Biggest Turbos Possible?

[ynhrgt]

Just wondering whats the biggest turbos you could squeeze under an R32 GT-R bonnet?

I've seen the Turbonetics Y2K and Turbonetics Thumper turbos (100+mm inducer) and they look absolutely rediculous. I know a custom turbo manifold may have to be made for these heh.

BTW anybody care to enlighten me what top-mount turbos mean? and the benefits.

Im sure its been covered a million times before. But a top mount turbo is one which is mounted over the exhaust runners. A low mount obviously is under. Generally there is no benefit of having a top mount, however you can only go so big with a low mount as you run outta space for the turbo to fit. Run into clearance issues with engine mounts and all that caper.

High mount definetly has a more bling side to it if everything is polished and show like:) Low mount generally stays cooler as nissan designed it to go that way so it receives some air flow. High mount will cook just about everything within a 200mm radius of the hotside. ABS units are affected, wiring can also melt away...so on and so forth.

i know its not a R32 bay shot but you get the idea of how big a turbo you can fit in a small space if you really want it bad enough...
