The Flying Toilet Terminator?

[Darkwriter77]

Had to laugh when I saw this CL ad. I thought it was some kind of special edition of a Cobra...

Weird-lookin' carb, too ... if that's even a carb, at all. Looks more like a nitrous solenoid on the side to me. Weird thing...

alrighty then, part of it looks like it was dipped in a toilet

 

[Darkwriter77]

Also, I gotta wonder ... is it REALLY necessary to stack THREE phenolic spacers atop one another like that? I mean, wouldn't that just be begging for a huge vacuum leak?

 

[stykthyn]

well if one spacer is good then 3 must be even better

^^^^^^ words of wisdom right thuurrrr

The more I look at it, the more I'm having a hard time understanding how the hell the thing works. I mean, where does the fuel go in? It looks like little more than the top half of a carb with some nitrous jets attached to it.

Maybe it replaces the top half of a carb, and the three stacked spacers are taking its place...? Might be the reason why the guy's selling it - didn't realize he couldn't run a motor entirely on nitrous oxide.

Its not a carb, its fuel injection, but its not multi-port, i forgot the 'technical name' for it...but yeah, its FI.

[MrXCESSIVESPEED]

its mechanical injection.....

 

[fastford91]

thats the ugliest thing ive ever seen! it must go on a chevy owned by a guy named chill!

 

[Dark Knight]

Those are real popular on alky cars. I'd love to have a couple for my BB but they're $$$$. They stack spacers like that to add plenum volumn in classes that only allow a single carb. Not a street setup though.

 

[fastford91]

dont matter its still fugly!

Its mechanical "CFI" (constant flow injection),the "carb" is the throttle body,the part thats attached is the barrel valve the meters the fuel in relation to throttle angle,jets at the nossles control total fuel,and its missing a high speed bleed .Almost always these are feed with a belt or cam driven mechanical fuel pump and see pressure from 60psi to over 140psi depending on your set-up.

And as mentioned,very popular with the alcohol sportsman cars (mostly in bracket classes like Super Gas and Comp Eliminator),but would also work well in a heads up car runing a fogger system or possably a blow throu supercharger.
