[DeTomaso] Something other than tires - Twin Turbo Pantera on Ebay

[jderyke at aol.com]

Julian, some of those early turbo setups used a 'priority' valve between the turbo(s) and the carb. The engine ran NA until boost pressure closed the valve and it became a suck-through system under pressure. Lance Nist had a couple of different kinds of this setup for Panteras in the '80s. Wonder how long this rebuild has been in the works- says Roy Butfoy rebuilt the ZF and he passed away in 2000.  Whatever, nice plumbing job and an attractive rework! Wonder how it runs?

Julian,


I ran a ’79 Bronco for years that had a ‘pull through’ turbo setup on it.


It worked fine. To the point that a 396 Camaro was stunned when a 4WD beat him in a street race.
:-)


Trouble is, 20 lbs of boost was hard on head gaskets. There was no waste gate in those days.
I limited boost with the exhaust system.
I ended up selling it back in ‘96, but wish I still had it.


FWIW,
Kirby

This great looking Pantera is on Ebay right now and I'm not much familiar with forced induction, but this is the first time I have seen a turbo setup with a carb on top and not pressurizing through the carb via a hat or enclosed carb?


I have seen screw type superchargers with carb(s) atop and can see how they would maintain a suction seal through the carb, but I'm struggling to see how the turbo would do so?
