Rear Mounted Turbo (scratch build)

WarmAndSCSI · 08-24-2010, 02:16 PM

I can't wait to see this go from inception to a final product. It's gonna be awesome.

I would advise against using methanol injection to achieve more power unless your intake plenum is perfectly balanced. Too much risk in uneven methanol distribution, especially with 6 cylinder to distribute to. Direct port methanol injection, however... hmmm

This is definitely the way to go if you're gonna do it

Coolingmist makes a really nice direct port kit with a progressive controller.

I'm just curious to see when boost starts to build...

Aren't rear mounted turbo's known for having huge lag? Sounds like fun though.

Yes.

If significant boost comes on before 4.5 K I will be impressed...

i put an sts kit on my buddies 350z and while adjusting his boost control we could make over 10psi by 4500. as soon as you hit 4000 there was good boost. besides the gearing and redline on these cars means that spool at 4000 will let you let you hold boost for a 1/4 mile run due to the gearing and high redline.
