Yeah, and venting the hood also helps reduce temps in there... But I think there could be a lot of benefits to a remote mount system, and I think the temperature under the hood would be one of them.

I'm really excited to see some numbers for this kit. Weren't we supposed to see them on monday? Wheres Subzero for us to flame for a lack of Dynos and slips.

 

What you aren't considering is the fact the actual engine block puts out more heat than a properly wrapped/blanketed turbo. Seriously, my intake piping only gets hot due to the fact that it's bolted at one point to the engine block...

The whole "engine bay heat" argument is a bit overrated if you ask me...

 

Probably sold his computer to pay for bigger wheels to fill up his widebody kit...

 

I may have found a cheap alternative

I have caused more damage than good already. I am just out most of the time enjoying my car

 

I didn't have the patience to go through the 22 pages, so just in case, this is what it looks like!!!



No, not my car.

 

so still no new info..........we gotta wait on Julian and the crew

 

He said that was a 60-1 turbo? It may just be the angle or the fact that its hard to reference size back there, but it looks smaller to me.

I wonder how this setup would change with the addition of an aftermarket or custom y-pipe and midpipe and/or headers? I'm guessing it would slow spool but make a little more peak power. Then again, I'm not sure if the tradeoff would even be worth it (kinda like swapping headers with a TN kit).

 

looking at that makes me highly confused....

 

Holy Lag and excessive piping batman

 

+1...

Way too much effort for gains that would ultimately be trumped by almost every other kit on the market. Just my

 

that pressure side pipe coming off the turbo would be very low and hang down under the car. not really feeling that setup at all. i would like to see one on my dyno though...

 

That maybe the case but the whole install factor of the turbo kit is the biggest selling point. Not eveyone is shooting for 600hp. A nice 400-500hp is good enough for me and many other people on this board (assuming this car can produce this amount of power). Again, this kit is probably out to steal more people from the SC crowd than the twin turbo guys.

 

well thast it... the kit might be maxed out at 400whp already

 

well 400whp is plenty of enough for most ppl...............

like stated before not every one wants 800whp fuking beast of burden and speed

 

well who knows if that 400whp will hold on any other dyno...or its a claim of 400HP, not whp ?? still to many ifs...

 

Double wrap all the pipe with header wrap and wrap your manifolds, it will improve spool up time. They do this on the LS1 rear turbos and usually get about 500rpm or so faster spool time.

 

do that and the piping might have a short life spam ....it does work though

 

might at well stick with TT kit

 

Does STS offer a remote mount turbo kit for the Lotus Elise? (j/k)

 

i havent seen this much hype and what if's since the who dreamworks supercharger that is suppose to be warrentied by dealerships.
