Default Anyone ever heard of Martin Turbo Systems??

My uncle had this setup on his 71 base car. I think he installed it around 1981 or so. It has a Rajay turbo,special exhaust manifold,a two piece intake manifold, and all the assorted plumbing. It has only about 3000-4000 miles on it, but its been sitting in a box for the last 20 or so years. He said it's mine if I want it. Should I grab it, or is it junk? The turbine spins smooth and free, no binding at all. Thanks---JC

Jump on it. I don't think it is as efficient as the newer ones, but you should still be able to get at least 50-10 hp out of it.

yeah, I heard of it. It's similar to the accell turbosonic kit and the stuff installed on the duntov Turbo. The complete kit consisted of a turbo, a pipe to the manifold, a carb mounting pad, exhaust manifolds, downpipe + cross over pipe and some valves and lines for the flappers inside the manifold.

I think the turbo was a RaJay 301

Can you snap a good pic of it?

Grab it.
