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.

Tight squeeze!

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.

Not to mention water from puddles etc.

True, sucking water is not a good idea.

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.

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.

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.

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.

      I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3

      I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
