NOS - Turbo 84 Camaro 355 HELP!!

[subwoof17]

hi.. i just purchased an 84 camaro not to long ago. it has a 350. i would like to get more power -- like everyone.. the first thing i plan on doing is installing a nitrous WET system.. i was so glad to hear how easy a wet system is with a carberated engine.. i looked into NOS for my 99 GP GTP..cOmPleX!!.. anyway WHAT IS A SAFE BOST TO RUN?? it believe it is mostly stock .. it has an edelbrock carb and intake manifold. it MaY have a small upgrad to the cams (idels a little rough ) and it got new pistons,it was bored .30 over- 30,000 miles ago, but i dont know exactly how manny miles are on the crank or if anything else was ever upgraded or replaced. the car came from the factory with a 5.0 so my 350 was put in that car. I dont know the year of the engine but it is carb injected so it cant be to new .. i would imaging these older engines can take a bit more that the jap crap engines made of sheet metal they are making today.

NOS is a definant my next step is still on the drawing board.

I would like to turbo charge my 350 (blower is way to expensive for me)...i know i may have a bit of a problem with haveing a turbo blow into the carb unlike a more efficent blower that sucks gas and air out of the carb.. BUT.. here is my plan.. i would like to either use one big T4 turbo or have a dual smaller T3 or T2.5 (25) setup.. I own a mig welder and i am preety good with my hands (and metalwork) so sending exhause threw them and getting them to spool up is no problem.. getting the compressed air to the carb is no problem.. the carb is what presents my problem!!

so i can get compressed air to the carb now i need to put it into the engine.. from my understanding a carb is not made to be pressurised (i have been told all the pressure will leak out of the carb if i put my pressurised tube form the turbo(s) directly on the intake of the carb).. so my idea of the solution is to build a square box out of sheet metal.. cut a hole for my compressed air tube to enter.. then cut a hold about 1 mm bigger than the the size of the carb outlet to the engine.... drill holes for all the mounting bolts,fuel line, throttle linkage, and wires (possably add a small ammount of sealant) and bolt the carb down..connect the compressed air intake and we got a turbo'd camaro.. so far i feel fairly confident of my plan..do you agree?


now this step get a little more scetch for me.. i want to keep my engine so i need to add fuel to my new mixture to keep from leaning it out..

I have worked with carbs from a snowmobile (2 cycle) so i do have a good understanding of how they work but i dont know how diffrent this is.. i know there are three diffrent ways to adjust a carb.. one for the mixture at idel.. one for the mixture at half, and one for the mixture at full.. so for my setup i would want to leave idel alone.. no bost present at idel.. i would want to run a bit richer at half throttle and much richer at full throttle(i believe that is the main jet)..could someone please explain this better and tell me whare i can buy these jets?

Thansk alot

Saying that you want to use a t4 turbo is like saying I drive a Buick. What trim?


Also something to consider. The Gn's prettymuch came with at t4 turbo (40 trim) and that is for a 231 v-6....

here is a list of turbos that I reccomend.

ok, before you do anything power wise, you need to know what you are dealing with, you need to know the engine you are dealing with. contact the guy who built it, find out compression, cam profile, forged or cast parts, all of that. if its a junkyard jewel (not saying it is) you are playing with fire by talking about a dual poweradder setup. i would never run a turbo, or dual turbos, let alone adding nitrous to an engine i didnt know anything about. i highly reccomend against it.

that being said, your carb box idea is sound, vortec sells the same thing for their supercharged carb applications.
