Draw through turbo using a kadron?

itsbuggytime · Post by **itsbuggytime** » Sat Dec 01, 2001 7:15 pm

Anybody considered using a single k-dog in a small cc draw through system? Say, a t-3 1776 with a k-dog and 36mm vent? is there an advantage in using a weber progressive?
just thinking....

Try it! If you build the system and it doesn't work so good, just change the carb for something that will work. Eric "Volksnut" Sorg used a Weber DCNF on a T3 and it worked awesome! Later it developed a problem that prompted him to switch to his sidedraft 45mm Weber. Heck, you could even fab a manifold and linkage that would use 2 Kduds in a progessive set up. Try to think outside the box.

Alright!
Tried a dual Kadron blow through setup about 5 years ago, on a 1600 cc T1. It never really worked well. -There was a reasonnable amount of power, nothing to write home about but we basically got either too much or too little fuel and for some reason the turbo lag was huge. tried to cure it in several ways, including a dumpvalve. No luck. Replaced the Kadrons with dual 36 Turbo prepped Dell´s and the thing flew

if you want to use them on a draw through, go for it, check out the intake I made for my DCNF http://www.geocities.com/thevolksnut/dcnfintake.html ...simple but it worked, you could use the same theory but you have to work out the linkage (the hard part), or connect the throttle shafts together some how...

Dude, please lay off the "e" button.
Next, not to many people are gonna have advice for a Kdud turbo motor simply because not many people go that route. Sidedrafts and Holley derivitives are the common choice.
As for what to do with the carb. Use a Holley blue pump with Holley regultor and lite weight spring. Set normal fuel pressure for 3 psi and then modify it to raise pressure as you come on boost. Purchase an exhaust sniffer (about $100 or go to www.diy-efi.org for the low down on how to build one) and start test driving. Report back here with what happens with fuel curve vs. rpm vs. boost and you will probably get good advice on how to tune the jetting to suit your motor. Volksnut did an amazing job of tuning a 30+ year old Weber DCNF to work with his motor. Anything's possible., you just have to build it before you can tune it.

I also tried a blow through setup using k-dogs, and just like you said the fuel was too little or too much, and HUGE LAG. There was a small window of power like 500rpms. It really sucked

Lo Cash John...i didn't find the info on how to build a exhaust sniffer(?)...is that a waste gate?
