Last week I had a furlough from work so I was able to take the time and put it into painting my H. The first picture was last summer after with the stone boat a bit. The second picture was taken yesterday after I pulled her out of the shop. She still needs to get most of her parts put back on including the turbo assembly but I think shes looking good.

Are you blowing the compressed air directly into the carb air inlet? I think some on here had said this wouldn't work unless the entire carb is pressurized? How did you do it? It's pretty neat anyways!
 
yes I blow the compressed air into the carb. I did have some issues in the beginning because the boosted air was pushing the gas back to the tank and the carb would dry out. I added a simple 50$ fuel pump from NAPA thats rated for 10-12psi (I think) and I haven't had the issue since. When I pull its not uncommon to see 15-20 lbs of boost.

if you have any other questions feel free to ask.
 
based on the boost to hp calculations from the Keystone turbo website I got the following:

10 lbs boost -----> 65.3 HP
15 lbs boost -----> 76.4 HP
20 lbs boost -----> 89.8 HP

on my last pull of the year last summer I gave her all she had and I BURIED a 15psi gage I had on my boost side, with more throttle to go!!

Please keep in mind I have the C175 block out of a farmall 350 and not the original C152 block
