Mount the carb on the intake of the turbo and it will work way better. Right now whatever boost you are making is pressurizing what normally should be a vacuum operated carb. The only other option is if you convert it over to EFI, then you can have the throttle body after the turbo.
You need to put the carburetor in front of the turbo, not behind because the carb needs vacum to work properly but the turbo puts positiv pressure on it so no gas will be sucked out through the nozzle in the carb. Sorry for bad English😂
The impeller should turn very easy, and continue to spin. That may be a little too big for that engine. Still a very interesting project. I like your oil system. That should work just fine.
@@specialt9744 It sounds good. I hope it works good one thing if you put a good load against the engine, that's when the turbo will show how well its working. You may need to be sure the engine is running at 3600 RPM to get max power, maybe 4000. Good luck will be waiting to see how it works for you.
@@bertgrau3934 So far the turbo has been pretty good. I still need to adjust some things to get it perfect though. I’ll have to look into the engine speed, it seems to be pretty close to the 3600rpms but I’ll have to put a gauge on it.
I keep it on there so I can use it as a pull start if the battery dies and it’s not to heavy so it doesn’t throw off the engine balance. Thank you for watching!
@@specialt9744Would you say a Mazda CX7 KO4 (smaller turbine than Mazdaspeed turbo) would be comparable to that one? Don't want to blow it up on the first go😅

I might end up doing that but I don’t want to have the governor bypassed because I still mow with this mower. Thank you for watching!
let'S GOOOOO super pretty build ! i watch and love your oil tank !
Thank you for watching! I should have part 2 out in a week or 2

I might have to try putting the carb up front, thank you for watching!

The impeller spins even at an idle, and your probably right about the turbo being to big but I’ll try to make it work. Thank you for watching!

Put your carb before the turbo because the fuel bowl will pressurized and run out of fuel.
I have had a couple people say that already so I might have to try it. Thank you for the info though!
if you don't end up using this, get a gy6 moped carb with the intake of amazon, they work really good with this flathead
I think I’m going to end up trying this setup on a different engine. Thank you for watching!
@@specialt9744 try it on a V twin
@@probablysomeonesomewherethat’s my plan!
@@specialt9744 kk
Ok I love the idea but the boost can have potential to blow up that motor but I am not sure so it might not be what I thought but that’s my theory
@@Noah-p7d5o it definitely could but I never got it running good with the turbo set up so I put it back to stock. Thank you for watching!
so interested to see how this goes
Thank you for watching!
Take that wobbling pulley off on top of your flywheel it will thought your engine out of balance.

Get them hot by running the engine and they will usually not break in the block
Yea that’s a good trick, I just got lucky when I did it. Thank you for watching!
Yea but how do you get more fuel wen you need it
I couldn’t ever get it to run right so unfortunately I ended up taking the turbo off
Why did you do this
: simplified answer, because why not
That’s for sure! Thank you for watching!
Not bad
Thank you for watching!
turbo link ?
I bought it used on eBay for cheap but it’s a 3.0 L SAAB turbo

@@Dyl_Cam I’d say it’s close enough to give it a try… what the worst that could happen🤣 thank you for watching!
Turbo waaaay too big for the application.
Probably but I’m trying to make it work, thank you for watching!
but why though?
Why not!🤣 Who wouldn’t want a turboed lawn mower, thank you for watching!
