Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

remote mounted like the STS systems, aka lots of piping and lots of lag :S

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

Looks super clean, and got to keep some nice a/c and ps. Where is the turbo located?

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

In the glove box. It doubles as a toaster oven.

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

serious

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

LOL thats tight!! hella clean!

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

If it's like the STS prototype systems, then it sits under the back bumper with it's own seperate oil pump. Definately will have some lag, not to mention a pressure drop with how long the charge pipes would have to be.

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

I doubt its under the back bumper, why would the intake be routed back up under the hood and fanaggled back over the tranny? It looks like its somewhere close to the backside of the block. really clean setup though.

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

its definatly not an sts system

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

my guess a turbo mani made from some jdm header and an adapter plate.

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

more pics??

breaking out the mad paint skills, definatly looks like its right behind the block

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

If it is back there what is spooling the turbine? He must some how have it connected to the exhaust system

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

really!?!?!? :S, i thought it was a magic jdm turbo that ran on jdm pixey dust....

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

finally someone gets it right.. its a magic jdm turbo that runs off magic jdm pixey dust. lol thats funny. jeef got it right, its under the intake manifold.

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

that is some of the dumbest ---- i have ever read....

Why would you remote mount a turbo on a 4 cylinder car, especially one with such an aftermarket it is fairly cheap to turbo it normally? just to have something different? Then this guy has more money than brains

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

REAR mount is the ----


it causes all kinds of good things like lag and pressure drops.
and they are so much cheaper and easier to do, then a standard turbo on manifold setup. ::)






hopefully you got the sarcasm :1

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

yup, you laid it on pretty thick there. Unless you have a low-boost application(5-10 psi) on an engine big enough to spool the turbo so quick that lag isn't really an issue on a such a small turbo, they are useless

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

actually the car made 405hp and there is not any turbo lag especially with a 57 trim ball bearing turbo, the manifold design can also make a difference too. its just something different.

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

thank you for more pics. thats not exactly remote mount like we were talking about(i.e. rear bumper mounted), still you have like 6-8 extra feet of piping for whatever reason. Like you said, manifold helps alot, but having a baller bearing turbo doesn't hurt at all

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

I personally think thats a pretty awesome setup, nothing to do with being "different" either, know about ---- before you talk about ----....half the kids on here have never even driven a turbo car w/ the exception of their moms volvo...not to mention the percentage of losers who dont even have cars....to say remote mount turbos have lag is talking out of your ass (considering most of you have probably never driven a remote mounted turbo car, or seen one in action) neither have I nor am I claiming to have...physics makes it seem as if their would be turbo lag but the kits are designed ways for certain reasons, no ones gonna pay 5 g stacks for a kit if you get full boost at 8k, think about it

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

This setup looks like it wouldnt be so bad, it seems like an ok spot to put a turbo but charge piping would be a pain.


there's probably a good reason too, if it worked so great more people would be doing it.

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

a lot of people who do have the STS systems get them because they lack the space in the engine bay to fit the turbo and all of the components. Its not a very good system compared to a turbo on manifold system with the shortest possible piping route, not to mention you want to have the exhaust at a high temperature because it is still expanding over the turbine blades, while if you have a remote mounted turbo the exhaust gas has already started cooling making it harder to spool the turbo...

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

All in all thats true, this setup looks pretty good, charge piping would be a pain compared to normal standards...if all turbo kits were done this way it would be considered a pain...we're just use to the normal turbo on manifold set up and the way the piping usually goes....also a lot of people do remote mount turbo setups...on a c6 non zo6 vette at 8-10 psi it netted 550 some odd wheel hp....so it does seem to work well (for those who need to do this type of setup..realizing that is a v8, but point made)....and as for the heat and turbo thing..turbos do not like heat...look at what happens when you do stupid ---- like top speed runs on a turbo car, not to mention its going to take a lot more to cool that hotter air before it gets back to the throttle body...so at the same time you have to realize the ups and downs of both setups...I'm sure the charge going into the throttle body would be a bit cooler on a remote mount kit as opposed to a turbo on mani set up

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

Is that a fuel filter on the return line??

Cool lookn' kit but the fab seems a little much for the benefeits.

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

i think he is just running the fuel the other way through the fuel rail so the feed is on the right and return is on the left

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

ive always heard people biotch about the rear mounts long charge pipes...i dont see where it would be any worse than a set up like mine. i come out of the turbo behind the headlight through the hole in the side around the front and abck up the other hole with a 12x31x3 intercooler...thats a LOT of square footage to cover in such a short time. run a small intercooler and there wouldnt really be as much more space between the compressor and the TB as everyone makes out to be

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

Son, get back in line...I probably have done more boosted setups than you've had sex yet. The STS remote mounts were originally intended for vehicles such as the newer dodge ram's and tight clearance cars like the corvette. From what I've seen so far the STS sytem for Honda/Acura never really made it much farther than the prototype stages, simply due to the fact that front mount setups are much more economicle to build. As for lag on the STS, I know there is...ever try out a relocated style manifold (such as the elephant style being used on here lately) as compared to a standard log/ram style manifold? I have...and yes, it lagged a bit more than usual. I'm not saying the STS has "8k rpm" lag like you stated, but more than a normal setup.It's exponential, noob. Turbo's run hot, it's their nature. Engines on the other hand, do not like hot intake charge temps. Hotter air leads to hotter combustion, leads to *gasp* hotter egt's. Fuel and timing also adds into the egt equation. Top speed runs have nothing to do with how "hot" a turbo is...it has to do with how much stress is placed on the motor at high speeds, i.e. detonation and such under load. The motor is working harder because there is a higher load on it, egt temps raise because of said load. Egt's heat the turbine housing, and transfers heat to the compressor housing that compounds to the fact that the compressor is generating heat of it's own trying to push the air through. Now you have a higher intake air temp, which leads to detonation under load, and creates very high cylinder pressures when detonating...which leads to cracked sleeves and blown motors. I have personal experience in this, my old b18a1 block is testimony to detonation under a high load with 1 cracked sleeve (both inner and outer), 1 bent rod, and 2 broken piston skirts. Nice try, but next time do a little more research before you try to spout your "infinite wisdom". ::)

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

Looks like a great intake manifold heater to me. :-\

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

more pics of how the piping is routed would be cool...different for the sake of being different sometimes is cool, but it seems like this one would just be more of a headache

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

Yeah, looks like you would get some really high EGT's with this setup. I like it though. Make all the JDM ricers stare blankly in stupidity.

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

usuallly workin on the ehxuast system is hard enough, dealing with the manifold... now u gotta deal with BOTH manifolds. :(

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

well not if you know what you doing... setup is pretty simple easy and quick to intall....
maybe because we not ricers.... we do things right....

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

no offense but that made no sense what-so-ever

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

how did it not make sense, he said that making your own manifold or exhaust is fairly easy....

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

i was referring to the ricer/doing things right comment

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

well is like everyting you have to try the best to make it look good and work good
car make 405 hp - 93 pump gas in 5 dyno pulls

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

? who are u? if thats your car post dyno sheets if you wanna talk. Or else post porn and dont act like your someone else

Re: check out this turbo setup.
 

haha werd :P
