CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND SOMEONE THAT CAN SET UP MY 45WEBBER FOR MY TURBO. NEED SOMEONE TO RE-WORK IT, DRILL IT WHAT EVER HAS TO BE DONE FOR A 88X94 MOTOR. MOTOR IS IN THE GHIA NOW, RUNS REAL STRONG BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT DOES RUN OUT OF GAS OR LEAN OUT. DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHAT IS ACTUALLY DONE TO THE CARB AND ILL DO IT MYSELF. IM WILLING TO PAY FOR THE INFO RATHER THAN TAKING IT TO SOME ONE. I CURRENTLY HAVE 36 VENTURIES 55F9 IDLE,F-11 EMOTION TUBES, 210 MAIN JETS AND 190 AIRS ANY TAKERS. RAY MEJIA

If its push thru won't you need to machine the butterfly linkage on both sides of the barrels for O-rings to seal and pressurize the fuel system to overcome the boost pressure in the float bowls? I gave up on this idea 'cauz I couldn't find a machine shop in the area willing to try since webs have less meat on them than dells. I even looked at an old Lotus w/ a blow thru dual dell setup and decided a pull thru would be easier, then I just went to FI. I'm lazy in my old age I guess. I have no suggestions for pull thru, sorry. I hope I helped. Terry in TN

RAY, stanski here.... you should consider s.d.s. injection..way easier to tune than carbs,also you can custom tune your ignition map with their setup..boost retard etc. just watch

your oxygen sensor guage and tune that puppy every 500 rpms for fuel trim from righ inside the car. what could be more precice or easier??? no ,,you dont need a laptop to tune

it..carbs are dinosaurs.. fred stanski (n/t) (09-Oct-00 18:08:05)

I would go with vacuum secondary, plug the power valve, and rejet primaries/secondaries accordingly. (n/t) (george brown) (10-Oct-00 10:27:01)

Re: Hold the phone, bad info! NEVER plug the power valve in a turbo carb, it is needed for boost enrichment and must be referenced to the intake manifold. (n/t)

what do you mean when you aer talking about referencing the carb to the intake manifold, still learing, thanks for your time. :) (n/t) (Dean n.) (10-Oct-00 12:09:46)

Re: Means you use boost pressure rather than vacuum to open the P.V. Draw through setups can have substantial vacuum under the carb even under full

load WOT conditions. This is the same reason you shouldn't use a vacuum secondary carb without modifications (or better yet not at all). (n/t)

Why don't both of you . . (Steve Arndt) (10-Oct-00 12:43:36)

Well, "Sick of", only three non-stock turbo installations, and all of them were on liquid cooled engines. And on the two V8's, Holleys without power valves but

correctly jetted worked just fine. Don't know about you, but I'm always interested in learning something new, and I'm not afraid to sign my posts, no matter

how dumb they may be. (n/t) (george brown) (10-Oct-00 12:48:32)

the reason for a power valve is one of economy, not power. If you remove the PV and rejet, it will run the same EXCEPT your mileage plummets. The

PV lets you run lean, until the vacuum drops (boost, in this case) below a set level, then another set of "jets" is then operational. Removing the PV is fine

for race applications (personally, I keep it) (n/t) (John Connolly) (10-Oct-00 16:43:43)

I've been building these cute little things since I was a snot nosed 10 year old in my dad's shop, let me share some of my stupidi, uh,

knowledge with ya. The "power valve" sometimes gets yanked and plugged by guys that don't completely understand what it does and

see it as just another pain in the ass (including me when I was young and dumb, oh wait I still am). It is a really helpful tuning tool so go

ahead and use it to your advantage. I sure dont think I'm smarter than the engineers at Holley, and they aren't going to waste their time

putting something in a carb you don't need. What they didn't know is that they were giving an extra tuning tool to turbo nuts like me haha.

What a power valve does is meter additional fuel to the main wells under conditions of high load when vacuum drops off. When the vac

drops it causes a weaker signal to the booster venturi which adversely affects fuel flow right when you need it the most. You can use it

to your advantage in a turbo setup by actually using boost pressure to "push" the power valve open like the guy said above and blam -

instant boost enrichment. If you don't do it this way and you put in bigger mains to compensate for it, there will either be a time under

light load when it is too rich, or too lean under high boost. You can still make it run o.k., but it will never be really right. Just a little

helpful crap from ol' uncle TG hehe.
