Re: SUPERCHARGER CARB NEEDED....damon?

I have a proform setup for blow thru with the hanger 18 mods. Took several hours to complete, typically a carb shop gets $200 to convert it to blow through. Mine is for sale actually, I need a 850 or 950 carb now for a different combo. You have to drill out the PVCR passages, remove the power valve blowout protector among a bunch of other changes.

oh your original post didn't state that. theturboforums.com is a good site that would have that info.

Re: SUPERCHARGER CARB NEEDED....damon?

how do you like your 3500rpm stall with that blower/700r4 combo? I have a th350 in my velle right now with a 3500 and 3.36 gears and considering 700r4 swap. Pro charged blow through carb was easy to mod myself. runs good/ goes 11's. I considered that blower also during my purchase of the pro charger.

Re: SUPERCHARGER CARB NEEDED....damon?

If the engine pulls good vacuum at idle you don't necessarily have to convert to a boost-referenced power valve. There is no way to boost reference the QJet I use on top of my engine and it works fine.

I did testing on my engine with TWO vacuum gagues. One hooked up above the blower (at the carb) and one below the blower (manifold vacuum/boost). I found that there was a fairly consistent point at which vacuum above the blower equaled boost below the blower. That point was right around 5" of vacuum at the carb. At that point, pretty much regardless of RPM, the manifold would just start to tip into boost.

Since you want to make sure the power vavle is open (enriching the mixture) any time the engine is seeing boost, I installed a power piston spring (QJet equivalent of a Holley power valve) that would open at about 7" of vacuum. That way I knew that the mixture was being enriched any time the manifold was into boost. It's worked well on my mild combo for years now.

This won't work on a combo that pulls very little vacuum at idle/part throttle. The power valve will just be open almost all the time as you drive. But on a mild, streetable combo with a small displacement blower it's a good compromise without going to the effort and expense of boost referencing the power valve.

you shouldn't need a blow thru carb if the carbs on top of the blower it won't see boost only if your runnin centrifugal chargers then you would need a blow thru cause the carb then would be pressurized
