Re: Del Sol of Death (VTEC VX)

it's dry sumped, so it's ok for it to be on it's side, right?? I don't see why that would matter for a d drag car. Maybe an auto-x car for lower center of gravity

Look how the motor is positioned in front of the tires. Probably did it to place as much weight as possible on the front of the car. With the motor laying down they can still fit the front end on...

Kamin...it's a dry-sump engine...it's ok for it to be like that. look at the placement of the turbo and the way the piping bends...it seems to fit perfectly in the nose of the car. then again...it could be that they just loosened the piping around the intake manifold and let the turbo chill there.
