Gav_ek4 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 rear mounted turbo....show me at least 1 example of how this would actually work and i might not beleive your talking pure arse matenice car all the same, i liked the direction you were going till you started talking about rear mounted turbos. by the time you got the air to the inlet you would have no boost pressure...its the reason behind why intercoolers dont run stupidly long pipework Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D15 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Part of the reason I want to do a rear mount turbo is because Im currently doing a research project into new ways of cooling boost charge to help stop detonation and increase efficiency etc etc etc. Having the turbo at the back means it runs a shed load cooler and requires no intercooler. ALSO. The pressure drop between the turbo and the manifold should not be much more than the drop across an intercooler, given the volume of air it takes to fill an intercooler, and the small diameter of the charge piping used in a rear mount set up.As I said, Im hoping to use a T25, capable of compressing to 15psi, more than enough for my meagre 200hp goal, so a 2-3 psi pressure drop is perfectly acceptable.Examples of proven rear mount turbos;http://www.balancemotorsport.co.uk/main ... roject+carhttp://www.vetteweb.com/features/vemp_0 ... index.htmlOI8epUHHpRA And yes!

D15 Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Ok, done a few little bits.Had to fit a new short shifter after my aluminium one snapped :S Not sure what make it was as a friend gave it to me, but the new steel one I bought from eBay seller '800bhp' is decent enough, smooth bearing but not quite short enough for my liking, still shorter than stock though!While I had my car up on the ramp at college I fiddled around with the front damper pinch bolts. The front left had slipped by about 10mm so had to raise that back up, but also raised the right by about 5mm. They are all nice and even now and much less scrubbing Still nice and low, but much more reasonable. Also have the dream team in the background Finally fitted the ITR wing I bough off 'Blames Vti' months ago, absolutely loving it!And spent over an hour rubbing my exhaust down by hand with sandpaper, all the way to 1200 grit to make it shiny againHope you all like!

cal Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 seen the remote turbo'ing before and its interesting. someone on the net they were testing a 205 with a BB gt28,ade good power and temps were very stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D15 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Cheers for the comments guys Top marks have to go to Blames though, I got the spoiler from him with the carbon lip already on which I think is a nice touch. Not quite as easy to install as he led me to believe though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
