Some of you may have read the post I posted sometime ago about why not mount the turbo under the car. Well Its mounted and just have the intake tubing and intercooler to fabricate. I sent Justin some pics I think he has some web space to host the pics on. When he reads this he can post the pics. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

 

id like to see those pics.

 

Just got home from work, uploading them now! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

In case that site excedes it's allocated data transfer limit I will put them up on a couple other sites. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

well damn, it does fit under there <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

What size turbo is it again??

I wanna see you put a T76 under there <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

 

Sweet. I saw a Hugger Orange 1st gen with a huge turbo where the passenger seat should have been once <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

 

added one more pic (ls1turbo08.jpg)

 

That looks SWEET Darren! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> I want to go for a ride when it is all done. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

 

wow, i'm impressed so far.. good luck with the rest.. thats a loooong way for the air to get back to the throttle body...

mounting intercooler under car possibly?

 

More pics are up! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Well its a T70 looking at all the spec on this turbo it is capabled of supporting 600 plus hp. just depends on what boost pressure your engine can take.


see chart below for info. This turbo is capable of putting out 84lbs of air per min.
If the engine could handle 25lb of boost with a intercooler efficency of 75% it would make 900hp. That gets me thinking of the old days! Now let me see Hum 6.0 liter block, steel 6.0 heads, get the block "o'ring. Stud it bottom and top. Alluminum manifold, 25 psi of boost. Humm Dam! how do I get so off track?

WOW! That is pretty impressive! I can't wait to see the intake plumbing. Think there will be any problems with the excessive length from the compressor to the throttle body?
Nice. <img src="graemlins/formula.gif" border="0" alt="[Pontiac]" />

 

all that loooooooooooooooong piping is bound to introduce some lag, and the turbo itself is kind of in a vulnerable position...
Still, FWIW, it's original thinking

 

any updates on this ?thing?

What kind of pumps are you going to use for the oil <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Should be interesting if they did it but you will have to pump the oil back to the pan and have to have one serious pump to get it to the turbo.

Has the idea been scrapped?

 

Yeah, I have wondered about this project on and off for the last 11 months...........

 

I believe they went a different route with the car.

Longer tubing will not and can not put lag into the system

Keep in mind that a lot of factors come into play when talking about lag but in general I think all that extra tubing will hinder the performance of the turbo.

Why? Longer tubing introduces more friction into the system. Especially with larger diameter tubing as it exposes more surface area. Bends also introduce parasitic losses into duct flow. Because there is more ducting there is a larger volume of air that the turbo has to push. This will also affect its performance. These are proven empirical facts.
