How much boost is it running? I doubt it's cutting the fuel. It will just be detting it's tits off.
As already mentioned, just put it on cheap aftermarket engine management.
Microsquirt for 300 quid all in, and away you go.
Buy from trigger wheels
Don't do it. Carbs are just litter.
Oh shush. GTT carb, fuel pressure regulator, supercharger, job done as I have everything else I need to boost and setup the pinto.
Just buy a microsquirt for under 300 quid and not only do you get total control over the fuelling in all situations (so far better blend of power and economy than you will ever manage with a carb) but it also gives you control of the spark as well.
I have control over the spark already. Going fuel injection alone, forgetting boost would involve:
microsquirt
efi inlet manifold
Fuel rail
injectors
low pressure fuel pump
Swirl pot
high pressure pump.
Return fuel line
plus more I have probably missed
For that I might as well change to a duratec.
Where as the GTT carb is a straight fit to a manifold I have, the fpr I need is about £50, make a couple of brackets, bolt on the supercharger and some new pipe wrote and a new belt and boosted build almost completely done for far less then going efi and not supercharging.
Dont mistake what I am saying, efi is great and far better than carbs, but this is fun and will be used for less miles in a year than I do in the scooby in a month.

Did a few things while waiting for bits to arrive in the post (which they didnt 
) fitted a voltmeter so i can check if the alternator is still working now that the supercharger runs off the same belt. its a small digital one that fits exactly in the central locking switch hole as if it was made for it
[/URL][/IMG]
i wired it up to a switch on the steering column so i could turn it on and off whenever
[/URL][/IMG]
its actually a guitar pickup selector switch up is off middle is on and down is on
(would also like to add here that it was only until i saw this picture i realized how disgusting the indicator stalk was)
and this is it turned on
[/URL][/IMG]
i quite like it. its a nice little feature
i also wired up an oil pressure gauge that ive had for months
[/URL][/IMG]
i have a feeling its not reading properly because of this
[/URL][/IMG]
its reading off the scale im putting this down to a faulty oil pressure sender unless its completely normal to run over 100 psi of oil pressure
theres always something wrong :dapprove:
stuff arriving soon though and hopefully some good videos
finally heres an instagramed picture of the clio because why not

yes and its screwed into one of those oil filter sandwich plates. has to be the sender or it could just be a really inaccurate gauge
