Refrigerants and turbocharging a carbeurated car...

[DemonTSi]

In a message dated 98-05-03 15:31:23 EDT, you write:

<< fuel cooling
 I have seen this done with the sameunit I previously described
 oil temp contorl could also be done
 or maybe even ex gas temp control >>

Now there's an interesting idea...and assuming that you have a fuel system
(injectors, regulator, etc...) capable of handling super-cooled fuel, how much
of a gain can you expect from using cold fuel? 

I also had a quick question to ask the list...about turbocharging a
carbeurated car. I was considering throwing a turbo on to a datsun U20 engine
(from a 2000 roadster) and running a blow-through setup. What types of things
would I have to take into consideration as far as the fuel regulation and
sealing of the intake is concerned? I drew a quick sketch of my idea that can
be see at: http://members.aol.com/idiscool/turbo.jpg
It's a simple, non-intercooled setup that would probably be limited to no more
than 5-7psi...I think I'm also going to put on a thicker head gasker to lower
compression...just to be safe. Any help/advice/info/comments would be great.
Thanks a lot...!
