M38a1 Turbocharged L134 Build Thread

Alright, can everybody see the photos now? Even in the first post?

 

Yes

 

I was able to from the beginning

 

still want to see this turbo charged 134 flat head engine pictures

 

And a dyno slip.

 

You had my attention at turbo charged . . .

 

ruh roh raggy...here we go...
just kidding, love the build

 

I don't know about a dyno slip, but I know it's considerably faster than a 1950 Willys Pickup with a Supersonic Head, Electronic Ignition, and slightly bigger carb.
Seat of the pants feel, anyways.

I thought the title would be an eye catcher, I guess some photos would be obligatory.

Both of these were in the early assembly stages, sometime around mid-2016. I started testing in late 2016 - early 2017 and it's been on there ever since. 2bbl weber, draw through configuration. Garrett T03 off of an 84/85 Chrysler LeBaron, carbon sealed water cooled.

3 years since, 87 octane, 93 octane, 5 psi, and no problems besides taking me this long to get the tuning dialed in. lol definite learning curve there, having never worked with carbs that much besides cleaning and gaskets.

 

The 50 on the turbo was the price that I paid for it. $50. Carb was used for $100. The rest is Sch. 80 pipe and scraps and 3/8" plate.

 

Stock heads and pistons?

 

Literally stock everything internally. I've never opened the engine up, and neither has the last two previous owners. So if it has had a rebuild, it was more than 20-30 years ago.

 

What was the compression numbers on the cylinders?

 

105-110 PSI on all cylinders

 

Holy cow I'm out of date on this. I've never been great at keeping up with forum posts, and the issues with photo uploads have impeded my progress slightly.
However I'll try and fix this and get the rest of my photos and build progress up.
Yes, it still runs and drives just fine.
Drag raced my brother's L134 with high comp head and other things, and once I hit second gear and boost kicked in, I was gone. Chasing down a suspension issue currently, getting some wierd vibes on pavement.

 

get ready for a fall reunion!

 

Yeah I've got to take a hole saw to my floor for that trans oil filler trick yet. Lol but I hope you dont mind if I trim it up a little nicer than yours

 

Remember I have a horizontal leg on the Transmission to clear the clutch.

 

Haha I almost forgot.
