adznight Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I've seen it a lot, it's pretty common with Corvette's. It's to do with engine bay size restriction. I've seen them mounted just near the transmission on newer Corvette's. Dunno how it would go with response though but maybe that HUGE V8 makes up for the loss.

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Interesting. The Yanks got some different ideas. I noticed the car does not have an intercooler. So the way I see it, by installing the turbo under the car on the outside, (Cold) air can easily get to the turbo. Also since the turbo is exposed to the outside air, the turbo housing can act as the intercooler. Only down fall is if the car is too low, something might hit the turbo and the pod will suck in a lot of dirt and shit from the ground.

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) Not to mention water from puddles etc. True, sucking water is not a good idea. funny because the link you posted says they are certified and legal in some of the usa states...thats pretty cool..epa would have a field day with that here no mufflers, external gate, yet its ok for US emissions..sucks to be us And the USA were not allow to import the R34 GTR because it did not meet the USA emission test... Here is a Mustang with a similar application, air cooled turbo.

RB26TTVL Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Aren't turbo's 'muffling devices'? Heard that somewhere along the line.. Of course, a complete lack of Cat Conv is a problem.

Ant97GTR Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Yep a tuning company over in the ol' US of A has been doing this to BMW's for ages. They were also placing the turbos right at the back of the car. When I questioned the lag of such a setup it was pointed out to me that as there is almost a constant flow of exhaust gases to turn the turbo it is almost constantly providing boost and hence the lag wouldn't be as noticable as you would think. I wasn't entirely convinced but it does make sense. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/223669-rear-mounted-turbo/#findComment-3940643 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't entirely convinced but it does make sense. bah, i would have thought that it would face the same problems in terms of response as any other turbo. The big difference being that it has to pressurize an extra 2.5m of pipe before entering the inlet.

Phatboy Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 If u got pulled over here with that setup because the officer thought you had illegally turbo'd your Excel or something you could pop the hood and say "Look, no turbos!" He wouldn't be able to see them either without a hoist if it's in the midde of the underbody.
