Rear Turbo Set up

[Loco64670]

On A TV Show On Speed. I Saw Them Do A Rear Turbo Set UP On A SS Camaro. Do You Think This Setup Would Be Good On Our Accords Since They Sit Higher Than The Stock Camaro? I Meant Of Course It Would Have To Be A Custom Job, But Atleast we Get To Save our A/C., Especially In The South Where I Reside. And Is It Turbo Setup For The CB7 Where You Actually Get To Keep Your A/C?

u can still keep ur a/c for the dsm setup u know

[Loco64670]

you mean a rear motor/rwd setup?

or are you talking about locating the turbo near the intake manifold....either is a waste of time unless you're doing it to prove a point.....

No I Mean To Place The Turbo In The Rear Of The Car By The Muffler. To Understand Where I Come From You Have To Have Seen The Episode Of Two Guys Garage On Speed TV. They Put The Turbo On The Back Of The Car, 2000+ Camaro SS, Near The Muffler. How They Did It I Don't Know, But It Seemed To Be A Good Idea, and the numbers and Little Turbo Lag They Received Was Pretty Decent. It Was A Kit They Make For The Camaro It Wasn't A Custom One.

this is actually a viable way to setup a turbo...it DOES work, however it should only be used in situations where a typical turbo set up is just not able to fit. there are plenty of more efficient ways to turbo a cb7.

Is this what you are talking about? If so I brought it up earlier?

There are SOOO many reasons that it wouldnt work. Turbo lag is caused when the velocity of exhaust gasses is not high enough in order to quickly spin the turbine. Putting the turbo in a place where the exaust velocity is extremely low would mean that it would likely never spool. Also any air would have to travel through an additional 10 feet of piping. There are just too many reasons it is impossible. Basically, dont even consider it, file this with the electric supercharger, and that tornado thing people put in their intake tubes.

quote from the last post....most of that is not true. its not just exhaust velocity that decreases spool time (technicly not "Lag", its called "boost threshold") the exhaust gas would have enough pressure/velocity/heat to spin a turbo located at the back of the car with no problem. as for the intercooler pipes, length really isnt an issue, number of bends is an issue. but intercooler pipes could wrap around the car and still you wouldnt notice much differece. mabye a bit of pressure loss. on a final note..this should in NO way be catagorized with the tornado and electric supercharger...the rear mounted turbo may not be as efficient as a typical turbo setup. but its not as bad as those too peice of junk products.

overall id say stick with a typical turbo setup on a cb7. there is no reason to use a rear mounted turbo, DSM manifolds are cheap and easy. and there is ample room for everything you need. these should be used as a LAST resort.

Yes This Is Exactly What I Was Talking About, I Guess I Should Have Done A Search, But I Didn't Think This Was Something That Had Came Up Yet.

not to mention the piping would be ridiculous, but oil lines.

you'd need an extra pump to get the oil there and back

yup, the camaro has one of those..
