So you guys arent wont be running a IC will you? Ide love to hear the way that sounds. No more turbo timer also right?

 

i dont know if someone already asked this but how will it stand up to the elements?

 

It would be extremely helpful to have it coated to protect it from the rain and salt.
If you don't since it's cast iron it's going to rust like crazy.

 

Looking forward to seeing it in person. Get that thing up and running soon!!!

 

So, is the intake also going to be placed at the rear of the car or is it going all the way back to the engine bay?

 

There will be a cover (for around the turbo) available to help protect against the elements. I talked to stripper motors on aim about this.

 

correct the piping we are getting a rust free coating on them. The intake will be in the back off the turbo with a sock to help with dust and sand and a cover to help with debree.

 

Yes IC will be included

 

Sleepers Rule! (Cuz my car is one :D )

 

The fact that the turbo is located outside of the engine bay taking cooler exhaust, and 9 feet of charge piping is run outside of the vehicle, is an intercooler necessary? :? Is there going to be enough of a temperature drop to justify additional pressure loss?

 

Hmm....intake in the back with maf...that a good idea?

 

Please post a video!

 

video of what? the kits not completed yet

 

I am very interested in seeing this application up and runing on our cars. When the release date drops and all tests are complete, expect one sold to me.

 

WOW!! NOW THAT'S A NICE KIT! I was getting worried about rain and ice craking the hot turbo, but it seems that with that cover, there won't be any problems.

 

I don't know. I still worry a bit about it's exposure to extreme conditions.

 

I wanna see what kind of results they get - I like the setup but also am thinking about the weather. .....but im sure this is something that has been thought about over and over ....you dont produce something that u didnt plan out.

 

Yea, I know... I got no patient haha

 

Squires Turbo System made a lot of turbo setup like this and had no problem at all. Most 4x4 truck uses this for off-roading or pulling heavy loads where it always has so much dirt, water, etc. on the air filter with socks but still runs great. Sometimes I think its not a good idea cuz off roading truck tend to go over a thick mud and I wonder, how can they get air if the turbo system is under the truck flooded with mud, then again, theres a snorkel that goes through the back bed of the truck. Neat turbo system that is always cooled but I think this turbo system will be just fine on the tC but don't go over a flood water.

 

thats the thing - i sucked up water going through a horrible foot 1/2 pond w/ my old intake (it was pitch black out that night and i took my foot off the gas). They need to make sure that intake is high enough. I saw a picture online of a car w/ a turbo like this and it looked pretty low to the ground.
