Way to be the guinea pig! Good Luck, I hope it goes well!
|
I can't wait to see this! I considered it but I can't do with the car down for a long period of time.
|
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 |
Good luck with it man!!
|
Nice! Hey, I know someone from the UK who has a couple of blown VR38 engines. I offered to buy one of the intake collectors. He said "name your price," so I had it shipped to Chris@FsP. Perhaps you can get some parts off the motor like fuel injectors, etc.

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.

Good read there.
|
here is a previous set-up i did about 4 years ago...

looks good. So you think 3500. Will that including everything?
|
wow.. very interesting. They are very popular among 'vette owner I think.
Question, how can one drive in rain or water 4-6"? (my area constantly floods. I'm just curious) |
Have you guys seen the vids of a blue IS-F with Twin Rear Mounted Turbos? It's a bit raspy.
[EDIT] Ninja edit... thanks AK! |

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.
|
Eh, derisive responses and gainsaying accepted -- I hope it works out and turns out to be a good option to consider.
I generally see these set ups making very uneven power, and therefore being preferable for drag racing over daily driving, but I've been wrong before... |
on that other setup i reached full boost @3800 rpm (12psi).which the motor was smaller, i am torn between selling my gears or going back stock. With my 8k shift point and stock gears... man are they going to be long....i was kinda thinking to help off-set the boost response it would be a good idea to keep the agressive gearing, but traction will be an issue when boost comes in.
|
My buddy had a rear mount on his 3.8 camaro. Not too shitty. Ended up scrapping it for a built LS1 :tup:
|
I seen a Porsche once with rear mounted turbo. It was awesome....:tup:
Really though good luck, im thinking of going this route myself. |
TURBO is on order now...woohoo!!
|
awesome, another groundbreaking move by jnaut. I can't wait to see the results.

okay how bout a front mount turbo on a porsche that doesn't look like old people threw up all over it.
|
I park next to a panamera both at home and at work. Its actually a beautiful car. I would buy one.
|
The panamera is sick, in person....
|
I've seen one IMO porsche could have done better. Look at the new 4 door aston or the quatraporte
