Title: I know, I know more turbo stuff
Post by: prairie_dog on August 08, 2005, 10:11:37 PM

 I'll try and keep it short

 If I mounted a turbo at the end of my header (cause don't want to chop up a good header) do you think it's far enough away to get away without using an intercooler
 I've been trying to figure out how to do this with a carbed 1.6, the turbo is from a 2.2 laser or daytona

 Suggestions from the more mechanicaly inclined, that should be quiet a few of you as I know enough just to be dangerous ;D ;D

The turbo needs to be mounted higher than
the oil level in the pan, if oil can't return freely
you will blow the seals and pump oil into the
engine. The intercooler is needed because when
you compress air it gets hot, up to 300* (Zig I need your
degree mark  ;) )  and will make the engine ping,
it doesn't matter if you mounted the turbo in the back,
the compressed air would be hot.

Hey Prarie

     Listen to Wild as he is correct. Plus mounting the turbo that far back makes it less efficent and gives you more lag, double strike. The other thing to consider is the Turbo from the Chryslers is too big for the 1.6. I've seen it used on the 1.8 VW watercooled and it takes forever to spool up and needs big rpm to get boost.....I'm sorry but this one is just a bad combo.
