err. how you mean?.. generally its in the middle

[trdfxgt]

sorry the direction the down pipe faces

[IH8TEC]

different people do it diffent way, i did mine with the compressor on the drivers side, this was convenient as i brought bazdas old setup of piping and intercooler. but i have seen like action dans, he made his over more with dump pipe on drivers side, and he could still keep air con etc. whereas i have ditched mine

basically it's what suites you, and what is gona be the easiest way to run piping in your car.

yea what evers easiest ; basically the side that has more room.

the conversions i do i prefer to face the intake to the front of engine and exhaust towards gearbox.

im also thinking of where ill put the air filter if i put the down pipe facing the gear box

[IH8TEC]

in front of the drivers wheel in inside the bumper, cut a whole in the black plastic inner guard, and sit it in there

[Bazda]

this is where my air filter sits


and this is how the turbo sits

yeah and what happens when you try boosting to hard around a corner in a frontwheel drive sleging.
really front wheel drive turbos are a traction nitemare , why id love to have a turbo bzr levin thats what i own but turboing it is stupid buy a turbo car like a s15 silvia and away you go.thats my opion anyway disagree all you want.

and disagree many will, stick to ur puss 20v.

If you're boosting around a corner, no matter what you are in, it will be a bit of fun.

Easy enough to handle in a fwd if you know what you are doing.

A well setup turbo fwd is all good.

ok thanks guys and what about oil coolers ?? does everyone run them in there turbo applications ? how do you fit them ??


also cevans this is for a track race car it has race tyres race suspension a trd lsd now power may just be a little scary for you but when its ready in a few months lets take em to taupo and just see what a useless idea turbo charging a fwd is ??

[IH8TEC]

yeah i am, barry was, and will be, you can basically buy a kit, i got mine specifically made for my car because of where my turbo sits, but basically, have a block where the filter goes, run lines to another block where the filter mounts, then i've got mine going through to an oil cooler after the filter. and back to the one on the block.

hope not too confusing

[trdfxgt]

cool so are you saying you have one of those remote filter kits and 1 hose runs from the block to the filter then a hose from the filter to a oil cooler then a hose back to the block ???

[Bazda]

yep thats how it works.

thats why when u boost hard around a corner your not meant to use full throttle unless ur an idiot and think your car can go round corners full throttle. I'll just take my F1 car out for a drive and floor it when i get to a corner.
