Crazy hillbillies........... I think I see the banjos and fiddles in the background.

 

wtf??????

 

Talk about NO exhaust energy

 

This is on a lt1 car.

 

If that **** works which by the way it should although it it won't be the most efficient way to do it would be pretty dam amazing!

You have got to be kidding me!!!

 

just the spot I like my high temps to be. right next to the damn gas tank.

But its not even hot there! The turbine inlet temps (ie where the turbine wheel gets its energy) will be crap.

 

LT1 eh..... sounds familiar. I know of a company here in UT that speciallizes in this. Their "show-off" car is an LT1 Z28, painted really dark purple. Lol, what a joke.... the thing does mid 12's, running 9 lbs of boost on a good day. The idea is that by placing the turbo in the back, you get a colder intake charge to start, and you don't need an intercooler, because the pipe from the compressor to the intake is long enough to cool down the charge. My buddies just laugh when they see it, and spew out comments about how he's got his turbo up his ***.

My friend in a 02' Stratus R/T NA schooled a Tacoma running 10lbs using the same setup. Pathetic......

 

It must be strange having the turbo noise coming from behind you and the engine noise coming from the front.

 

watch out for potholes and falling turbos lol

 

Can we say turbo lag?!

 

IM wondering how that oil return line works?

 

man i dont think that i would like that much heat that close to my fuel tank. Also man that air filter would get alot of water and **** in it going down the road.

Been around the world, and I thought I had seen it all... and then I checked the Forum.... Nope!

There definitely are stranger things in Heaven and Earth (and the Internet) than even my vivid imagination can craft.

So where's the blow-off? In one of the wheels?

 

i seen a few people have whirling noise from the back, because of the WOO wOOOoo

 

I can't wait to see what the Porsche guys think about this!

 

Here is the thread.

It's a sleeper. Look under the hood and it looks N/A. Not the best place for the turbo, but you will fool some people and take their money in street racing. Can't blame someone for trying.

 

Did I not say its slow....... I've seen it in person. They call it the purple people eater, and Honestly I think the same engine with the proper exhaust, intake, cams and a bit of head work could be just as fast.

Oh BTW, they blew the engine on it a week or two ago.... so I guess the whole - not needing a intercooler cause the pipes are long enough to disipate heat - crap, turned out to be just that, crap!! Lol

 

I also live in that area and have hung out with the owner of the car (Brandon) and I will second fatboy's comments that it is painfully slow for an FI LT1. He was in the high 13 second territory before he blew his motor.

In my Stratus R/T, I beat (badly) a TRD Tacoma with the same setup as the Camaro. There is just no exhaust energy by the time it gets to the rear of the car/truck. While there may be some merit to the idea, there is a reason why no one else has done this

 

haha...........

 

Now if he moved the engine to the hatch area, that might be a good place for the turbo (also assuming you move the gas tank to the front of the car).

yep, that's what he needs to do. that way he can have all the weight over the rear axle to help improve traction he so desperately needs to go along with that HUGE 14mph increase
