Sir I am trying to restore my 86 third turbo coupe I need advice to make this a carb motor (the factory computer is missing just like every bit of wire.) What I need is someone who has made all the mistakes and learned what works Please share your experience with me
@@gravesgarage much obliged. Ive moved onto other projects. But I still toy around in the old girl. Let me know if you have any questions. It's easily replicated
Love the build! Lima engines are really cool I'd love to mess with one someday I'm wanting to do this setup with a 22r on a Celica. There isn't a lot of information I can find on weber blow through builds. From what I've gathered I know you need a pressure regulator with boost reference, foam floats, jetting, that choke butterfly delete you mentioned and a wideband sensor. Besides that are the Webers just ready to party out of the box? Or is there anything else I should look out for on the carburetor before I shove 10 psi into the thing? Thank you for the cool content ill be following this for sure!
Yes you'll need to start with a good fuel pressure regulator that is boost referenced. I used a QFT from Holley. The Weber 38/38 already had the foam floats, you'll need to remove the choke blades, then slide out the shaft. Also you need to epoxy shut the hole for the choke linkage. I do use an AFR setup from AEM to keep track of my fueling. I bought 2 jet kits from redline, one kit had richer jets and I bought a "low altitude" kit for leaner jets. I used the low altitude air bleeds if I remember right. Also there is a redline Weber air filter adapter to regular 5 1/8"... Then I used a Holley carb hat to adapt to the charge pipes.
Well the cam does help. I fully decked the stock head and put a comp 280h cam kit and it definitely helped with interstate speeds but it really needs a shorter rear gear. It's still a turd until 2500 rpm
Hey! Love this build. These videos made me bite the bullet on a blow thru build for my ranger. Just waiting on some more parts to show up, and im working on a custom header at school. Id love to chat and get to know more about your setup. What distributor are you running?
@@liambraun9138 no problem, Yes vacuum advance is still installed. So I got this aftermarket kit and only added 1 heavier spring. There are 2 springs in there. I'm not sure which one I ended up using Pertronix D700700 Flame-Thrower Billet Distributor Advance Spring Kit a.co/d/gDijdI6
You have to remove the choke blade and shaft, seal up the area the choke linkage comes through with epoxy. If you have metal floats you'll want to swap those out for nitrophyl float. After that you'll need to use an afr gauge to dial in your main jets. I believe I'm running 5 sizes larger than stock. But when the velocity increases from boost it naturally picks up more fuel as long as you are running a fuel pressure regulator that has a 1:1 boost reference. So when the boost goes up. So does the fuel pressure.
You could swap the intake and run a carb naturally aspirated on the cheap... But to make a blow through setup, It would have been cheaper to swap to a v8. Im currently driving a 302 v8 ranger and it was easier, makes more power, and less finnicky than the blow through turbo engine. My entire build list at the time of this video is in the description. If you have anymore questions about what I used.
While I hear what you are saying lemme propose this. Trust me Ive done the math and thought this through. Replacing the TK4- 4speed with the WC T5 that I already have would be a much better solution. The world class Turbo SVO T5 can hold more power (265 ft/lbs) and has a more favorable gear ratio. TK4 transmission gear ratios are 1st: 3.96 2nd: 2.08 3rd: 1.39 4th: 1.00 T5 transmission gear ratios are 1st: 3.50 2nd: 1.93 3rd: 1.29 4th: 1.00 5th: 0.79 So in top gear of the tk4 at 2500 rpms I'm at 54mph Doing the same 2500 rpms in 5th gear of the T5 ill be doing 68mph
Your right, I argue this with people all the time, 5 speed is the way to go. 4.11 rear is a little low for what you've got I'd do a 3.73 but you should be fine
@@monshuracingwell yea a t5 is a much better option than the ranger 5spd ( which is what I have not t5) and i agree i would do 3.73 or lower (more spd per gear, lower rpm

Bro can u tell me what distributor set up ur using?
nice build rangers are cool and badass
Good build! I subscribed!

I think your thermostat is missing a gasket. Happened to my Bros 90 mustang.

What kind of boost are you running, im running a 600 holley.
I travel a lot in the truck, so I have it set at 9psi.
Where did you find that header with the turbo flange?
EvilBay, Ive had to gusset and reweld some parts Bc its cracked twice.
What did you do with you're heater box
Cut it down and reshaped it. Used the pieces just inverted them. There is a very good video of someone doing it already

Stock distributor with heavier springs in it
@@monshuracing did you leave the vacuum advance hooked up?
@@liambraun9138 yes. I just slowed the curve and brought initial timing back a little. It is at 8° initial and 26 total
@@monshuracing sorry to double message, but where did you source the heavier springs?

That things sweet man are you going to turn it up any higher?
Yeah I have some plans.
I'm thinking of doing a super sniper EFI setup. Then I can let the boost loose
How did you make the carb blow thru I’ve got a motor raft 2100 I’m wanting to do

Thanks for info
Is the engine a stock ranger? With the turbo added
It's actually an omc cobra 2.3l from a boat. It comes stock with forged bottom end and I added Keith Black forged pistons
@@monshuracing thank you
what size pump are you running?
Holley blue pump
The bottom line is if it count more than a grand total it will get a v8 crate motor
But I would like to use this new motor

What year ranger thermostat housing??
94 ranger 2.3L
But the hose outlet wasnt the same, so I cut it off and welded the correct size on it.
what ecu set up are you using
ECU? None
@@monshuracing is it just a stock ranger computer?
@@johnnyperez1358 there is no computer. It's a 1984 ranger with a carburetor.
1 barrel😂
2 barrel 🤣😂
Change the rear ratio nit the transmission

TK4 transmission gear ratios are
1st: 3.96

T5 transmission gear ratios are
1st: 3.50
2nd: 1.93

So in top gear of the tk4 at 2500 rpms I'm at 54mph
