remote mount turbo
 
ok i know you all are laughing at me about my remote mount turbo laugh it up and hope you dont pull up and try to pass me on a unbusy road but i still have a few questions about more parts i have a garret t3 .45 turbo of a volvo rear mounted behind the rear end were the muffler used to be i'm running 1.75 boost tubing up to the mass air flow and 3 in. to the throttle i know you are not suppost to boot through a vein type air meter but it work just fine as long as your blow off valve is in front of it just thought i would share something if you want some performance injectors cheap i used the fuel injectors out of a 89 mazda 626 turbo 2.2 engine they fit perfectly on stock miata fuel rail and have the same resistance 12-16 ohms as the stock injectors but they dump hella more fuel but i would sugeest adjustable fuel pressure regulater or use the one from the 626 engine cause the stock miata regulater is 5 psi higher causing a really rich idle i need to know more about piggy back ecu and were to get them please let me know the goods and bads about them please

I'm sorry... but what the hell did you just say?

The cops tagged him twice on the drive home....

The guy is insane.

Pictures......... And is it running with turbo installed?

Megasquirt is popular here, there is also emanage blue, Emanage Ultimate, some have used the apexi safc but I would pass. How much boost, what yr is your miata, how much HP do you want?
If you have a 1.6L and using the afm, you can pull the cover off and adjust it some. There is a screw to lean or richen for idle.


As to what management you use needs to be decided by how much power you want.

Toddcod 03-28-2009 01:27 PM

I personally wouldn't want a remote mount. But He atleast he accomplished one. That is better than the last few.

Also, if any of the videos of remote mounts are any indication, there's nothing to worry about.

Oh wait we have to keep it on topic...

A pair of turbos roll and tumble along the sidewalk, walking their pet humans. Everything ages in reverse, microwaves flash freeze food, your neighbor's dog was flammable even before "accidentally" pouring him with accelerant, and Hondas are fast. You are now entering...

Figured I'd try out the remote mounted turbo myself... Works pretty well!

haha. they're right about one thing.. I made some waffles before that thing was finished spooling... but it went from cruise to like 900hp pretty quick :laugh:

ThePass 03-30-2009 04:09 AM

I am nearly certain that the driver of that supra did not downshift - he stayed in top gear (6th I think) and just jabbed the gas and waited, knowing the other car would fade into the rearview in just a few moments. Had he downshifted and actually tried the spool up process would not have needed an intermission for bathroom and drinks as in the video.

Orion ZyGarian 03-30-2009 04:17 AM

Its possible. Supras are so well underdriven in their top gear (MkIV's 6 speed is around .78:1 IIRC; MkIIIs is .75) that full throttle at just above idle does nothing. Practically no noise and no indication whatsoever of throttle position, whereas in the powerband (of any car), throttle position is easy to listen for.

Savington 03-30-2009 04:22 AM

..or it's a 3-speed auto and you're both deaf.

NA6C-Guy 03-30-2009 04:26 AM

I was thinking it was auto. Don't exactly hear the revs climb too much.

ZX-Tex 03-30-2009 08:57 AM

Could be Doppler shift. But it does shift like an auto at the beginning of the video.
Once it spools that Supra looks like it was shot out of a cannon.

Chicken wire and duct tape, motherbitch. One fuckin' natty ice and a g-note later you got a trub0z. Act like you know.

djcommie 04-02-2009 05:09 PM

All that bravado and his intercooler has no ducting? a 3 year old could do a better zip tie job on the LC1

solidBP 04-03-2009 07:16 PM

I'd understand if the miata had issues fitting a turbo system in the engine bay. The thing is though... it doesn't have this problem. Why trade efficiency for the sake of being different? Why would you even need to do a rear mount on a miata?

If you are doing it for shits and giggles then why not? Just know there are far better options.

kotomile 04-03-2009 08:06 PM

Exactly. The Miata remote-mount crowd, however small, is a weird bunch. They've managed to convince themselves that it's not only a good idea, but is somehow superior to just putting the turbo underhood.

Toddcod 04-05-2009 07:34 PM

It looks like to much work to me. And for the price of all the piping, Your back to square ONE. No savings in price.

But to each there own. As long as it runs like a rapped chicken.

well i don t know where any body heard that remote mount turbos are un effecient my intake air temp at its hottest is is still cooler than if your had been only running for my 5 min on a sunny spring morning im holding down 11 lbs at stock timing specs with no spark knock and as for as price for piping it cost me 35 $ at a local exaust shop to bend me a pipe paralel to my exaust my whole set up only cost me 300. $ with the turbo and 200.$ of it was the oil scavenge pump so how do you get unefficient out of that i don t know im only posting stuff on here for positive stuff and info if you gonna be negative just don't reply cause your ignorence is really not needed thanks evrybody else

how i ask you where you measure you intake temps at also the heat output may be just as good with an intercool youre not rewritting law of physics here but the overall efficency of the turbo is slightly lessen do to less energy to spin the turbine with teh exhaust gasses. as for the rest of your statement we all know that youre lying here so stop being a little fairy princess take a minute from taken naiked pictures of yourself and posting on your favorite gay chtroom and craigslist m4m ads and go prove yourself. if your next post on this forum does not include a photo of your trubo setup with a piece of paper that says braineack is god on it, then im banning you. the ball is in your court, no pun intended

This is so true, unfortunately. Here we are witnessing yet another example.

IMHO remote mount Miata turbos can have that ultra-inexpensive, LeMons appeal to them. I just wish some of these guys would actually follow through once in awhile, instead of being, well--weird, and self destructing after the whole idea implodes on them. :vash:

tyson87 04-10-2009 10:20 AM

the only thing i can see as a benefit of the remote mount is that u could fool someone into thinking its not turboed. but other than that its gay
