Jalien Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 been researching diy junkyard turbo builds. also, im thinking of remote placement to the rear. i'm quite capable of fabbing stuff, so please dont tell me that it'll be a bitch to do --so, i'm only looking for 400rwhp which means maybe 450fwhp. i would like my boost to peak around 3.5k. the car is drift intended.

Det_Riot Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Is there a question? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 what he said ^^^. not that it can't be done, or i'm poo-pooing the idea of remote mounted turbos, but it just seems like more work for less gain. typically, they take longer to spoil because you're losing heat through the extra piping. why not just flip the headers so they face up and towards the front and weld a turbo mount flange right on it and mount the turbo(s) that way. seems to be the most common way junkyard diy turbo guys do it. now if your motivation is to be different, then go for it. rock those remote mounts. i'll be quite interested in the build for sure.

Forcefedhatch Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I thought of a remote mount for sleeper status.. But it's not easy to tuck a 76 awaySent from my iPhone using TapatalkBut you will need to fab a scavenger setup for oil return, as well as a seperate reservoir for oil to sump to so it still does have a gravity return setup.. If not you'll be chewing oil seals and bearings up almost daily..Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalien Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks for the replies, guys. oh yea, there was a question--is turbo size adequate for the power i want? STSTurbo.com they offer remote mount turbo kits. below is a 5thgen stang. here is a sn95 build. Ill go ahead and ask just cause 50 others are going to if its not asked now.Why remote mount?!? There is plenty of room under our hoods for routing the piping and putting a large enough turbo...............This message courtesy of crapatalk!heat. turbo timer. some articles and builds i read about requires remote battery and other engine element relocations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 My setup was fine, no relocation of anything, just fab it around your needs.. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkBut if your deadest on remote mount, you'll need a pretty small turbine housing, heat is dissipated quite a bit by the time it reaches the rear of the car, turbos rely on the expansion of air molecules when heated to make them more efficient, turbo blankets serve two purposes as an example of how the heat helps, to keep heat in, and also away from other engine vital components aka fuel lines lolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01yellercobra Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I installed a Hellion single turbo on a 97 GT. Only thing we moved was the CCRM. And that was a matter of shifting it up one bolt hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineedav8 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Dont many need to run a tubular k member for modulars with a single? That would be one way to get away from it or maybe to go crazy and evenly distribute weight Sent from the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of one kit that can be run with a stock K, but it needed a kot of other things moved like the fuse block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
