I used to have one of these Martin turbo kits on my 1969 camaro. do you still have yours for sale?

What's to keep the air charge from not blowing up through the carb?

basically it has 2 reed valves under the carb that allow air fuel into the intake like normal when in vacum.

once the turbo starts to produce positive presure the plates/reed valves seal the uper half of the intake form the lower half

Re: martin turbo system

Just got the engine in , and yes the old Martin kit works, as long as you get a mini starter , and mod the flange on the exhaust manifold. Other than that, it fits great, and looks KILLER!!! Haven't posted in awhile, but , engine is in and I can't wait to get everything back in.... Thanks for looking

Knight Rider theme fits well.... I actually like it alot without it.... hard for me to say after all the work, but man, I like the engine look too.....and maybe once everything is in and looking par, it might feel different. I'm still an old hot rodder myself...

Re: martin turbo system

Here's my September updates.... About done with engine, about ready to crank. Got Downpipe for Turbo, Heat and Cooling system re-routed under engine, New Carb, and lots of odds and ends. Will try to do wires, and vacuum stuff, this next month, along with Tranny stuff. Still need a starter, but it will come . Next month should be a wild one for this thing. Later.....
Thanks
Marc
P.S. Cars are looking good guys!!!

Re: martin turbo system

Got Engine about ready to crank. Just have to add fluids and try to let it rip, hopefully everything will go well. Been awhile since it's cranked. Last engine when I bought it was a blown 305, so to see this one running again will be great... Anyway. Here's some pics of the finished work.

Shouldn't be long and I'll have an outside KITT completely done!!!! Can't wait!!!! Hope video works .... Engine Turbo was pretty quite , it's almost like my 301 turbo from my 80 TA. Quite until a load is put on it. It is functioning , can't wait to get on road for sure.... Year is starting nicely. I'll make a better video down the road for sure. These were quik Iphone vids... so anyway, later!!!! Happy New Year too!!! That demon carb and setup is probably the best performing and best overall I've had on an f-body.....
