My Mazda is multiport injected . I am trying to think this thruogh….wouldnt the increased efficiency translate into less throttle input required for the same excelleration translating into better mpg ? There has to e a reason all the modern cars have smaller turbo/supercharged engines ...

Agreed…. I am thinking 5 psi at most . If I was looking to hotrod it I would stuff a V6 in and turbo it .

my thinking is that during low rpm operation most engines are not getting optimal cylinder filling and that is where a supercharger is going to help efficiency. Of course if you are driving aggressively you will consume more fuel .

I bought a 95 Taco 4x4 std cap with a 2.7 new . Great truck ! In fact my favorite out of all the trucks I have owned . Had a 99 X-cab TRD as well with V6 but liked how the 95 was balanced and that 2.7 was just a sweet engine .

2.6 … the last real Mazda truck

A little bit of boost during part throttle driving should see better mpg due to the increase in cylinder pressure. I am redoing a 93 Mazda B2600i 4x4 right now to use as a daily driver and am considering either an Eaton M60 or a small turbo for better mpg and more HP than the 129 it came with...

What town are you in ? Emmett ?

I am ussually a mopar motor in a mopar car guy but this is a cool build .

Which is why rear mounted turbos would be better in this application ....besides the space issue

What about exhaust temps. How does one keep those in check ? These old MHs have issues with ex temps already. I wonder if Turbo are designed to lower exhaust temps ?

I have watched that one but 1 pull on a dyno isn't the same as a 5 mile pull over a mtn pass . Your input on the build was pretty much what I envisioned. Somewhere in th high 500s for torque is all I am looking for. Elaborate on your comment about not messing around with an oil return.

That was my initial concern about running a turbo in a constant load gas application. But I thought maybe if I kept the boost low....

I have seen that. No echnical info though. I was thinking 2 small turbos would be less than 1 big one. And easier to package by mounting them directly to the connectors vs a Y-pipe into 1 large turbo which will move it further towards the back of the vehicle. Which also means I have to extend...

I planned on a blow thru. Never considered a draw thru.... Seems like a long ways to keep fuel atomized . I am not concerned about lag in this application. Min fact a bit of lag will help things survive a bit longer. How big of turbos will I need ? Can I use the fuel pressure port to feed them...

So I have a 78 Dodge C-Class motor home with a 440 that I would like to modify for better performance at some point. At first I thought stroker but now I am entertaining turbo with low boost . And since there is so much room under the chassis behind the engine I figure going with 2 small turbos...

Not impressed at first . But now I am . I want to know how it changes the driving characteristics. More agile , lighter feeling ...etc Inline sixes make smooth tractable power even without turbos. Lets see a vid of it on the road !

What about a mild turbo 440 build for towing ? Is that viable ?

That Black Wrinkle looks even better in real life doesnt it ?

That is it !

The name of the Powder coat is Midnight black wrinkle from Sherwin Williams . He didnt know the code off hand. Mike says you want the part hot when you apply the powder. Just ask you powded coater if he is familiar with the process. Or you can send it to Mike... He owns Hubcap Annie which...

I just saw your post.... never got an alert ?? I am waiting for the code.

My buddy powder coated the air cleaners for my 68 cuda and 69 Dart with a black wrinkle that came out awesome ! Looks exactly like original but more definition in the wrinkle . That would look amazing on that blower ! I can get the code if you like.

maybe you should get a blow thru carb then up the boost. That would be one wild ride !

try squirting a bit of starter fluid or gas in then put the lid back on and try starting it. it might be the accelerator pump shrinking or expanding from the heat. I dont know blow thru carbs well enough to say for sure.

drop a diesel in it..lol
