I'm no expert on the physics of flow and pressure, but I would think that regardless of length (to an extent), once a tube has been filled with air or fluid, then changes in pressure should be near instantaneous at either end?

Alvin?

Think of it this way..do you want air pockets in your brake lines?

some fluids are very im-compressible so yes the pressure change would be near instant.

something more compressible ie air, it's going to take more to impact it, your going to have to change the pressure of a much greater volume so I would expect lag to increase.

plus same goes with zorst gases getting to turbo they have to travel more distance.

But in having more distance to travel there is also restriction too, so whatever detriment it gives to spooling the turbo, it could help with the engine building up RPM too?

It is external gate...

As the turbo is 4-5M back from the engine it shouldn't get too hot, there will be a heat shield over it all, and hopefully carpet back over the lot. I have to test it with an infra-red thermometer on the dyno first.

Lol something about a turbo sealed in the boot makes me feel uneasy.

That is going to be a lot of heat and no doubt the hot air will enter the cabin area.

Cut into the floor of the spare wheel bay and set up some cold air feed

i'd say there should be a little lag with regards to spool but, nothing serious. 4-5m isn't that long. As air is a compressible fluid, at even at scotty's 45psi, that just resolves to 3bar, which does nothing for compressibility, so there will still be an effect, though, pipe length is a lot less of a factor than a restriction.

But theoretical vs physical, i still think scotty should give it a try.

Don't worry, I will be. :P

The turbo won't be laggy, the engine should have the .82 rear GT35 pushing 20psi by around 2.5k, but it may not be as responsive as it would be hanging off the manifold...

The piping up and back is 2.5 inch so not too much area to fill.

Haha, days off important too :P. What is not good is when you take days off, and then unexpected events mean you can't go on days you were planning to go !

Also gotta figure out if it is indeed just my bulb that has burnt out in my headlight... if it is... china bulbs off ebay, $10... phillips like $67+ ... DECISIONS... Not sure if trust quality (+ shipping time probably like 2 weeks+) ... but then dat money =[

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
