Warning - Noob Question: Draw through Carby Turbo Setup.

[m.o.d.aus]

Hey guys, was going to post this in the noob question section, but thought i would get a better response here.
Anyways I have a couple of questions about 'Draw through turbo setup' on carby engines.
Now I think about cars alot :p as most of you would too. And have recently been thinking of going down the path of carby vtec setup. But last night, I thought, i could run a carb turbo setup aswell, as I've driven boosted cars, and the feeling of coming on boost is just great :)
So to my knowledge, and please correct me if im wrong, but a Draw through setup runs like this:

Carby -> Turbo -> (possible) intercooler -> intake...?

If this is the case, then it would be possible to keep my headers in place? and run a seperate front pipe connecting it after the initial headers?
Also, how/what intake would you run on this setup?
Lastly, the carby, it just sits there? Before the turbo? So you could effectively mount it anywhere yes?

I hope all that made sense haha.
Cheers Nic.

Why carby? Sure, anything can be done. You can have draw through and push though setups. Sure you can keep your headers in place, you can do anthing, place anything anywhere you want, but you need to plan things out and keep placement with each item in relative proximity of each other, just for neatness, simplicity and performance reasons. As for intake, again, anything! As long as the air going in it filtered and non restrictive. I'm not sure about the Intercooler between turbo and intake, as most carby old skool setups I've seen don't use an intercooler because of fuel gathering issues.

Im not sure if i posted in that thread, pretty sure i did, but here is a quick run down with carby turbo setups.

1. Draw Through.
On the exhaust side its all the same as normal, but on the intake side you need to make up a mounting plate for the carby, weld this to the intake pipe which goes to the turbo, and then this goes straight to the manifold. Like said above, you cant intercool a draw through setup because the intercooler turns into a giant combustion chamber. Fuel pools in the bottom of it, and it fills up with vapour, and if the engine backfires then the whole thing goes bang.

2.Push through.
With this setup, the carby needs to be boost referenced. This means re-seating the jets to be setup for the higher pressure, as well as different seals etc, because stock they arent designed to be pressure fed, so it will force air/fuel out of the seals. You can run an intercooler with this sort of setup.


edit: Dont forget that youll need an electric fuel pump. With the push through, youll need an efi fuel pump. a simple electric fuel pump only produces about 7psi of pressure, and if youre running 10psi boost then its just gonna force air back up the fuel line, so youll need an efi pump which pumps at about 60psi to overcome this.
