compared to what?!???!?!? other rear-mounted turbo systems :greddy:
no way.

i just cant see that spooling anything other than a t25 somewhat fast.

dude… just stop trying to win arguments… you’re quoting the companies site to prove someting… if i wanted to prove that i am the best… i’d link you to

but i’m not here to do that.
you CANNOT prove to ANYONE that a carlength of piping is going to be comparible to inches… end of story.
furthermore, ““We commend Squires Turbo Systems for the innovation and integrity of the concept it put forth, and we also appreciate the enormous potential it represents.”” means to me that they have nothing good to say about the performace compared to a normal system so to commend it for it’s ‘innovation and integrity of the concept’… meaning, it’s nothing worth talking about, just something new.
alright, I was not saying it’s better than a normal turbo… but for what it is, its not bad… christ
hows it work?
I say just leave the turbo up by the engine where it belongs
why are my posts being deleted, what the poop
x2
if it worked well then race cars would use 8000ft of piping too
you make zero sense
i think he was commenting on the fact that you use 3 times more piping for a rear mounted turbo as apposed to a front mounted ( i guess you would call it)
How’s that any different than a number of turbo porsche 911s over the past couple decades?
because porsche uses spliters to protect the turbo like most MR2 and NSX kits
it wouldnt be too bad if you made it yourself and just used low $ parts. That would be a super easy junkyard turbo setup.
can someone just tell me how it works as aposed to the normal location… and why its claimed to be better then the turbo in the stock location?
I would venture to guess better egt’s on the turbine side, lower engine compartment temps in general, just like that article said.
I’d also guess that having the turbo way back there gets the exhaust a chance to gather its shit together and provide a more usefull charge to spool the turbo rather than right at a header collector were exhaust pulses are less collected and more erratic.
There has to be more thermodynamics to it than you realize. I dont know enough about how air acts through channelled ducting to make further accurate claims on it. It doesn’t seem like sts knows either.
…and i want to know how you get oil out of the turbo back there and probably up hill back to the pan??
they have a patented oil system that looks pretty piss poor to me.
air moving over the exhaust wheel does spool the turbo but heat also plays a major role and you lose a shit load of heat by the time it gets back that far
True… and then if you have a catalytic converter before the turbo, that isn’t going to help it either.
yeah I never thought of that
