Anybody tried the modification of turning the turbo 90 degrees so that the air inlet path for the turbo is on the left hand side rather than front entry and routing under the inlet manifold. There has to be lots of restiction in the original setup and a direct feed, full size 72mm air inlet coming in to the turbo would prove to be less restrictive. Obviously the up pipe flange on the turbo would have to be rotated 90 degrees to achieve this and the exhaust outlet of the turbo would be in a different place, anybody tried this yet?

Edited to make sense I think.....Nope, Second time lucky!

Take a look at the JUN Super Lemon WRX, with the direct air feed I describe. 580 HP mean machine! Intercooler feed pipe would need drastic relocation!

Sorry, don't know how to make it clicky!

 

clicky

only 66lbft less than mine!

 

Adam Thanks for the clicky, how to do it would be nice! and I'm interested to hear more about your car specs....mail if you don't want to broadcast it! LOL

 

that spec would cost over 10k easy..

Like throttle cable arrangement..

I reckon I could do better (You'll have to wait )

Adam, impressive graphs, pity about the big bang at the end though.....

Estimated time of arrival for Adam 2?

4 weeks on engine.

after 18 months off the road I have put an sti 3 engine in, and am now in no hurry to get that engine until I am used to 300bhp again.

 

Did either of you go down the route of a radical turbo position like the Jun car or are we still on standard fitment / position ? I have one of the new APS up pipes put I'm going to chop it to get things where i want them. Probably have to get WUNOFF to fabricate me a new down pipe to match.....

 

my turbo is not in the standard location.

it is nothing like that one, it has been rotated through about 70 degrees so that the compressor outlet flows under the manifold to a conventional front mount, and the air intake now point directly at the offside corner with a 6 inch straight run to an air filter.

 

Any particular reason for the 70 degrees Adam or does it just make life easier all round for all the intake/charge/exhaust pipework routing doing at that angle rather than 90 degrees?

 

90 degrees was too far 60 degrees wasnt far enough.

Nothing special about it, its just the angle I ended up with so that the plumbing would fit together.

Its not an accurate 70 degrees its just a rough guess from memory.

it could have been 64 degrees. who knows?

 

Good to know if its going to make life easier when i start cutting pipes
