ya been there done that looking to do a carb turboed just for kicks this one looked like a good applicant

Just do a blow through carb setup. Not to difficult.

[madafye]

same as u would for fuel injected just push thru carb not throttle body?

yeah except you need a carb tuned for a 2.4L 4cyl with boost.

Good luck with that being cheap.

Enjoy non-smooth driveability, and you'll need a crazy fuel pressure regulator to tone the pressure down to like 4psi.

I'm not a fan of boosted carbs, so much to go wrong and a lot less help for our engines. American v8? there's more help and proven setup. Our cars you'l have to find some one that knows what they are doing and convert a carb to work.

Good luck if you really want to go with it. You might end up spending more on the carb setup, and hopefully it works out for you if you do. But it might not be as nice as an EFI setup...

Blowing through the stock carb doesn't make sense. You will need a webber or holley to start. A good FPR to keep the fuel at about 8 psi for 10 pounds of boost. A proper cover for the carb, a lot of tuning and you'll need to get more advance from the dizzy.

turboing a z24 is just a terrible idea... on top of the fact turboing carbs is assanine, the z head is crap and won't hold to boost at all
