1835 Turbo redo!

Post by Thorkhild »

I'm rebuilding an AJ Simms "under the decklid" turbo kit. The plan is to change it from a carbed draw thru , to blow through injected, Fuel and Spark controlled by a Megasquirt II v3.0 with 32lb injectors.

This is what im starting with

P&Cs will AA 92mm Thickwalls. Ignition is a IGN-4 tower w/ a Dubshop Hidden Wheel.

Throttle is going to be half of this 45 IDA throttle body from Hong Kong (ebay special) : Image .


And all of this fitting in my 74 Standard .

Other things to fix is the location of the wastegate, its too close to the pulley. I'm also going to fab a new "up" pipe to place the turbo in a better location. The quick plan has me not going over 10 PSI and to keep intake temps down so I don't need a intercooler. I have been reading about meth/water injection. My new TB has the injector bung, so i'm going that route w/ a 5th injector.

Wow, split shaft design I thought that fell of of favor in the Solex P11 days. Are you running it as a single and what is the linkage like?
Yeah some may call it overkill, but you can't have too much overkill.

I'm only going to run "half" of the IDA on a "T" intake. Once I get it in my hands, I hope I will be able to adapt the TPS switch and throttle lever from my IDF TB from CB performance.

Where did you get the fuel rail fittings?

Those are super expensive over here. 58€ each (180°)

Hi. I see you have a CB fuel T on your fuel tank. You need some copper O rings in side the CB Tee piece as the there are to many threads on the Tee and it will leak fuel.

Test it. Sit tank level. put a pint of fuel in it and leave over night. I would remove the TEE and O ring it/shorten it , which ever is easiest for you.

It has an o ring in it.

I will wait till i get my other couplings and fuel lines before i fill it again.

I have to wiggle and turn to get the tank in. Verry uncomfortable.

Yes, mine came with an O ring ,but its too deep inside the Tee piece, That's why You need a couple of copper O rings in place of the RUBBER O ring. Don't risk fitting the tank. I didn't no mine was gunna leak till I fitted it to the bug and added fuel.
