turbo: blow thru vs. draw thru

mean green said

EFI for the win . Draw through is not even on the table , that scenario is ridiculous and foolish in this day and age. Blow through is usually relegated to people that are afraid of EFI and are trying to cheap out and clutch to their familiar dated carburetor. .....................IMO :)

So I guess to you, building a 40 year old car with 10 day old parts is better than actually trying to build a 40 year old car with 40 year old hot rod parts. hhmmm. Where is the challenge in that. Finding a 40 year old draw thur turbo set up and making it work correctly seems more of a hot rod thing to do than just picking a part out of book and ordering. As for your EFI, it was done in the 40's on Allison aircraft engines. Port fuel injection with an analog computer. In fact most all of the new tech was done in the 1920's thru 1940's
Supercharging 1870,s
compound supercharging
turbo supercharging
electric supercharging 1929
4 valves per cylinder
roller cams
sodium filled valves
port fuel injection
speed density fuel management 1944 (aka analog computer)
water meth injection
No2 injection
blow thur carb supercharging
blow off valves
intercoolers
long ram intakes
etc,etc,etc

Almost all this tech today came from Allison aircraft engines (V1710) and Rolls Royce from 1920-1947. Any of this can be found on google patents search.
