with a small turbo (t3) or smaller
can any boost level be achieved
say even 1psi..????

please dont flame im just curious.!!

 

I don't see why not. Im not a turbo expert, but you are putting a load on the engine when you are in reverse, so the turbo is bound to spool a bit. Its probably not safe though.

 

Yes its been done by me, accidently while I was reversing out from my driveway...I pushed a little too hard on the gas and it reversed out pretty fast! Making that funny reverse/whining noise that we all hear And I stopped and it was like "Psshhhh". Pretty funny stuff.

 

the answer is yes!!!!


it is freak'n nuts!!!! i did it! hahahahha

your exhaust direction doesnt change so it does and did work

 

well in that case.......find yourself a nice BIG parking lot......put the car in reverse with your big bad turbo ready.....drop the hammer and cut the wheel to one side......wah la the funniest donuts u will ever make.....hahaha

 

maybe we should drag race like that. instant RWD.

 

LOL, 30mph drag race

 

not only rear wheel drive, rear engine as well

 

Someone should try installing the engine 180 degrees rotated so that he can have 1 gear going forward and 5 gears in reverse! Gotta hold the steering wheel really steady when you have rear engine, rear wheel drive, rear wheel steering!

 

yes you can, I boosted what felt like 10psi while being chased last year....scary as f**k I must add!

 

You were being chased in reverse. You must have been scared for you life or somthin.

 

Could you elaborate on that?!

 

lol

 

That must be hilarious to hear your blow off valve in reverse! Haha. I gotta try that and tape it.

 

interesting..
