Hey All,
I was home 'sick' from work today.. Actually was kinda sick and when
you work in a hospital you can snake out of work if you feel kinda sick.....
because its for 'the good of the patients'.
Anywho, I was reading this book, Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. Its a
pretty good how-to book about turbos. Lots of good pictures and good theory
it appears to be prettty inteligently written and covers every aspect of
doing
your own turbo set-up, I reccomend it. Plus, Corky used to race a roadster
in
SCCA comp. I turn to the chapter on blow thru
turbo's and he says that the absolute best carb to use is .....our beloved
mikuni 44phh!!!!!! In one of the pictures they show a pretty cool looking
airbox/
integrated air-to-water intercooler on a set of 44phh's. Aparently BMW
2002s have the same carbs as us.
So, there does exsist aftermarket turbo set-ups for the 2002 this
would seem to me to be a good place to start if I were crazy enough to want
to turbo a U-20. I think I might try to order a catalog from one of the BMW
places advertised in GRM. Also vintage BMW performance suppliers might
have other Mikuni goodies, worth a look- how different is a BMW 2002 engine
from our U-20's both OHC 2000cc inline fours running 44phh carbs.
Now if I can just find a good deal on a set of forged low compression
pistons for the U-20....
