45 Dcoe 14 Weber For Blow Thru Turbo

[white_sandshoe]

Hi all,

 

Just wondering what people think of the 45 DCOE weber carbs...

 

I'm putting together a turbo 3TC, currently have a 3TGTE Exhaust and inlet manifold, a T28 Turbo, and looking at suitable carbs for a blow thru setup, and came across a 45DCOE 14 weber at a fairly reasonable price.

 

Seeing as I got no idea about webers (having been spawned of holden and holley origins) would these be suitable to run in a blow thru setup?

 

I'm aware of the need to fully enclose the unit (or mod to handle boost) and run a rising rate fuel pressure reg, but just wanting to know what sort of flow this sucker would have on a 3T under about 12-14 psi?

 

Just want to make sure I choose a carb that will not be a restriction to airflow in a boosted setup, and need to know how the 45 DCOE 14 rates...

The DCOE 14 are not the best match for a turbo since they have no seals on the shafts as they are very old. They also come with a 30mm venturi (choke) and therefore they are a bit down on the airflow since they were ment to 1.6 old engines.

 

However I'm looking for one of those pairs for a restoration off one of those "old 1600cc" engines of an Alfa Romeo. If you would be kind enough to give me the contact of the seller I would appreciate very much.

 

Regards and good luck with the project.

That was mid-last year mate... I've since graduated to a Maserati weber that was setup for blow thru from the factory.

 

As for the seller? long long gone... 18 months gone.

I didn't see this thread last year.

Know its probably not too much use to you now (if you have the maserati carb) but the Peurto Rican's run blow-through side draft webers running 8-9 second quarters!!! There's a thread sticky'd in this section just below the tech articles with lots of pics. :locked:

Yeah, I seen those crazy buggers running stupidly fast times... I'm actually using the maserati carb on a K series turbo as I came across a couple of complete 3TGTEs to go into the T18/s... Oh, and picking up another one tomorrow. hahaha. so now I officially have 3 of them.

Where the hell do you find a maserati carb? I'm guessing they're a specific Dellorto or Weber model made for maserati?

Got any pics of said K series turbo kit?
