I believe the bmw m5 has a twin turbo kit which mounts them at the rear of the car. Nets an extra 200ish hp

this is the new m5 btw.

the older 5litre v8 m5 has a twin turbo kit in the US.

-again some useful info for bmw enthusiasts.

Boobs........boobs.......two girls......boobs......

Huh? Oh sorry yeah umm what were we talking about, i was too distracted by your display pic :thumbsup:

I think it's more done for the reason of not being able to squeeze turbos into crowded engine bays. STS Turbos in the US have gotten good results from remote mounted turbos on Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes etc.

And I've actually heard from a friend who did that setup on his VS V8 commy that it can be beneficial as the air that passes through the turbo is alot cooler when it goes through since its got that extra distance to travel. Not too sure on the validity of this point but it kinda makes sense...

Boost control would also be a lot nicer with that gate setup, but you wouldn't have the extreme heat of the exhaust gasses aiding in turning the turbine I guess.. but on big v8s I really not see the long pipework being an issue.

Yeah its interesting I know a bloke doing an 32 Ford with an LS1 and twin GT35R's the turbos sit basically under the driver and passenger seats reckons it will chirp second too...

lol those "all the way to the back of the car" setups are the biggest load of crap, defeating the purpose of turbo charging a car.

How does it defeat the purpose? The car is still turbocharged...

Lol i leave for 1 day and get alot of responses. Dont worry i scrapped the idea and im now going with a

6boost Hi-Mount Mani, Garrett GT35R w/ .63housing as i hear its got good response (3000-3500 full bost) , Tial Wastegate (undecided Mm atm), and a flanged dump pipe for when i want some screamer action.

Btw, Ive concucted a flange to attack my Stock RB25 turbo to my ride on mower , ill be using a custom intercooler w/ no BoV, hopefully producing some mower dose action. I got the idea of a Youtube vid of a guy doin it, should be fun. I hope i dont blow up the engine as its gonna be 100% FF.

I actually did put an old stage 2 GCG highflow on a mangled trust manifold. I left it IW though.

I got the manifold cheap, i was swapping in the rb25 anyway so i thought it was worth a crack.

I had 1 bar by about 3k so i wouldn't say it was laggy. It was a beautiful thing to drive compared to the rb20 with the same turbo. I was still playing around with the emanage at that stage and made an easy 200 at 1bar with just the afm correction for a z32 and no other changes.

The manifold eventually cracked. I installed a hks low mount manifold and t300s, sold off the old bits, life went on....

So ultimately a waste of money but at the time i enjoyed playing and had plenty of spare cash so it didn't bother me.

from memory, anna (msnismo) has a .63 rear version and is on full boost a smidge before 4000. that's using cams and a fancy manifold.

from memory finelines setup is a .82 and on full boost between 3500 and 4000 on well built motor with cams and headwork doin 500rwhp (well it was before the JB clutch exploded)

Noel has a very nice head though :(

I do tend to agree as the .63 GT35 is a little silly for an RB25 get the .82 and take the little extra lag its well worth it. I wouldn't call a stock internal RB25 "Lagy" with a .82 either

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
