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, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
