1. Your name is ------- retarded. Learn how to spell VTEC.
2. Do you even know the benefits of a rear mount turbo?
3. If it isn't broken, don't fix it? That's the motto you're going to use here? Your name is a clear reference to Honda, and I highly ------- doubt you own or even know of any cars made by Honda that come with turbos, so any turbo you're working with violates the principle you just quoted.
4. Proofread your ----. Use some god damn punctuation. And, it's a turbo, not a turba.

I agree ZMX, except for #2, because there really aren't any.

ZMX 10-07-2009 07:49 PM

Sure there are.

A rear mount turbo is easier to set up because of space constraints (not that there are many on a truck), and it has cooler intake temperatures.

AaronZ34 10-07-2009 08:12 PM

I don't consider the ease of setup really an advantage. It's like saying a CAI is easier than swapping cams.

As for the cooler charge temperatures, is that really an advantage? First off, we need to find a car that has problems with charge temperatures. Mine doesn't. Maybe that's because it's a well-designed kit. Regardless, finding one that does isn't hard. Now because of the higher IATs, it needs to back off a few degrees of timing. I guarantee you, both kits being equally designed, it will still make better numbers. Furthermore, steps can be taken to lessen the IATs. Better intercooler, better turbocharger, etc. Fact is, while the rear mount may have better IATs, the front mount will still outperform it, so the advantage is negligible.

A. ---- you.... whats the benefit of having a turbo that far from its power source besides lag and rust?
B. i know how to spell vtec u fucktard its a joke i am named after a phone...

on a seperate note my roommate has a 01 b4c car with a gt4788, and i am in the process of doing a hx40vgt d16 in my 1900lb racecar, so yes i have a little experience with turbos and i still think rear mount is junk...

show me 1 fast reliable rear mount car and i can find 100 traditional setups that are faster.

AaronZ34 10-07-2009 10:03 PM

Let me get this straight...You're building a racecar, and it weighs 1900lbs? I ------- hope it has power windows, a stereo with subs, and an iron block 350 to weigh that much.

vtech 10-07-2009 10:13 PM

well i retain stock tubs floor pan and firewall plus the weight of a cage 2 seats and im still around 500lbs lighter then a stock car... not to bad....

and i still wana hear the benefits of a rear mount setup?

vtech 10-07-2009 10:17 PM

sorry thoght u were the other guy i wasnt waiting for u to tell me the benefits.
