hey ive changed my mind and think im goin with a turbo setup on my 1400 as i have a cordia turbo sitting in my room not being used ......and i have a few interesting questions

1. what carby should i use ...can i inlarge jets on stock and use it....or do i need to buy another.....

2. when it comes on boost fuel will be getting pushed through my boost gauage....what the hell do i do??????
also while on this what the hell do i do wif vac advance on my dizzy....cause it will be copping fuel in it aswell which is like a mini bomb.....i was just thinkin about puttin a one way valve on it???that would work i think......

anyways let me know

are there any other little tips i need to know

i can answer all thre questions i think....
best carbies for draw through, as it has been done so many times is su type carbies ( of which i have two in my garage if you would like to buy them )
about the boost gauge, just get an electronic sender unit for it and the fuel is not a problem.
and thirdly if your worried about fuel going in vac advance, just gte rid of it and have a electronic dizzy made up, jeff taylor does em for 135 bucks i think. i scored the other day when i found a stock electronic dizzy off a import a15 in a box of parts ive got off a few engines ive bought. only cost me 140 to get regraphed and im laughin. hope ive answered a few questions.

so whats the deal with this electronic dizzy whats the advantages....
but lets say i wanted to keep stock....... im sure a one way valve would work fine

as for the other replys what do u meen about an electronic sender for boost gauge.....like an avcr apexi unit???

ok how much for one su????

ps thanx heaps for replys

One way valve hey? Nup wont work. Might aswell leave the vacuum hose off. If you put the oneway valve the dizzy will get vacuum once and then the timing will stay in that position.
For years cars have had the vacuum advance run off the carby and after the carbie, so I dont think a little fuel vapour is a problem and the vacuum advance couldnt hold enough fuel to make much off a bang.
Electronic dizzy's still have vac advance.

oh sorry my bad.....i forgot that they ran off vac from before throttle plate.....sorry sorry my bad i was think they get vac after fuel is mixed....sorry
my bad

you'll need to have the turbo rebuilt with a carbon front core seal (unless the cordia turbos came with one factory).

because the throttle is BEFORE the turbo now, the engine vacuum will pull oil out of the core when you're off throttle.

you will have to find out what turbo you have as they are all different in size! the ab/ac has a tco5 it is the middle size exhaust wheel might be the bigest you wont to go as the tco6 has a huge exhaust wheel it may not suite the size of your engine! the smallest is a tdo5 early aa cordia and this one has no water cooling! hope this helps, and you do have to change the front seal

the turbo i have is a tco6 but i ripped the #### out of it today and found that is rooted.....so i also have a really good condition charde turbo which will suit the engine better but the seal stillmite cause a prob..............but i have another question what about a deisel turbo ....will that have the correct seal because of the way they are set up.....

how hard is it to get a carbon front seal....i suppose i could fit it....

fat14's u may be able to answer this sorry if its slightly off topic, but im wondering if theres any way to tell if a turbo is stuffed without stripping it???? my turbo doesnt have any shaft play, is this the only way to tell if its any good or not ??? ......

double post...
