i know this isnt really mazda related but its still something neat. this things seems like a cool idea would like to hear from someone if they acutally seen this stuff in action. but for some reason it makes me think that this shouldnt be but on a low profile car. that would suck to have your turbo rub the ground instead of a muffler.

fuck sts.
let's negate 20+ years of turbine engineering and thermal dynamics

 

+1

 

and you are?????

 

Someone who realizes the turbine and its design is run off of Thermal efficency and moving it away form the thermal energy that powers it woudl be a dumb idea ...

 

sleepydave- aren't you from the teamfc3s forum?

 

um i think i was talking to sleepyman over there.

 

it does seem weird but thats why i want to know if anyone has seen it in real life. it does go against all turbo logic. but i doubt you would see high numbers like 20-30 psi. most likey 5-7 is what they would see at high rpms.

 

I know a guy that has one on his firebird..Seems to work pretty good..But I was told that a turbo needs the heat to spool up fast...And just why?..Why put the turbo on the back of the car?I just dont see the point of this.

 

Ohh and the Firebird is making somewhere in the high 300's on like 7-8psi..Its a Lt1 btw.
