Hi all. Been lurking a while and have searched but have come up empty on an idea I have. I have read Linc's write ups and will be adding a turbo to my daily driver Fairmont and have a few concerns.
It seems that the only reasonable way to keep the engine alive with the stock carb is to fatten the mixture across the board by drilling jets etc, and this still seems like a lot of trial and error. My setup is as a daily driver that will spend most of its time commuting and will see boost rarely. My thought was to use a fuel injector or nitrous nozzle by the carb to enrich the mixture under boost but to leave the carb stock otherwise to keep mileage and driveability normal. I am doing this on a budget and am all about using junkyard parts and keeping the cost low.
Has anyone done this? I cant seem to find any info on this at all.
Thanks,
Sam
