I ahve a 92 b2200 wirth a carb, can you run a turbo on a carburated motor?

i haven't seen it done, but i have heard that you can run a super charger w/ a carb, i don't know about a turbo though, either way super or turbo, it is easier to regulate the fuel air mix if it was fuel injected.

Yes you can.. because they have turbo kits for the old VW beetles. Don't know how it works or where to start.. but yes they do.

the older ford probe GTs, like early 90s i believe had some turbos, and i think they were carbed. those engines were almost identical to our engines in the 86-93s

They make kits you can buy that connect the turbo to the top of a carb go to

thetornado, is right About the old school Probe gt's but im pretty sure they were all fuel injected, everyone i've seen runing the probe turbo in there mazda uses the head and intake manifolds so they can make it fuel injected instead of carbed...

you can run a carb setup but you would have to figure out if you want to make it a draw through or a blown through carb. just do a search for carb turbo setups, i'm sure you can find stuff

all the old probes and mx-6s are FI, i have it for my truck, you'll have to get the FI intake manifold off a b-series, you'd have to hack out the firewall for the probe one to fit, and thats not worth it, besides that everything else will work, if your using the mx-6 or probe head then you'll have to go distributerless, and use the mx-6 wiring and computer, it allows for bigger injectors than the probe does

i think it ur going to go through all the trouble of turboing it. just spend the extra time and money and swap to FI. it would be easier to tune the turbo and everything....just my $.02 tho
