has anyone thought abut this they have a universal turbo that mounts on the rear of the car! But ive just been thinking about the water intake into the engine that could be a problem but i assune thats looked after. But i wonder how much boost it could give a Lancer. The car sit high even with the lower springs from RRM i just wonder hmm. I just might investigate further.
Understand Oh I know RRM is working on turbos for both i was just wondering if anyone had done it to see thats all. Besides the lit costs three grand and no piping included so i can see why its not tried. I myself cant wait to hear the new turbo it will be awhile before i can get on maybe after i get back from the gulf again. Later
??? Do you mean mounted in the trunk are or do you mean near the firewall? No more than 10. The pistons on the 4b11 have a pretty high compression for, what looks like the evo turbo, rrm is creating.
postion Hey Bras goto ststuro.com all you pro tuners might unferstand it better from the pics. To me it looks like its actually mounted on the exhaust and most definitly past the fire wall. It looks like its plummed directly into exhaust. Yep it is directly mounted to exhaust and reuses exhaust. It seems to be desinded more for GM vars and trucks. But it sure looks interesting.
Re: postion I believe with remote turbo systems u get more of a lag and need a higher boost pressure to make the same HP as an underhood turbo system with less PSI, but the underhood engine temps will obviously be lower on a remote turbo system. I will research this further, a while ago someone on Club3G.com was gonna try out a remote turbo kit on his 3rd Gen Eclipse.....
If you read the info on their page they say there isnt lag at all, it usually maintains 2 psi i think they said i dont have the page up and typing from memory which is bad on this old guy lol. But if you check out the vids they sure sound nice. The sad part is with the universial you havr to buy all the piping seperate. another 500 to 600 buck depending on the quality of the pipe or polish. Plus you either have to have a friend with a welder or a decent shop. Its nice that i have both heheheh.
I found 2 vids on it here they are from STS site on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMB14OOfgss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B2mwgsvikY I hope this can explain it a bit more. Hell the nice thing is it bolts onto exhaust and hardly no mod to the engine heheh im thinkin save a shit on the warranty. I know as soon as the hook it up it would ne WTF where did the extra horse power come from and go lol.
Agree I myself hate where they place the air filter. I would be worried everytime it rained or drove through a puddle lol. We have a lot of puddles around here when it rains hell we get rivers lol. But i think it would be awesome just to try it. I just might but I'll have to start saving now. But you know it would be so cool to have the first turbo on here lol.
Re: Agree Ya I agree, the placement of the filter sucks, I havnt looked at the back underside of my car I wonder if there would be enough room to curve the filter up high enough so it would be more of a safeguard of puddles and rain. Or u could just save up and get a custom made kit before the RRM kit/EVO comes out so u can have the 1st turbo :twisted:
Hell yeah i am actually thinking of doing it lol. but it will have to wait just a bit. BTW when does RRM figure their turbo kits will be out? anyone
According to the pic, I dont really see how you can the correct boost, tune and the real performance of the turbo. It is different. It does sound great but, isnt a turbo used for a quicker acceleration?! Plus that is alot of piping, IMO that there is some type of pressure lost right there. I agree with you guys about the cai, when water enters into, there goes the turbo bcuz oil and water dont mix. Also I dont see how air would enter from the back? A+ for imagination. According to the site, it works. Maybe for me, its a little tough to imagine it working bcuz my turbocharged cars (Chrysler Conquest, Mitsu Eclipse, Ford Mustang SVO) were always in the engine bay. Thanks for the info.
I agree Im only used to the conventional in bay turbo kit, but this would be a good options for vehicles that want a little extra oomph and dont have room in the engine bay or has poor ventilation under the hood.
IMO, wont the exhaust gases become a little cooler as it reaches that far into the exhaust? I can only imagine how much lag you would get but they claim no lag. Even sequential twin turbos (3g rx7) had lag. It is very interesting tho.
I actually saw and heard this thing up close!!!! This system is so wicked!!!! The owner told me how it works and saw it up close. He said they do a certain amount of boost that will not "hurt" the car and give an easy 50-60 hp. It is something to really consider. It is something really WICKED!!!
Actually bras i am ordering the kit when i get back in June. Here is the email i got on cost for the different level of kits. mike, Thank you for your interest in Squires Turbo Systems. Even though we do not offer a true "bolt-on" system for your specific application, we do offer an easily customizeable Universal Kit. Our Universal Kit applications experience the same amazing benefits and horsepower improvement results as our bolt-on systems. I feel strongly that one of our Universal Kit options will work well for your specific application. Please allow me to explain a few of the details regarding our three Universal Kit options - Stage I, Stage II, and Stage III. First, please keep in mind that the difference between the three Stage options is the "completeness" of the kit. It does not refer in any way to the amount of horsepower that the kit can create. For example, if you prefer to use your own clamps, hoses, and other basic install parts, you would probably just purchase a Stage I kit. If you would like to purchase everything needed for the system install (except the intake and exhaust tubing that must be customized to your application), then you would purchase a Stage III kit. The details of what is included in each Stage are shown below: Universal Stage I - $1995 MSRP Turbo (application specific) Wastegate, 38mm Turbo Flange Kit Bolt Kit Brass Kit Oil Pump Oil Check Valve Instruction Manual Universal Stage II - $2495 MSRP Turbo (application specific) Wastegate, 38mm Wastegate Pipe Wiring Harness Air Filter Dry-charger Hose Kit Silicone Kit Clamp Kit Turbo Flange Kit Bolt Kit Brass Kit Oil Pump Oil Check Valve Instruction Manual Universal Stage III - $2995 MSRP Turbo (application specific) Wastegate, 38mm Wastegate Pipe Wiring Harness Silicone Kit Air Filter Dry-charger Hose Kit Clamp Kit Turbo Flange Kit Bolt Kit Brass Kit Oil Pump Oil Check Valve Pipe Kit PCV System Pressure Switch Instruction Manual Please note that the turbo which is included with your Universal Kit will be sized specifically for your application and horsepower goals. For more detailed information about the STS Universal Kit, please feel free to call or email me any time. Thanks, Vernon Hills RTM vhills@ststurbo.com www.ststurbo.com . I dont thik that there is a fuel managment system included but i figure they sell those too. So bras what did you hear the turbo on anyway a Vette or viper lol.
^ One was on an auto late model Camaro SS and the other was a late model Silverado 1500. I saw the set up on the truck and just absolutely blew my mind. It had a huge a$$ bov and wastegate, piping throughout the undercarriage, fmic and I believe a garrett. That truck will be at SEMA. The Camaro was just straight WICKED, the spooling and the phssssssssssh was an instant semi!!!! Good luck with that project and of course you HAVE to post pics-TheGoderator has spoken, lol,j/k.
