I have seen a few local cars, mostly Corvettes and Camaros use the STS kits with great success. What type of vehicle are thinking about doing this with?

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

they do it because they dont have room in the engine bay for a turbo. hondas have room for a GT42r if you remove JUST a/c. why the hell would you want to mount a turbo in the rear?

He has an H22 in a 92 civic. He might be cramped for space ???

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

not too bad

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

yes i do have very little space. i am running a h2b kit. (h22a with a ctr tranny) in a 92 cx. i was told there was a great temprature reduction by mounting it in the back. i was thinking about use a eletric oil pump to serve the turbo buy its self.

Don't buy anything direct from STS. 99% of the guys running a butt mounted turbo had to add a whole bunch of ---- to their"complete" kit. Make sure to heat wrap as much of your exhaust as possible, from the header flange back. You want to keep as much heat as you can in the piping.

rear mounts are teh ghey

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

Turbochargers convert thermal energy from the exhaust into useful work... The farther away from the hot exhaust gas, the less performance you'll get. For example if you were to put this thing right at the very end of your tailpipe it wouldn't do ----...

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

Heat wrap helps that problem a lot. And if Rear mounted turbos suck, how is the quickest street LSx powered car running 7s with one?

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

Well ---- in that case I'm converting to a rear mounted setup ::)

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

Rear mounted turbos "work" It is hard to make a turbo "not work" once there is something blowing thru it.
Is it as efficient as a normal setup? No
Is running a ton of piping to the rear of the car a good idea? No

I don't buy all this no room stuff. With creativity and fabrication, you can make things fit and work well.
An sn95 mustang has "no room under the hood" Some ingenuity and fabrication-twin turbos:

Here is an Fbody also with no room under the hood.

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

A well designed rear mount with the right pipe diameter will kick ass..

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

thanks guys just what i was looking for i just wanted some input on this system.

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

There is a ---- load of variables to making a system like that......im currently looking into building one for my B13 SE-R sentra....but the turbo i have now is to small (14B), and the piping sizing as long as the "pressure taper" some people put in the exhaust before the turbo flange all vary. i'm still getting imput myself.......i'm might say the ---- with it and go conventional...but i feel like trying something different first... :6

I love the window mounted intecooler/interior heater

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

Damn, no floor pan either. I saw that on Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. All you need are some shoulder pads with skulls and a dog collar and your good to go! :l

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

^^^I saw something like that on F+F. But the laptop was saying "Danger to Manifold" :-X :8

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

rear mounted turbo=junk

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

I think that is an intake. Those two pipes going right and merging with the exhaust y-pipe are for the intake I think

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

Yeah, I think you are right but I think we can all agree, it a lame set-up. I'm mean how much does that system weigh?

That looks like something that belongs at Gas-Works Park.

Re: Rear Mounted turbo, give input
 

should still have enough room for a front turbo kit in an h22 setup in an eg. why make things less efficient by sticking the turbo all the way in the rear if you have room?

Warning! Too much reading involving cavaliers taking it in the rear. :S :S

Rear mount are a waste pipe, material, and weigh a ---- ton.
