hello,
over the weekend i picked up a vintage turbo kit for a mopar small block. I have never seen one of these and was wondering if anyone else knew about them? it has a rotomaster t4 turbo, cast iron exhaust manifolds with a turbo flange built on. it is a draw thru style. if any one else has seen one of these or knows anymore about this, please share your comments.

 

Never seen one, but I'd like to. How 'bout some photos? Very interested.

 

let me try and attach a photo. this is the only photo i took before i disassembled the unit. from the photo you can see the carb spacer. it has valves inside the spacer that are open during idle, but then close during boost and the the turbo sucks from the carb.

 

Bizzare

 

Someone just posted, they were looking at a complete car with a similar setup. "Back then" there were several companies, some small, some successful, and some "not" selling various add-ons like this

If you want "bizzare", Google up the workings of "Turbonique"

Several configurations of the Paxton/ McCullough belt drive unit showed up, both suck through and blow through. First ones I ever heard about were on Stupidbaker Hawks and 57 Fords

 

I picked up one a couple months ago off ebay....It is a rotomaster kit...has a AR/60 cold side....with a 76 T-4 hot side AR 88.....It seems I have to get this turbo rebuilt or purchase a new one with a carbon seal in it. Only thing I have to do is run a pipe from the drivers side over to the passenger...I have a broken hand at the moment, but am anxious to get this thing going.
