thinking of running a turbo behind the engine under the intake, on a honda d-series. anyone else done this? got it kinda worked out in my head gonna see if it will fit back there tomorrow. if ya know of some links to someone else running this way throw'em up. thanks.

 

of course it is possible but the questions you need to ask is
1. why
2. is it a good idea

 

Saw it on a b-series setup. The setup looked super clean and you couldn't even tell it was boosted the way he had it setup.

 

sounds like a waste of time/resources. but if its what you want, go for it

 

Dont you think the heat from the turbo would affect the air intake temperature. Also dont forget about your idle air control valve, tps, fast idle control valve, air intake temp sensor, all that heat from the turbo and the constant cold warm cold warm will affect them, just as they got out overtime on your everyday honda with high mileage. No one likes longer spool times either

 

all turbo systems do thats what intercoolers and heat wrap is for
whats your point
thats a good point

 

yes can be done ,

 

1. a.because it'll fit
b. so I can keep the a/c
d. hidden turbo
e. dont' need a huge turbo anyhow
2. yes its a good idea, no custom header, not in the way of the a/c, unused room back there anyhow, corvettes work great with turbos at the rear of the car, Its not the exact same thing everyone else is doing, I have the stuff to do it, I like stealth stuff.
Probably gonna do it soon, just thought someone might've done it already on here, and had a writeup or some pics. guess i'll just have to do my own writeup.
don't see any problem with heat, they make header wrap for the exhaust and turbo so it won't hurt anything back there, the air filter will be where the stock one is so it'll be suckin in cold air.
shouldn't take too long to spool. the small turbo i'm using comes in real quick, so it won't change much at all. if anything, it'll help with traction as it broke loose easily on the other car we had it on.
just figured someone mighta had pictures with all the crazy things people try on here.

 

ok stealth is nice but what about the ic pipes and ic itself??
