he said werd. as in word, not weird.

As in he agrees with me that you need to stfu

I believe the Mugen turbo kit for the 1G CRX had the turbo located behind the block. If I were doing it the turbo would be much lower, and it would use an a:w intercooler to keep the charge pipe lengths reasonable.

watch many episodes of 'horsepower tv' on spike? lol. They do that ---- cause they are paid to promote new products and talk highly about them. Not saying the sts doesnt work, but you cant compare a vette to a civic. Get real and get a rope.

Hahaha... ---- yeah dude. That's a tight fit!

Cool to see someone doing something that's different from the rest.

Granted...you are right on why these kits were developed, but as for on a import like a honda they are in prodution...hondatuning happened to install a kit on a 00 type r...this car had a great powerband and produced great numbers on low bost

and I didnt state that remote mounts had a 8k lag, I was telling these kids I doubted that it was that serious...no worse than a big turbo on a ramhorn...and btw, if ramhorns are so great and obviously in your opinion produce the least lag, (which may be true)...wtf are so many big name companies running topmounts?...yeah, exactly

nice try *** basket but I'm pretty sure what was being spoken about was the temperature of the turbo not how high egt's helped you blow your garbage *** motor up, I stated that having a turbo located in the rear would help not only cool the charge more on the way back to the motor but also help keep the turbo free of the obvious heat generated in a engine bay, I'm not praising remote mount turbo systems but I'm not busting on them...just because my post count on this site isnt as high as yours dont mean ---- son, and you might want to step back in line for class so you can be taught something...When a turbo in a sense "overheats"...it seizes, therefore no more boost...resulting from high heat generated by long pulls (i.e. top speed)....Everything you said was infact true, but completely irrelivant to my point...I was stating that people are talking bad on remote mount systems because of things like lag and what not, I simply put that with ANY type of turbo system you have to give a little to get a little, in order to run ac most of the time a log manifold has to be ran, generating less horsepower....but yeah, nice try bucko...

Lol...you're a funny kid. I've never seen a turbo in my life sieze from too high a heat range. I've seen oil get a little too warm and get thin and score the shaft and bearings up to the point that it may seize, but that's about it. Hell, I even have a housing sitting in my garage that has the inside casting completely melted away from high egt's, but the turbo itself has no shaft play whatsoever and spins very very freely. Lemme break something down for you...heat is energy, take away some heat, you take away some energy. Less energy would mean running a smaller a/r exhaust housing in the rear-mount setups to try and make up the for loss in heat's energy. And for a turbo pretty much hitting the "max" it's going to make and just producing nothing but heat from there on out and high speeds, it's called going beyond your compressor's efficiency range, caused by an improperly sized turbo. And just because you think you have some monster t3/to4e setup on your 1.6 or 1.8 doesn't mean it won't be in it's efficiency range at low boost. Low boost on larger compressors is actually one of the worst things people can do, and bouncing off the surge line will make just as much heat too. Compressors those size are meant to be run at high psi levels, that's where their peak efficiency's are located. As for top-mounts being more widely ------, it really has nothing to do with the turbo heating up, more to do with the exhaust pulses being evened out more. Hands down every good tuner knows that adding cam overlap on a log manifold helps the scavenging process and helps even out the exhaust pulses. With a top-mount or a ram horn, the scavenging process already has an advantage, and less cam overlap is then desired. That's why top dogs use 'em. Not to mention running a split tang housing with a nice even exhaust pulse on each side will still produce a fast spool time. So in the mean time I highly suggest putting down the stupid street and honda-fooling magazine and do some actual research. And to sit there and call me "son", well...I hope to god you're over 30 then :P

I was gonna respond to your whole response but I decided to stop here...You obviously know how to read, or may just happen to know a little about compressors, but point blank you just contradicted yourself 100%...to say I've never seen a turbo seize from getting to hot..and then say "i've seen oil get a little to warm"...and in turn get thin and burn up, scoring the shafts and destroying the bearings causing the turbo to pretty much take a fat ------- ----..yeah, makes a lot of sense...btw, I dont feel arguing much with someone who made remarks to being over 30 and cant spell the word seize...point proven

Son, you don't know what the ***** you are talking about. You along with so many others confuse LAG with BOOST THRESHOLD.

LAG = Time to boost when above boost threshold.

BOOST THRESHOLD = RPM when desired boost is reached, entirely load/gear dependent.


The increased runner volume increases lag, but by so little that you are going to need timing equipment to find teh difference. Boost threshold can actually DECREASE since it is far easier to make equal length runners.

Oil getting warm has to deal with engine temps. Oil coolers help lower those temps. Most of the time people overlook oil coolers, probably because they never think they're going to need one. Couple quick passes and cool down time. It'll work that way, but I do road courses...my oil gets hot, and it would get hot regardless of whether I run boost or n/a. And if your oil temp is that high that it makes the shafts score up from contact, you obviously have bigger motor problems than just your turbo. I said I've seen shafts get scored, never said I saw them completely lock up. Oh, and I'm not over 30...yet. Just means I've got a few more years into this than you do. And I apologize on my spelling of the word "seize"...I was in a rush when typing.I know the difference between lag and threshold. The term "lag" is used very loosely around here, so that's what I used. Please excuse my lack of correct terminology.
