carb fourm
carb fourm hello,
I'm a die hard lsx guy (check sig) I'm starting a 90 fox,5.3,turbo,carb project (time to go fast)
anyway, it seems that all the carb info is all over the place. there are alot of people doing carb set-ups it seems..
who all would be down to have a carb section? we could share tuning info,set-ups,blow through set-ups,tricks and cams used to pass smog ect.. I belive if we get enough people interested we might convince the mods to give us a section or atleast a sub section of the conversion/hybrid area..
any takers?
I plan to take lots of pics of my project and build up of the "phoeny pony"

i have a blow through 6.0l with a d1sc and it has been a pain to try and get info, there are a lot of people doing them its getting the info out of them thats a pain. but there are a few very knowledgeable people that will go out of there way to try and help.
thx for the link man.. I'm really surprised there isnt a carbed lsx section, there seems to be alot of guys going to the carbs. I'm doing it for my new project, I can turn wrenches,weld,machine but I hate wiring..
I plan to hide my coils for a nice clean engine bay..

im in, im building a 5.3l carb setup now and its hard to find out any information you have to search all over the fourm. a carb section would be a huge help, and i think alot of people would use it. theres alot of people running carbs!

im an original member from day1. also an administrator and moderator.
i manage and approve new accounts. we had lot spam bs at first. not as much now but still active sometimes.
its slow but i hope it will eventually rev up with the ls becoming more popular for swaps and cheeper.
imo its cheaper and easier to run a carb. on these ls motors. $ for $
my first swap ran mid 10s out the gate and new owner runs 9s on a holley plate on pump gas. with 6.0 lq4 i built with 243 heads and trex cam. with a single 750 carb. and original edelbrock pill ignition coil control box.

the guy that taught me has his bbc chevelle with efi like afr throughout the board.
with a pro series 4150 850cfm he calibrated. with n/a bbc i put together.
car runs 9s on motor.
it takes lot of hands on and the wb02 really help with calibrating.
This site is definitely not carb friendly in anyway. Look elsewhere or search for info burried in various threads. We tried to get a tab made for LSx carbureted motors, but none of the guys running this site seemed to care.

the lsx tech is efi dominated. all oe ls cars are efi.
not many will revert back to carb. when all the efi parts are easier to mod. the ls engines with carbs will make more progress in swaps imo.

There is a lot of info on carbs in this section. Check out the sticky thread on carb and dist. The other good one is the carb data base thread. Lots of info on carb set ups and ignition profiles.
Carbs are suprisingly popular on this site. Probably 99% EFI, but still enough info on here to get going.
Innovate, the company that makes wide band O2's, has a user forum too. Some very detailed carb tuning info there. Not necessarily LS specific, but carbs don't really care about the engine type.

Carb Section I am looking around this site and did a search for "carb" and POP this one comes up. Sounds like a great idea. I like carbs because of the simplicity and don't have to have your computer retuned any time you update or modify your engine.
I am at a crossroad though.
I originally bought a 5.3L that has 99% of everything I need to run EFI. I am missing a fuel pressure reg, and a HP fuel pump. I bought a new frame that I am rebuilding and putting the engine in.
But, before I bought the frame I was going to just drop the engine into the truck I am driving right now so I bought the edelbrock intake with MSD spark controller, fuel pump etc.
I don’t like the idea having to take the PMC in to have it tuned and the VATS taken out, and worrying about the 02 sensors etc just to get it running.
Another question too, what carb is everyone running. I have always run edelbrock for daily driving, but I got a brand new Q-jet to go on it.
