turbo 6 bangers post here

Intake is quick mockup, not finished yet. Clifford 3x2bbl intake with stainless 4" plenum. I got recently individual throttle bodies that I'd want to use, I have to make a new plenum for those.

Bottom end has Wisecos, Carrillo H-profiles and head has 1,72"/1,5" valves. Cam will be ~225 at .050 and turbo something Garret GT40 sizing. These two are still at shopping list...

That all sounds like some really good specs. I do have a question about the induction: as hard as it is to get a correct fuel curve in place, on a turbocharged slant six, (or any engine, for that matter,) with the abundance of 4-bbl aftermarket manifolds that will accept a blow-through modifed Holley 4150 double pumper (say, a 650) why are you putting three carburetors on this engine? With 1 4bbl, blow-through modified (available at any number of suppliers,) it would seem far simpler, and with say, 25 pounds of boost, the performance advantages of the triple carb setup might be minimal.

If course, while I REALLY DO admire your "think outside the box" philosophy on running a triple carb setup, with its increased visual appeal (and, who knows, the flow characteristics may well be better than a 4bbl setup) it just seems like a lot of added complication to an already complicated project.

I hope it works out for you; it's certainally imaginative!!!
