You know what seeing this makes me think of?

1. Remove fuel tank.

2. Route turbo into old Fuel Tank area. Unexposed.

3. Go for a fuel cell.

 

Unless you are going to isolate all the hot piping, it would be PITA to have exhaust pipes inside of your car.

 

4. make the charge pipe look like a twin exhaust system

 

Who said anything about inside the car? Remove the FUEL tank. I'ts under the car.

 

or how about this...just forget a turbo setup and go with a supercharger for a domestic vehicle.


btw, RED please check you PMs

 

A guy in my CC has one of these on his Toyota Matrix. I live in Seattle(where it rains) and he has had no problems with it sucking up water. He has this weird K&N cover for the filter and he does just fine. He really doesn't have that much lag either. I will try and resize the pics and post them that i have

I saw this on 2 guy garage too... they explained that the lag is negated because of the displacement of the air that is already in the piping. I also thought it was weird that the filter was placed behind the wheel of a rear-wheeled car that could toss mud and slush onto it.

Second...I've seen that done to many cars. There's a Porsche 911 with a TT setup like that.

Also...I dislike this setup b/c not only is your turbo prone to damage from rocks and ish...(not a good street setup), but you ruin the underbody aerodynamics. 'course, most people just use that setup for dragging, so there are no real practical uses to this setup.

 

You guys have to take into consideration that lag is not always a bad thing. Take drag: if you develop 700hp@1200rpm, you're just gonna burn tires through the whole drag. However, if the power mostly comes in the high band of the rpm range, you can start without burning rubbers, and manage your rpm so you always shift when you know it's gonna be best for boost.

 

lol......what's rain JD?
this weather is awesome!

Yeah, this set-up isn't that uncommon on Mr2's (there's a few nice MR2's around here, one that looks like that). I really wanted one of those (it was either an Mr2, older Supra, or Tib).

JD, check your pm if you're still on.
