ok, so i'm sitting here in my boxers thinking bout almost getting kill by a bull on a 4 wheeler, and it popped into my head, my cars blown up. I was watching power block on day and i saw they put a turbo under the car. If i take off a turbo manifold, and put a non turbo header on it, could i relocated the turbo to under the car. it would be a small powerloss, turbo lag would be the same, it would keep it at least 100 degrees cooler and it would not have as much heat under the hood. I'd have to run the plumbing and ****, but i think i could make it work. rig a manifold on the exhaust maybe? tell me what you gusy think. Aaron, i'm sure you could think of something. and i'm completly sober.

 

Its The Weed Talking!

 

the heat helps spoolup, and you need oil pressure, drain, and colant for that turbo


I didnt know they had medical weed in Ohio also

 

dont worry about heat issues. you got a intercooler. Improve the efficiency of the intercooler.

 

leave it be

 

Haha, I saw them do this with a vette i think with two turbos under the rear bumper. I can't imagine it working any better than the stock setup we have but I would love to see someone attempt it.

You're starting with a TII???

 

some people forget that the volume in both the suction side and pressure side of the compressor has a lot to do with turbo lag and throttle response. ok so you put the filter back by the turbo? fixed one problem, now how do you fix the issue regarding the time it takes for the turbo to fill up that super long charge pipe, in addition to the intercooler and intake manifold? whoever thought of the rear mounted turbo = riceboy.

also, just to clarify, heat doesnt help spoolup. it has nothing to do with it. backpressure and exhaust manifold volume (in this case the volume in the manifold and almost the entire exhaust) are what determines spoolup. first the motor needs to fill the exhaust up to the turbo before it can start making power. then once the turbo finds the extra exhaust gas and spools, the whole huge long intake tube from the turbo to the motor needs to pressurize, and THEN finally you start making boost. totally and completely inefficient.

 

I was always under the impression the hotter the air the faster it will move. Hence better spoolup when the exhuast side is really hot? Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for the help s4gxl, There are lots of factors we did not discuss
