Remote turbo setup????

[MacMan]

I want to install a remote turbo system, ive got some questions- as I'm not a professional mechanic.

1.what are the Pros and Cons of a setup like this.?

2.Is a twin turbo setup posible with this setup?(one in front, and one in the back)

3.how much can i boost??

4.IS IT JUST AS EFFICENT as the regular setup?? ...

here are some pix of some remote system.....

You are retarded.

[ScOrTGtC]

wont work for 4 banger at all.. and you wont be able to spool the turbo at all.. too far.. only cars that can do that is ...either v6 or v8..

yea dude, do a dual t3 remote turbo setup on your 1.8 liter.

[atomicEGT]

You can spool like 60 psi with twin 76mm turbos that way.

Forealsies.

I think I'm going to go electrocute myself now

Works good on Crovettes. (as pictured)

i have a remote turbo setup


my turbo sits in my closet but i can feel it making me faster! how that for remote?

[jay]

damn I hadn't thought of that! I have a remote mount TRIPLE turbo rig AND a single manifild mount for a total QUAD turbo twin T3/1 Vj20/1 VJ23 setup! The one in the garage help it spool faster I'm just sure of it.

mine is so remote it's in another country right now hard to keep the egt's up

Mines remote.....remotely in my engine bay where it belongs. Truthfully I saw this before and wondered why anyone would do it. I mean if it rains you shouldn't drive it. Snow....forget that. When could you drive it and be safe. Think of the road debree(sp) that gets kicked up.

every single post besides the first one qualifies you as a jackass.

each & every one of your assumptions was never put into question form.
he asked if it could be done. didn't specify what type or size turbo.

quit being jackasses & give some positive feedback.

to answer the original question.
Yes it can be done.
you will have to feed/circulate pressurized [x psi] to the turbo with an external oil pump.
piping will reduce PSI a few pounds.
exhaust gases are cooler. but can be kept somewhat warm through ceramic coatings & or exhaust wrapping.
water cooling will be similar to the oil.


anyone who criticizes you for doing it should F off, & give you more motivation to do it.

a dual turbo system could be run in enlarging turbos as well. but that would get mighty complicated.

a positive about this can allow you to run a header in sense of Na application retaining more efficient exhaust flow similar to that of a normal NA.
depending on turbo size. linear powerband of this system would be amazing.

Don't encourage him.

The only reason for running a remote turbo setup is when underhood space is at a premium, say, in a Corvette or F-body. These cars have plenty of off-boost torque to minimize the terrible boost lag that you get with this setup.

In a car like ours, where there is plenty of space for a conventional turbo setup, and the torque of a lawn mower, there is NO reason to use a remote mount turbo setup.

[me19875]

the only time a remote turbo setup should even be considered is if you have a v8. or maybe a fatty v6. but even then, usually your money is better spent on bolt ons, a supercharger, or a standard turbo setup.

there's a reason why remote mount turbo's aren't very popular.

So kitty can pretty much troll 80% of the threads he posts in yet we are jackass's?

and my bad for not realizing this was a serious post, the multiple punctuations per sentence, multiple emoticons and general lack of structure or prior research in the original post thru me off
