I have read many helpfull hints on turbo charging. I am a lobsterman here in Maine. I have a 30 wooden lobsterboat with a 292 (fresh motor) I have a turbo charger from a saab 900 80s model. I have fabricated all the plumbing. I guess I will start with 8 lbs of boost, work from there. I am at the point of the carb and timing and cam. From what I understand the stock cam is ok, not the best but I am on a tight buget. I have a 1 bbl rochester, I can get bigger jets, but can it handle boost pressure? What do you guys recomend for timing, from what I understand 5-8 degres retarted is good, where do you dump the oil return back into the block, I was thinking a fitting drilled into the pan? I can assume h20/alachol injection will be a must. I also found dawesdevices.com has a great fuel/air sensor for like 50 bucks, just wanted to share this, a must so not to burn valves. In a marine application, the engine is under constant load, like going up hill allday. What affect do you think this constant load will have on my set up? What a great site! you can e mail me hodgdonbrett@yahoo.com THANKS!
