Check out this thread....

Scroll down...



The guy's form name is "barely street legal rotary12a"



Maybe check with him, to see how he's doing with his setup...
im not a fan of teh set up that guy has, barelystreet legal 12a, i think its a draw through set up. i think blow through set ups are more user friendly. but thats just me. also rotaryshack.com has a few carbed turbo cars.

Yeah I have to admit, I really dont know anything about turbo/carb setups. I was just keeping my eyes peeled for any info that could help out....

Draw through doesnt sound very safe. Pulling the air fuel mixture through the turbo? Sounds like an engine fire waiting to happen.

Yeah there are a lot of downsides to a draw-through like starting, non intercooling and the likes. I am not worried about not being able to setup a blow-through turbo, I am worried that if I go with a half bridge, it will be too hard to tune. That is the only concern I have is the tuning on this kind of port.

I have read almost all the holley books and maximum boost by corky bell already, and I am not scared to set this engine up, I just want to step it up and be a little different. Thanks for the responses guys.

For the last couple of days I have been thinking about this and I think that I just might do it. Whatever it takes to be a little different or to give me an edge. What does everyone else think, do you like your half-bridge? Thanks guys.
