I wanna turbo a black 1996+ V6 Camaro w/ a 4-speed auto and put a 'Grand National' badge on the back.

just by a GN engine, retro fit in into the camaro. itll be easier and prolly cheaper...

I'd assume GN engines are expensive and rare. It would be more fun to turbo the Series II anyways :)

i've seen a GN 3.8 in an El Camino.
pick up this months issue of Muscle Mustang And Fast Fords. I know..I know..but they give a complete list of companys that make turbos for the 5.0-4.6 I would image these companies also have kits for the F-Body.

In have seen this kit for camaros that the turbo is in the rear of the car under the bump and the piping runs up to the intake... the kit looked pretty cool... I will post the link if I find it...

im not even sure if it has an intercooler... it runs on a stock exhaust set up or the one that come with it... im looking for the link right now...

I have a tbi chevy and i can't find any turbos, and i don't think this one will work because its TPI. Can anyone give me some direction.

dear god, please tell me that you guys are kidding about the remote turbo system!!! it doesnt work, it cant, not effectively atleast. you would have to run intake piping all the way back, plus oil lines. you would end up losing half your PSI on the return to the intake manifold. not to mention you would have a 1200 degree turbo chillin under your gas tank. bad idea, very bad idea...

With the turbo so far back, don't you get a lot of turbo lag?
No, our turbochargers are sized to operate at this remote location. Just like any turbocharger, once the turbo is up to temperature and in the rpm range for which it was designed to operate. The boost comes on hard and fast. All of our systems will produce full boost below 3000 rpm.
If you were to take a conventional turbo and place it at the rear, you would have lots of lag and consequently, our turbo wouldn't work properly if mounted up front.
How is the turbo lubricated?
Our system uses the engine's pressurized oiling system to supply the turbocharger. This pressurized oil travels approximately 12 feet through tubing which dissipates heat out of the oil just like an oil cooler to provide cool oil to the turbocharger. The oil is then scavenged from the turbocharger via an electric oil pump which returns the oil to the engines valve cover through another long length of tubing which again cools down the turbo-heated oil before entering the engine.
Is a turbo timer or pre-lube device necessary with your system?
No, the turbocharger temperatures on our systems are approximately 500F cooler than turbo temps on conventional systems so the oil doesn't get hot enough to carbonize in the turbocharger bearings. With the turbocharger located where it is exposed to ambient air rather than trapped under the hood, the turbocharger quickly cools down as well so cool down times after runs don't need to be 5 to 10 minutes. As far as pre-lubrication, our system incorporates our "Wet Start" system which keeps oil at the turbo inlet at all times so that the turbocharger has an instant oil supply at start up.
What happens if something goes wrong with the oil pump?
In the event of an oil pump failure, the system is equipped with an alarm which will sound inside the vehicle to warn you that you are experiencing an oil system problem so that you can prevent any damage to the turbo or engine. This alarm is designed to warn you of any problems with the oil pump well before a complete shutdown of the pump.
With the turbo located under the fuel tank on the Camaro, doesn't it heat up the fuel?
We have done temperature testing on this issue and found that the factory heat shield does a great job of preventing the transfer of heat into the fuel tank. The temperature of the air on top of the heat shield only rose about 15F higher than ambient temperature with a full boost run. The only time you might see an increase in actual fuel temperature would be during extensive stationary dyno testing when there isn't any substantial airflow around the turbocharger and rear of the car. We recommend running a full tank of gas for any dyno testing.

ya know, i dont really care what the company tells someone about the product. they are trying to sell it so they can say whatever they want to sell it. common sense and elementary physics will tell you that the system will not work, and if it does it wont work well...

haha..... yea it would..... i got one... i want a damn turbo now!! this is a thread about how turbos are more efficient yatta yatta.... it was a few months ago tho....its on the tip of my tounge.... dammit!!

here we go again, if your turbos run 500*f cooler than a standard system, how does it spool just as fast as a standard turbo sysem? Turbos are driven by heat just as much as they are driven by pressure.

Actually.. the pipe would probably havto be about 6 feet exhaust piping and 8-10' turbo to intake..Thats without an intercooler.. Compared to my turbo which is bolted on the exhaust manifold, so the exhaust hits the turbine instantly.. and after all of my intercooler piping its about 5' from the turbo to the intake manifold..
And the air is much cooler in the rear.. But lets not forget that a turbo also uses heat to create boost pressure..
And if you ask me, that just seems like a WHOLE lot more possibilty for intake vacuum, oil, and exhaust leaks..
I think that remote mount turbo is BS!
