BDII Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 To bad no AWD Twin, remote mounted, air/watercooled turbo's. Interesting.... Need forum help? Private Message legGTLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 That's no stinkin' Pontiac. That is way better, it is a Holden HSV. (just kidding, they are the same thing. ) sure it is amazing, but when does the cost of tires outstrip the cost of the turbo system? a month? six months?

whitetiger Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Due to the displacement of the engine, im sure that the lag isnt so bad. Better to had alitle lag anyways so you dont spin the tires so easily on take off if you give alittle too much gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camber Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Lag? :lol: Google "STS GTO" or "Callaway TT Corvette." I've never driven one but from what I've read about STS GTO, is that there is lag. Probably, not that annoying but was just wondering if any fellow LGT'ers ever driven that type of setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, not that annoying but was just wondering if any fellow LGT'ers ever driven that type of setup. Well, I guess that depends on your expectations. You still have all the brutal power you'd have from an NA large displacement engine of that type, very down low, as Whitetiger states. Obvi, usable boost comes on a little later... Personally, I've been in the passenger seat of a Gale Banks TT 1989 Formula 350 and can tell you first hand lag is the last thing on your mind ________________________________________________ [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1980"]'05 BSM OBXT Row-your-own, W.I.P. :rolleyes:[/URL] [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1242"]'06 Shrek B # 64 - The car the wife loved to hate :( Sold...[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasopoliS Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Well if it means anything, it looks like turbos are at full boost by 3K RPM...... that torque curve is nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 why would anyone give a crap about turbo lag on a 6 frikkkken liter V8? It isn't exactly HURTING FOR TORQUE!!! Can I liquify tires by merely thinking about letting out the clutch, Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camber Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 It's more of a transient response issue then anything. I appreciate big power but it would be cool to find out. If these remotely placed turbos, on big engines, have a somewhat linear feel to the go pedal. Something that you could appreciate, if it was a daily driver. Also, its a tire saving feature;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neelnug Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Want low end power? Get a supercharger. A turbo like this will be awesome on the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourMoBro Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 installation looks pretty easy, too. no bumper beam hacking that i could see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight705 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 guess more companies are pushing the rear mounted turbo setups. not sure if they explained it on their website but how is the turbos shielded from road debris and potential speed bumps (like on lowered cars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Well its auto right? just get a trans brake, Have you ever seen a build auto turbo car, stall and a trans brake, there is no lag the turbo is spooled before you even launch with a trans brake. you launch with all your ponies, and if you are buildign a fast v8rwd car, you dotn have tiem to complain about tires, i have gone through a set of tires in my supra or T/a in under a week and my T/A only made 357rwhp at the time i went through tires that fast.
