well if you make a pressure box around the carb you could run as much as you basically want, but its the pistons and connecting rods that are gonna be the bottleneck.

pressure box is a box built around the car, that equilizes the pressure around the carb so that the throttle shaft wont leak out pressure and that the float chamber get the same pressure.
If you dont pressurize the carbs, it wont work, fuel will just back out and leak out from the float chamber.


I'd say 5psi can be done, I'd keep the limit at 8 or 9psi with the stock parts.

is the 4af the same as the 4afe? If so, you could pick up the turbo manifold from www.jgstools.com/turbo,,,you may also lookinto the book, Maximum Boost by Corky Bell...good reading

If a turbo is oil and water cooled would it be ok to just oil cool it and leave the water cool part out, or i must attach the water line and oil line.

Question
Is it true that the compression ratio for the 4AF is 8.0:1

Do you think the radiator can with stand heat from the turbo? And 9.5:1 is a good compression to turbocharge or is that to high?

For low boost the 9.5:1 wouldnt be that bad.. but the problem is the smaller connecting rods in the 4A-F, I would swap to lower compression pistons.

No experience, but a 2 row radiator wouldnt make things any worse.
