Is it possible to use a blow through carburetor on a sidedraft application when in conjunction with a centrifugal supercharger? If yes, which carburetors and any examples of this done? Thank you in advance.
i was pondering the same thing only for turbos. I don't see why you shouldn't be able to fab a box to go around the carbs to maintain the needed pressure. I was thinking about Weber DCOEs.
An old timer around here rigged up a McCulloch supercharger that he pirated from a Kaiser Manhattan on a 235 with triple Carter YH carbs and intake from a '54 Corvette back in the early '60s.
[/IMG]Would the set up look like this We saw this at the Outcasts show in Mitchell SD last sept.I bielieve it's an early latham blower ,I know it was running a brace of carter yh's.
I'm not sure. But that looks a lot like a Roots or Screw type blower with 4 sidedraft carburetors mounted to it and then with air cleaners on top. Regarding the box... I found this link which does give some insight into the matter. But i was thinking of doing it with webers as well. Maybe some sort of manifold would be possible. http://www.superchargersonline.com/product_listing_2M.asp?Cat2=accessories_carbenclosure I'm thinking from the centrifugal blower via a pipe to a by-pass valve and then into a manifold with seperate attachments to each of the weber carburetors. This should if engineered properly create decent airflow right? Without straining the engine to much, on a low boost application that is.
