High Mount Factory Turbo

[HKS_25T]

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone has Hi-Flowed the factory RB25 T3 and then slapped it on a High Mount Manifold + converted to external gate by welding up the internal one?

Just a wacky idea i came up with that might have good results , ide like to know if anyone has seen this or done this before. Ive seen this on low mount mani's but nevr a high mount.

yeah, sounds like a great idea.

You'll have the laginess of a Hi flowed turbo, that will be ever laggier on a large high mount manifold, just screaming to be defected because it in full view of the police officer.

lol yeah, the only reason highmounts exist is because the turbos are too large to fit beside the engine... it'd still be the crappy factory turbo, ready to poo its ceramic gizzards into the engine at the hint of upped boost.

Interesting that you can fit a t78 lowmoiunt though?

My GT3037 Pro S clears the strut tower by about 5mm.. thats low mount.

the factory turbo is embarrassingly small in appearance.

Oh. Dear.

[Ultimategtr]

as above +1

if you paint the turbo red it might go faster tho.

I got pretty drunk off corona's the other night, good beer.

[NoFX_Hardcore]

Good beer indeed.

Adriano has a point. I got a hks t45s that is a lowmount. (which is one of hks' first big turbos, similar size to a t78 I think)

Which brings the question "is a highmount really necessary for most vehicles?"....

To answer original question though, tiny high mount turbos are like showing off a small penis definitely.

I was looking into this and was advised that sticking a lot of really hot metal tube just below the bonnet can make a mess of your paint. (assuming you are using a manifold made from tube instead of a cast item)

ceramic coating works wonders though

So therefore a big turbo should be highmounted, because a big penis should be showed off?

yes that is correct
