Wow!!! Thanks for sharing Jerry.

I know that was an old video but still very impressive. 105mph is an awesome effort!!!

I'm looking forward to turning up the boost with my new injection setup.

cheers
Isaac

Thanks Henry,

The 36er turbo hasn't found a permanent home yet. It's proving to be a good strong motor as is, so maybe after the injection it will find a nice daily driver to live in.

I'm planning on building a second 36 next year to go racing with. Smile

The turbo 36er has been a project of mine over the last 12months. I originally built it with a microtech fuel injection setup but with some minor issues I decided to build a blow through carb setup. I also upgraded to a bigger turbo and better manifold design.


Hello Isaac,

this is so nice Applause . What where the issues with the microtech fuel injection?

Where do you would say are the advantages of the carb use?

Thanks,
Wolfgang
