Re: Rear mount turbo

Yes, they'll have what you need, they sell just about everything.

Re: Rear mount turbo

Nice job 130 mph and a 14.0 slip. J/K LOL. What was your PSI and your time slip?

11.0 on a 1.9 60'. That was on high boost (10psi).

I made a couple of low boost passes (5psi) at 11.5 and 11.7 and ran 120mph.

John, good to see you are still around.

Yeah I pop in about once or twice a year... :)

And refer locals over here from time to time.




Methanol is another good option.

I like an intercooler just because it's one less moving part and one less thing to tune.
(started out with nitrous on the v6, and had to swap jets, refill the tank, etc. so I'm kinda partial to a no-fuss solution now)

Re: Rear mount turbo

Good times with 10 PSI, plus a decent 60' too. My under the K kit will have both intercooler and progressive methanol kit so I can set it to come on at a certain PSI level, I want to run 10-12 PSI and have the methanol start spraying at 6 psi until whatever max is set at. AZ heat is a killer.

John, good to see you are still around.

CMBoyd was the first one among us to this set up for his bird. I forgot what issues he ran into, but it's pretty much straight forward and a sweet set up without the use of an intercooler.

But yeah, if you plan on going beyond 9psi you better look into intercoolers.

I was looking at STS set ups the other day and someone from there used just Methonol shots as an intercooler and did fine.

WOW... It is nice to be remembered! I never thought anyone would remember all that work I did! I have been hanging out at fullthrottle V6 for a while. I moved the turbo up front and changed it twice so far. This has been a work in progress for years!!!

I purchased a GrandamGT some time ago and perfected a new rear mount turbo system on it. Check it out.. complete with pics, dyno, and tune.

The rear mounts are now just as powerful as the front mounts if you use a twinscroll turbo and quickspool valve or wastegate.

Re: Rear mount turbo

well i think I'm probably going to go with the under K style rather than the rear mount now. One I dont want to have to deal with a scavage pump. Two If i want to IC it at some piont I dont want to have to pay for all that pipe again and then some. So i think im going to go with a MP t70, 36 or 42lb injectors, and a 8:1 FMU, then some HPtuners. Maybe a Greddy BOV and a tial WG. Any insight?

I feel ya... there are Pics of my setup on post# 5

The under K style is a much bigger PITA in my own opinion. That is why I have spent so much time working on the kit and changing the setups. I still have not connected my DP, and I spent alot of time re-routing hoses and wires all in the engine.
My plan is to notch the K-Member and add a 3 inch (1/2 circle) diameter pipe and then route a three inch pipe underneath. I would just buy an aftermarket K-member, but I have been trying to save $. If I had known back then what I know now then I would DEFINETLY have slapped my turbo on the back of the car and been driving by now. My only problem was finding adequate room for a turbo and muffler. It is simply too loud without a muffler for my tastes. A front mount has much more bling however!

The scavenge pump and intercooler are very simple, and I can't see why anyone would complain (with the exception of the noise). You really need an IC regardless of the setup.

No FMU needed if you get bigger injectors and tune for them.

Re: Rear mount turbo

If you get a TUb. K memeber and run oval piping the pipe won't come past the oil pan, mine sat about 1/2"-1" higher than the oil pan. This is 3" oval piping that ='s 2 1/4 in height. I will go back next week and have the down pipe done which I'm using 3" band clamps from round to oval so the system can be returned to stock in 30 mins if need be. I raised my car back up to stock height so I have no worries about hitting anything now.

Re: Rear mount turbo

with FI dont i need a 255 pump or a FMU to keep pressure? or will a stock replacement pump work, i put a new one in like a year ago, but i pulled the whole tank out like a dumb a$$.
- so what all more do you need with the rear mount kit vs. the under K, besides different pipe?

[ssms5411]

Re: Rear mount turbo

You'll need a walbro 255 fuel pump if your going to run 10 PSi + or just to be on the safe side, don't want the pump to fail under WOT= Boom. You can use reg. pipe for both types. I was just looking one day and saw the oval pipping and thought I could save another 3/4" but I had the Tub. K so I wanted to go that route since most of the heat would be under the car and not in the engine bay, So I'm trying to set it up for the 110-120 summer temps here. If your at stock height you could try notching the K like Teful Hyuden who was the first I believe and he runs under K with notched K member 20+ PSI , methanol with a GT40R turbo, at 18 PSI with methanol he dynoed 455 WRHP/ 500 TQ. His engine mods, 130LB valve springs and double roller timing chain also this is at a 5200 feet DA which if he was at sea level he would be flying.LOL But I'll see what mine will do , hope to be done by Dec. or late Jan. becuase of stuff going on.

Re: Rear mount turbo

so if i keep it at around 6 psi, its not necessary for the 255
