i have a 99 civic si and im planning on getting it boosted. i have this idea that i can put the turbo in the back of the car where the muffler is located and the intercooler pipin to the front but i might have to run 11 psi so by the time the air reachs the intake manfold it would prob be around 7 psi.

dont know if this would work and if it does work, the turbo lag would be bad, but smaller pipes to the turbo would increase the air speed.

just let me know what you think.

it just like this but on a civic

Im sorry...but, what?

 

 

This cant be good...

 

i saw this on a type-r once in a magazine. i forgot the company but supposedly the guys said they experienced little lag. it can be done but whats the point. save your money on all that extra piping and put the turbo in the front. but if you like the challenge then i say go for it. good luck let us know if you ever get it done.

 

Yeah I saw the it on a yellow type r teg, kinda seems like a waste of money unless you want to be sneeky or something....

 

This thread has got to be some kind of joke right?

 

i thought so at first .. that car in the link looks pretty cool tho .. i really don't know why you wouldnt want your turbo in ur engine bay .. it can get f'ed up under your car like that if you bottom out

 

whats your reason for positioning the turbo there

 

the horsepower tv corvette , i live how the downpipe just curves out and looks like a factory tip lol


ps this was on a new ls7 corvette haha

 

You're thinking of a remote mounted turbo.
