Nope, they don't sell kits. It is just a site detailing the process of doing a home made remote mount turbo, all custom stuff, piping, etc. No kits, he just has a few spare oil pumps for sale.

I don't see why this setup seems to **** so many people off. They obviously work, the results show that. So if it works, what's the big deal? Ok, so there's more piping and you need to run another oil pump. I think it sounds sort of cool actually, I've seen a few cars with it, and they all look pretty solid.

Yes, I know humans are creatures of habit, and generally closed-minded, but if it works it works right?

Those two side mount turbos are too small to be able to hear if you tried.

It drains the oil onto the top of the engine. It must be nice to not have to tap the oil pan!

This is about as smart as putting your **** in a meat grinder.


ALL OIL MUST RETURN TO THE OIL PAN SO THAT IS GOES THROUGH THE FILTER.

I have decided, I'm going to do the 2.0L ls/vtec with the T3 .48/.60 rmt. First I have to build the ls/vtec around n/a for a while just for my peace of mind. Then start project rmt.

I'm not looking for a lot of power. Anything over 250whp, I'll be happy with. Hell, I should get close to that with the 2.0L ls/vtecbuilt with a lot of headwork (which it will have) and an itr valve train/cams.

Well, I'm ------- drunk. I'm goin to bed. Oh yea, I do suck at reading. lol. My attention span and memory are about 30% of what they used to be when I cared. lol

2.8/3.1 Gen II and 3100/3400 Gen III v6's are 60* motors, unlike the 4.3, so no real similarity. But good on him if he brings it up.

250 WHP is stretching the hell out of the t3 48/60. (mercedes wheel or not)

but i am thinking now.... Since the turbo is that far away from the engine, maybe that 0.48 stage 1 turbine would still be Ok and just the compressor needs to be beefed up, resulting in an hybrid that is more disproportionate that I would normally consider acceptable on a conventional setup. somthing like a stage1, .48/.70, t3/T04E or something like that.
