I've seen it a lot, it's pretty common with Corvette's. It's to do with engine bay size restriction. I've seen them mounted just near the transmission on newer Corvette's. Dunno how it would go with response though but maybe that HUGE V8 makes up for the loss.

Tight squeeze!

Interesting.

The Yanks got some different ideas.

I noticed the car does not have an intercooler.

So the way I see it, by installing the turbo under the car on the outside, (Cold) air can easily get to the turbo.

Also since the turbo is exposed to the outside air, the turbo housing can act as the intercooler.

Only down fall is if the car is too low, something might hit the turbo and the pod will suck in a lot of dirt and shit from the ground.

Not to mention water from puddles etc.

True, sucking water is not a good idea.

And the USA were not allow to import the R34 GTR because it did not meet the USA emission test... :)

Here is a Mustang with a similar application, air cooled turbo.

Yep a tuning company over in the ol' US of A has been doing this to BMW's for ages. They were also placing the turbos right at the back of the car.

When I questioned the lag of such a setup it was pointed out to me that as there is almost a constant flow of exhaust gases to turn the turbo it is almost constantly providing boost and hence the lag wouldn't be as noticable as you would think. I wasn't entirely convinced but it does make sense.

bah, i would have thought that it would face the same problems in terms of response as any other turbo. The big difference being that it has to pressurize an extra 2.5m of pipe before entering the inlet.

If u got pulled over here with that setup because the officer thought you had illegally turbo'd your Excel or something you could pop the hood and say "Look, no turbos!" He wouldn't be able to see them either without a hoist if it's in the midde of the underbody.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
