Jdeac Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Hi all. Can I run a low comp turbo motor without all the turbo parts etc. Motor was a recent purchase. I would like to run it to check its all good. If I Put some carbs on it should it start up and run OK. Quote
Jdeac Posted October 30, 2021 Author Posted October 30, 2021 Anything I would need to do. Other than plum and wire up as standard?? Quote
Jdeac Posted October 30, 2021 Author Posted October 30, 2021 Just thought as it was being built for efi. I would need to change the pickup and wheel wouldn't i Quote
Gixer1460 Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Nope nothing - I mapped my EFI equipped turbo engine (9:1 CR) by just disconnecting the boost pipe from turbo to plenum - even breathing for a big engine through a 2" dia hole and having a turbine in the way of the exhaust, it made 180+ rwhp. If running a 'loose' engine on a stand, sometimes an exhaust can help in retaining some hearing LOL! Edit : just saw the above pic - yes that would have to go, if I have a stock one, i'll buy that one off you and send you mine? Edited October 30, 2021 by Gixer1460 Quote
Jdeac Posted October 30, 2021 Author Posted October 30, 2021 I want to run on carbs. As the efi setup is incomplete Quote
