Motorcraft 2150 blowthrough?

[67mustangat16]

Just wondering if a motorcraft 2150 carb could be easily made for blow through just like the weber 32/36. I believe that lincs said they already have nitrophyl float. Any opinions?

Its a two stage btw. I got a bunch of carbs from my neighbors garage around 15 or so after he died so I was thinking hey why not?

..is it mechanical secondaries on 2150?, vacuum NG with blothru afaik

No secondaries. A 2150 is a non-progressive 2V carb.

Ok I've determined that its actually a motorcraft 5200 which is the same as a holley 5200, so i believe that it will be the same as a weber 32/36.

 

[Fordman75]

Then it's not a 2150!

If it's progressive then it's most likely a 5200.

Here's a 2150:



Here's a 5200:

Thanks Fordman. The 5200 motorcraft is the same as a holley right?

 

[Fordman75]

Yes it's a Holley/Weber carb.

 

[67mustangat16]

so the hangar 18 fabrication process will work on this?

 

[Fordman75]

The hangar 18 site is for the Holley 2300. That's a totally different carb then the 5200.

ohhh ok. Thanks then.

Yeah, the Motorcraft 5200 or 2150 will love a nice turbo.

The advantage is that a return line carb can be boost referenced, and you'll not have to modify it at all except put good gaskets into it.

The Holley Weber branded Motorcraft 5200 series has a return line, also found on the 38DGAS used on the 2.8 Colonge engines.

You just need to follow the Essex 60 degree Broadspeed, via a sealed box

or the Cologne 60 degree Zakspeed/Janspeed turbo set ups.

A fuel regulator on the return line can ensure the carb is under differential boost. Does10's describes how to boost reference the ppower valve.

Have a go...

In the words of others

If you are planning to use the Weber 32/62, in a blow through application,, you will need to use a pressure regulator with boost compensation on it for sure, fuel must stay 3.5 PSI ahead of boost. Fuel pump MUST have good volume also, as do supply lines. You will need to run a return line to the tank, with a restriction in it. Start now to track down a NITROFIL float for the Weber! It came on the 5200 series carb used on Pinto's, Capris, etc, licenced to Ford. This will not collapse under boost.

I modded my stock vacuum advance to be boost retarded, and, re worked the advance curve.

Methanol injection as a supplemental charge cooling is good, as is a good size oil cooler and better radiator. My system is self pressurizing, using a Hobbs switch for triggering it.

IF>>>you are going to do a blow through, you will need a box built for the carb to be sealed into. If you are going to do a suck through, that has it's own set of parameters to be delt with.

Stay small with your turbo choice, as you will have a much more drivable and resposive car overall.

Plan for a wastegate and compressor blow off valve also. You should be able to find a nice blow off at the wreckers, off a Talon, they are more than adequate for our needs.

And lastly, the 5200 is a 32/36 Weber, and see this kit

So nitrophyl floats return line carb hat and jetting? Is there anything else? Also y do you remove the choke?

No , choke stays where it is and is set up standard practice untill warmed up.
