Do a search for AJPS old corolla, he setup a 4ac turbo , has all the infor in there, also there was another thread from a couple of weeks back asking the same questions you can look for

im not after how to set-up a draw thru set-up. just wanna know wats better draw thru or blow thru.

[roadsailing]

draw through

either one is shit so you might as well do the one that is easier!

[Driftspec]

^^Agreed.

Both can be real pains to try and setup and perfect the running of, so do which is easier for you :)

Thats the only advice I can offer.

and use a decent size carb, standard one might struggle up top

No doubts there

Carby + Turbo = Win for some, Fail for most.

i had a daihat 3 banga that lost efi thru a dodgey carb on it leaned out so hard it would stall at 4k revs lol

i will prob go blow thru. cos i can use parts off a mates old gemini turbo set-up. im gonna use an XF carby. that should be big enough yeh?? what turbo can u use with a draw thru set-up cos wont most turbos just start blowing smoke after it sees fuel thru it?

[gumbie]

If you wanna run an intercooler then you have to go blow through.

Both can be a head fuck to set up but of the two draw through is easier

Both need a boost refrenced carby. However draw through is a lot easier to get the jetting right.

I would suggest for a draw through setup to us an old school SU type carby as they have been used for decades for this application with reasonable success.

They are a pain in the arse to tune though especially twins.

would it be any use runnin twin SU's in a draw thru set-up? also what turbo should i use without having it rebuilt with carbon seals?

it might be a bit big but the early tco6 off the sigma turbo i think have cabon seals But if u go with a draw thro setup
u wont have to go carbon seals as no fuel passes throw the turbo.

draw thru means it will see fuel thru it
