i was wondering if there was a way to take my turbo and hide it at the end of my exhaust or right b4 my muffler....i'd seen it done on RX-7's but not on a civic/del sol??

 

my buddy has that done on his ss camaro, its actually a complete kit u can buy. i was wondering also if any1 has done this on a honda yet....would be very shady

 

it can be done but you better have an extra grand or so in cash to do it.

not to metion bottoming out on stuff and breaking it or scraping it on the ground. its not worth the trouble so people cant see it but hey they will hear the blow off valve

oh yeah, dumb idea and waste of money

 

sleeper from hell....see a stock header and hear the BOV confuse ALOT of peeps

 

How would you hide it? On Camaro's everyone driving behind you can see it and steal it in 5 minutes with a socket wrench.

 

Not to mention the whole intercooler issue.

 

STS Turbo is the company that makes the rear mounted kit for the Camaro and they are curently in the process of making a kit for the Civic and the Integra Type R.

 

sounds like way to long of restrictive piping for my liking

 

Heres a link http://www.ststurbo.com/acura___honda

 

STS has a remote mount turbo kit.

just an idea i had in my head... :S

 

I was at the track like 2 months ago and saw a white eg6 with a turbo h22a, I checked it out and his turbo was in the back near the muffler, I thought it was nuts. He has a shop and the website is http://www.allstreetperformance.com

 

actually it isn't a bad idea at all...the guinnea pigs for the sts set up have been making very impressive numbers!!! and the intercooler is not a issue at all....*** the air travels from the turbo all the way to the front of the car it is cooled down enough to run effectively and efficiently STS gets a from me.

 

it was 1st done on a truck

 

odd.

 

haha :D

 

can you say "turbo lag"?
interesting idea
would involve a lot of piping

If you read the article in I think Honda Tuning or some magazine, there isn't much turbo lag. The fins on the turbine are designed to minimize turbo lag. I'm worried about the electric oil pump going out.
