Rear Mount Turbo Charging

Recommended Posts

You could easily stick one in the cavity where the mufflers used to be on an e39...

Theres a lot of room up there.

should be able to route througe piping back beside the exhaust and youve already got the heat shield.

Also no room for muffler after the turbo.. would make things pretty loud.

Why would it be loud? I have no mufflers and it passes wof noise, a turbo would only quiet it down as the exhaust is spinning the turbo... Youd just have the extra turbine noise.

The rather long inlet tract is what gets me...

Plenty of lag to keep things exciting? :unsure:

That's what I was thinking. I thought the further or longer the piping, the worse the result. Where's crunchy?

I thought the turbo would of quietened it down a lot as well. Mine was quite loud with the downpipe ending at the gearbox bell housing. Loud enough to bring council and police attention to my house anyway, don't think it would of passed a wof at all lol...

The thought of having an oil feed pipe hanging down under the car like that kind of worries me. I was looking for a 1st April date on this article - but it seems to be kosher???

Looks very interesting, and id say the lag would be the same, I dont know too much about fluid dynamics but once the BOV is closed and as long as there are no leaks from the Turbo to the Intake Pressure should build at the same rate no mater what the length.....?

Do correct me if im wrong and explain, I like to know alot of useless information lol

most problems can be over come from what i can see,but its not optimal.

have toyed with the idea of a stock looking e34 540i with this sort of

setup.with the right housing,and not boosting the crap out of it, most lag issues should be minimal.

most folk think anything under 15psi isnt worth it, but with high compression,

a well tuned 10psi on the b40 would be plenty hand fulls.

but then what would i know,i only grow vegies

Yeah I've always had concerns about the long intake back to the engine... but apparently if done right it can work - I've seen a few of these setups floating around the internet.

I'd be silly enough to try it out one day given the right project.

My favourite car has 11lb, it's more than enough. S55 AMG.

Looks like it has a separate oil sump and an oil pump under there,

Just had a brain wave... Legal external wastegates! thats a bonus lol

Lol sadly the common 4cyl with TD05 and a 50mm wastegate does give them a bad name

External waste gates sound like ass anyway

I've always though so, I just like stock turbo engine sound, like an RS6 V8 or similar. Beautiful!

Seal the end of a straw and blow into it. Now try blowing into a sealed room from the key hole. You probably wont notice the change in pressure on the later.

And running low boost, so the gate is open when the car isn't moving fast...
