Hi Guys,

Check this out........a turbo kit for the 230 Dodge flathead. Now we're talking!

Yes, I saw this on ePay as well. I may be wrong, but I don't think the stock 230 is going to be saying "yea, I am turbo ready, lets go for it..."

All that nice aluminum and rusty carb linkage?

Not to mention how the trans and Xfer case would feel with more power! But I'm a bit confused as to how it works......the inlet and outlet of the pressure (cold) side of the turbo are both plumbed to the underside of the carb. That means the turbo is pressurizing both air and fuel and I don't see what prevents that pressurized mixture from being blown up thru the carb? Normally the turbo inlet is just ambient air and the outlet is plumbed to the inlet of the carb. There has to be a plate inside the tube below the carb to seperate what goes to the turbo from what goes to the engine. Weird.

Sure is an interesting configuration to say the least.

Maybe there is a kanutin valve in there That's a Rochester 2g carb on it maybe it reverse pressurizes 1 barrel ( pressurizing the float bowl to assist in the fuel delivery from the other barrel ) and draws downward back to the engine through the other barrel . It would be interesting to see how it really does work.

yuck! suck through non inter cooled and what looks like a small integrated WG.

the flatty turbo setup i want to build would be inter cooled blow through with a big WG a BOV maybe some methanol injection to keep her cool and propane to keep away the pings for less cost than 94 or av gas

That plumbing is confusing.

All good comments above. Looks like a Rube Goldberg set up to me.
Some might be interested in buying this rig if we could actually see it
installed and running. Without that.... caviet emptor, let the buyer beware.
I assume the duct tape is an added bonus.
