He went through a lot of effort to get it together though, so I wish him luck acheiving whatever it is he's going for.
    I believe he's getting rid of whatever is in the engine bay. I only scanned through it but it looked like a supercharger or something similar. I'm sure if this guy wanted to he could make it withstand more than 21 psi anyways. I mean, look at what he's doing now. He's got a lot of time on his hands but it's time well spent.

      21 PSI if his engine is built which it probably is since he was running over 500 HP & TQ, his turbos could go 30-40 PSI if he wanted, his car is a cobra or a gt so it is a V8. I just think that where there located would be a pain to track down problems and heat issues.

            its a built 4v motor, if i had to guess im sure it can hold well more than 21psi, F1's arent a joke, if the motor isnt built to take it it wouldnt last 16k miles.

              I agree. That's not the best way to go. Plus we know remote turbos are not the best compare to conventional setup.

              Though I give him an "A" for creativity.

                I know those superchargers can run up to like 38LBS of boost but it works the chargers hard where a turbo would be loving it , so I would imagine hes going to be running between 30-40 PSi, if he was at 500 HP before probably running 20 PSI + with the F1 or so, so hes looking to run some higher boost with the turbos and more HP. Here I am just looking for maybe around 12-15 PSI max and 350-400 WRHP.LOL

                  I certainly hope he's planning on selling the idea, or at least getting a job somewhere with the idea. It really would seem like a lot of spinning and no forward motion on the alternative.

                    Are we aiming low or.. just being conservative? Gas mileage is nice too.. but so is power. I don't think I could handle too much.
