2l pinto carby.

Mk1pintoesky · 06-06-2010, 02:25 PM

Hey
I was thinking about turbo'ing my pinto, but i cant get hold of a efi manifold, so i was talking to a couple of ppl, and they said i can do a carby system with it, just get the floats and stuff done in my carby and run the turbo air intake to that.
i was wondering if any1 has done this? or seen it done before, and if its worth that or gettin a manifold and putting a 40 something mm weber in and running the turbo into that?
i looked at fuel injection but every1 does a sierra efi, but i cant find one or get hold of one.
any1 that can help be happy 2 listen out 4 ya advice.
James.

Hate to say it, but I put heaps of these cars and motors through the crusher...

Cheers

unsure but ive heard the old 2L transit vans use a injection manifold that would go on the pinto

Speak to a good carby shop and they'll be able to set it up. Maybe a small holley would be easier?

Mk1pintoesky · 06-06-2010, 09:42 PM

are there many transit vans in australia?
cheers for the info guys.

Google the rubo goups fpor full answer but you need to get filled floats or they collapse under boost and if you cant buy a top hat make one from an old fire extinguisher , a simple set up like that will handle all the boost the motor will take

or you could just do it like they did 20 years ago or more, run a holley in front of the turbo so its set up like a suck through. A mate of mine set his up with a side draught webber in front of a TO4 with a cross over pipe to the standard intake manifold. Only thing though you will have to make sure is that you have a carbon seal installed in the back other wise when you back off the throttle after making boost it will force oil into the exhuast housing = heaps of smoke!!
Plus side with a blow through set up is you can run a intercooler.
Ive seen it done on smaller engines, might be ok for the 2L but the centre point injection set up off an EA-EB Falcon. Will only need a computer to run the 2 huge injectors on it. Maybe a Jaycar computer could run it?
