Blowthrough turbo?
So I just bought an old HKS plenum for my 280z, and I'm thinking of sourcing together some carbs and running a blowthrough setup.
I've been getting parts together to do an EFI standalone turbo swap, so this might be a fun way to go. The thought of having just 3 wires going into the engine bay sounds pretty nice.
Anyway does anyone have experience with carbed turbo engines? My knowledge base is all EFI so this is all new.

I did a carb'd 302 w/ twin turbos in a mustang coupe a while back. If my memory serve's me correct, you'll need a boost referenced return style fuel pressure regulator, a EFI style fuel pump. Nitrile Solid floats, Enlarged Needled and seats (i think they were the largest you could get), Larger fuel jets (i just bought the entire fuel jet set that they had for a holly carb). mechanical secondaries, no choke, and no blow-out disc.
the turbo forums .com is the about the best place to go for carb'd turbo setups, they have a ton of good info on their.
