just wondering anyone here got any experience with 5turbo fuel systems.
thinking of doing cheap turbo conversion on my 1600 ohc cortina as already have a spare t2 lying around, was going rob carb off a five and just make spacer plate to fit it.just need bit of info like do they use high pressure fuel pump and rising rate regulater and where do all vacum hose go

 

I'm using a 5 turbo carb in my turbo converted Anglia with a x/flow
Best to search for a 5turbo being broke
And getting carb,fuel pump and regulator
And a haynes manual of eBay and there's a diagram to show u where all ness parts/pipes go

 

TBH the solex is dark age now, spares are getting thin, and they warp/crack alot, are fussy, and need to be kept well serviced/clean.

Throttle diaphrams made of chocolate(i had a box of 10 in glovie box incase) and they are very sensitive to boost pressure, will leak/split all over the place if shoody condition or pushed toooooo hard 20psi is my max.. some see alot more.

replacement one's in GOOD nick cost a pretty penny so be wary of £30ers tbh.

There a good few negatives.

Plus side the Fueling/air can be fiddled considerably but very simply, piece of pish to rebuild/set up and/modify.

All You Need is a good Adjustable FPR with these carbs, and solid supply of fuel.

its simple tecnology that can yield some very good results.

Have a mooch on RTOC.com

 

cheers for info lads any idea what sort of pressure standard pump runs as have spare facet 10 psi pump, trying do it cheap as possable
