Sweet baby Jesus. Is that as effective Nigel? I mean as the setups I'm used to seeing.

Is that really where the turbo is...somebody was putting it there on their z build on stanceworks and then smashed it going down the street

Looks like it would help prevent heat soaking from the engine bay. I want to see in action. Doesn't that setup let you use your stock manifold too?

My ideal would be to run 2 small ball bearing turbos or a very responsive single unit. I dont like the rear mount route because there is no room under the car to run the IC piping below the body and I hate having the intake filter down there too.

This is all very general brainstorming. I might not even go this route as there are other things I will have to address first but its great to get the gears going in my head....Extra room behind headlight and behind the bumper....hmmmm haha

Trucks have been using that method for quite a while

Supposed to increase cooling by a bunch but sema hit it on the dot with our lowered cars lol

Ryan, there is a e36 m3 that castro did where the turbo is under the car but on the passenger side front. Check that one out. I'm not sure if the LS engine has room for it but it looks awesome and it's a sleeper if it wasn't for the giant inter cooler up front

Kali parking at the attic sucks!!!

I dont need to hide it. I have enough room on the front passenger side put it. I dont want to put it down low in case i go of the road course for some reason.

I also had alot of oiling issues with my bottom mount in my e36 widebody before. I had to make a sump system for it

lol, I passed by for like 15 minutes. I parked then i saw that it was nothing but lesser quality jdms so I decided to leave. I used to like this meet because they had great quality JDMs and VIP cars but now its changed. It really bugs me when the first thing out of someones mouth is "How fast is it on the quarter?"

I have to disclaim that I have no problem with lesser quality jdms, I just don't choose to go to their meets because it usually involves illegal street racing and I don't need to be around that shenanigans...

I need response in a turbo, regardless of what people say, i feel that remote mount turbos create lag.

[einstein57]

When you calculate the delta time based on the volumetric flow rate of the gases your talking fractions of a second. But i know how important that is to your 1/4 mile times. lol

^lulz

if I do end up turboing then its worth showing off haha..
