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
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.
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
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?
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?
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 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.
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..
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
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 ......
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 ...
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 😉

Try adding a extension to the fuel bowl vent up into the boost pipe, brings enrichment on a little quicker
There is another way, increase enrichment by changing your emulsion tube bleed does the same thing
Great info building blown 1600 on e85
Thankyou I'm glad it helped you
This is a great video much appreciated for your years of wisdom 🤙
Glad it was helpful!
Hi I’m very interested to modify a carb like it but for a Mk2 vw golf can you help me to know what to Simon those ?

Planning the same but onna 1.7 type 4. Twin carbs. Twin turbo. For a cheap as possible
Thinking of doing the same to a type4 1.7. Twin carbs twin small turbo 🤔

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

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

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

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

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

Does this also apply to super chargers?
I would always run a carby before the supercharger
Did you use stock 26mm venturi?
Sorry for the late reply , everything is stock
Hi, I have a naturally aspirated 2.0 ltr 2010 VW beetle... Is it safe and worth it too turbo it?
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 ...
