was that the program where they got 4 teams with those people movers, and they had like 6 weeks to fully customise them? a couple of teams went v8, and a couple went turbo? wasnt it mounted near the gearbox or something?

Just for interests' sake, the early HKS turbo kit for the gen1 CRX, had the turbo mounted at the bottom of the firewall, next to the steering rack..

Yeah, Rides wasnt it?

Yeah I remember seeing this show a few months ago. Would be a tiny turbo just to give the thing a bit more grunt im guessing.

They're more common than you might think - they actually make full kits for them for my car - example:

http://superchevy.com/technical/engines ... 411sc_sts/

or http://www.jlturbo.com/ - they even make kits for Hilux's

Main producer of them is www.ststurbo.com

easier than making a manifold

, just chuck it on at the end of the n/a headers

ive seen something on this too, aparantly lag wasnt to bad (which i found a little hard to get my head around) if i remember correctly.

A nice cheap and easy way to turbo

I've seen a FMIC on an SW20 before, but apparently that was really bad for lag.

by **B_giB** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 11:50 pm

I wonder why?

:roll:

So could you have 1 at the typical place then 1 at the rear to use all the wasted gas again. might help

deisels did this... those spitfire (plane) turbo deisel things didnt they?

exhaust manifold - > turbo exhaust housing -> downpipe -> turbo exhaust housing -> downpipe etc

imagine the force required to get them both up to full spool!
