mods.
For the distributor it's easier to use an advance/retard dissy or a mech advance only unit right?
Does the vac line for the brake booster need a belt driven vacuum pump?
I saw an alternator with combined vac pump on ebay. Guess that could be used if I could get a belt to it (Type4 motor. No belt related cooling
worries)
How is fuel pressure regulated? I guess it'd have to be ran at a few PSI above manifold pressure. how does that work?
I think that's it; Just something I'm playing with in my head.

blow thros are a pig to jet and tune for a first timer and for no real benefit
budget ignition u cant beat a limited 009 - not locked!
and fuel u will need a boost sensitive regulator, return line and a pump that puts out more PSI than the boost u plan on running

Interesting.
I can do what I like in the playground of my mind.
Thought it'd be more complicated, and it's not as if I'd need lightning response times in a camper. Just an idea I have been toying with to help it
out in the upper rev/speed range more than anything else.

Is an IHI4 too small for a 2 litre on normal road use?

All good. Thanks for that.
yeah I can't see a benefit of blowthrough for my possible application anyway. Not like I need wicked fast response etc. I just want something to
help it out a little on the hills, and flat really.
My setup already has enough torque that it can be hard to get it moving without spinning the wheels, but it needs a bit more topend power.
edit: talk !=torque. Did I have a stroke or something?

You wont need a pump as you are talking about, you place a one way valve in the vacuum line to the booster. So when under boost, the boost pressure
wont get to the brake booster and the brake booster is still holding vacuum for that next brake application. And if you are back on applying the
brake, you should be off the accelerator so there is vacuum again to the booster. Hope that makes sense.

I thought the thread was long dead. Thanks for the great one way valve explanation. Thats absolutely brilliant.
