ok, heres the story with out beating around the bush.
i just recently got a RA23. has no motor, or gear box, but has a few bits and pieces which can be used as spares.
i'm in the process of finalising a 18R-c with 5 speed gearbox. motor having been rebuilt, and nice smooth gearbox. i have already made the turbo intake and exhaust manifolds for the 18R-c.
set up will be a draw through carb, using a stromburg. i haven't found a way to incorporate a FMIC in a non-cross flow motor.
may not plan to use excessive amounts of boost, but a usable power band for lap sprints and circuit. may look at a low diff ratio to compensate for low-medium boost levels.
we're trying to NOT blow the motor up, but try to keep it in a fairly reliable form.
what compression have people found suitable for forced induction, at at what boost levels? i still have yet to find out what turbo i will be using.
detonation/pinging. can someone brief me on this, and ways to reduce/prevent it. is this where the mixture ignites before the piston reaches the top of its cycle?
thanks for all this help, it been really useful.
Steve
