Beginners How to Turbo a VW beetle using stock 34pict or EMPI 34 pict-3 Volkswagen Carburetor

In this video, I quickly explain the basics of blow through turbocharging with a VW 34pict-3 or EMPI carburetor , one of my favorite types of carburetor to turbocharging due to the ability of being very simplistic and easy to work on once set up for boost, may be of interest to1200cc ,1500cc ,1600cc ,1641cc ,1776cc , 1914cc owners

This is a great video much appreciated for your years of wisdom 🤙

The 123ignition USB Distributors work up to 1bar boost and can ne be fully programmed. Many of my Friends and i use them. Best regards from Germany 😉

[@shedtorquenthings633]

I use a MSD programmable with my other builds , plenty of options around to choose from we're spoilt for choice , thanks for taking the time to comment

[@davefalkenberg6228]

Great info building blown 1600 on e85

[@shedtorquenthings633]

Thankyou I'm glad it helped you

Try adding a extension to the fuel bowl vent up into the boost pipe, brings enrichment on a little quicker

[@shedtorquenthings633]

There is another way, increase enrichment by changing your emulsion tube bleed does the same thing

Great vids, these have been such a huge help in my budget boost build. one question, these carbs have a shut off fuel solenoid, Do i still need to have this plugged in and if so would you be able to explain why?
keep up the great vids 👌
Thanks
Rob

[@shedtorquenthings633]

Rob , fuel solenoid prevents run on ,only reason for it to be there , it needs to be plugged in to provide fuel to the idle circuit

[@user-tf2zu1zh8o]

Awesome video. I’m following this for my turbo build using an EMPI. I was wondering about the other extraneous brass vent tubes around the carb body. Should they be plugged as well?

[@shedtorquenthings633]

Hi there , any tube not being used should be plugged to stop boost leaks

[@thibaultratel3330]

Hello from France! Good job! I’m boosting a vw mk2 golf , i have a solex 34pict5 and a gti électronic ignition , it’s possible to pute an assymetric regulator for fuel/air ratio with the solex carb?

[@shedtorquenthings633]

you should be able to get correct AFR's with the emulsion tube

[@frankschwartz7405]

This is great information which I've never seen before, and thank you for it.
I'm thinking about using twin 34-PICTs on a Type III, and adding boost.
Do you think that might help overcome some of the single carb limitations and still remain a budget build?
Thanks.

Glad it was helpful!

[@danielleekirkpatrick8579]

Planning the same but onna 1.7 type 4. Twin carbs. Twin turbo. For a cheap as possible

[@danielleekirkpatrick8579]

Thinking of doing the same to a type4 1.7. Twin carbs twin small turbo 🤔

[@melissabarry9784]

if i was to turbo my 1969 1600cc beetle would draw through or blow through be better and if its draw through would i have to get a bigger carby?

[@shedtorquenthings633]

Depends on what turbo you decide to use, one will require a positive seal (carbon) and the other won't , In most low boost set up's you will get away using the 34pict carby jet up..

[@arminislamovic232]

So i bought a vw 34 pic 3 carb put on my 81 goldwing 1100, and i out turbo on, i set wg to 0psi, but it revs up great untill you try to drive it and starts cutting out, whT coukd be the isse

[@shedtorquenthings633]

Hi there , First thing to invest in is a Fuel A/Fr gauge , without it you won't be able to tune , it will show straight up if you have a lean or rich issue . Boost pressure is a measurement of accumulation , even at "0 " pressure you can still have increased efficiency air through the manifold ......

[@gregoryschwarz2730]

Does this also apply to super chargers?

[@shedtorquenthings633]

I would always run a carby before the supercharger

[@armaanthapar5655]

Hi, I have a naturally aspirated 2.0 ltr 2010 VW beetle... Is it safe and worth it too turbo it?

[@shedtorquenthings633]

You can Turbo any motor , safety depends entirely on the tune and how much boost is used and the size of the turbo , everything has a impact to how a engine will perform ...

[@smokepeddler]

Draw through from carb into the turbo.
Instead of pushing the turbo into the carb.
You get a cold charge , and it doesn't effect pressures into the carb.

[@shedtorquenthings633]

Each system has it pro's and cons, it depends on your budget

[@monica93304]

@@shedtorquenthings633 in my experience, off idle when you do a hard blip on the throttle of a draw through set up, it's generally very choppy in comparison to a blow through. To me blow through's are smoother to drive on a normal street VW. It also allows you to install an air to air or water to air IC. On draw through you'd have to do a water/alky and/or e85 to make it have NA intake charge temps.
This is very informative even for the experienced gear hear/mechanic.
The 1st set up I did was a draw through with a Holly progressive carb on a bone stock 1600. So fun to drive. On the freeway it was peppy like a mild 1776.

[@samueltrinidad9501]

Did you use stock 26mm venturi?

[@shedtorquenthings633]

Sorry for the late reply , everything is stock

[@fm9572]

the 34 PICT would be an ideal carb for blow thru with a 670cc Predator...
