since the turbo turbine is mounted under the car and all how is effected by the rain and debre that maybe on the road? wouldnt water get sucked in by the turbine? is there anything to protect the turbine from debre or puddles? has there been in problems with the kit so far in general?


p.s. sry it was just some random thought that got into my head out of the blue while i was trying to sleep

 

They are going to offer a skid plate for the turbo area.

 

ok how about the water is it going to b a problem when you go over a puddle or when it is some hard rain?

 

i have the same questions + one.. what about lowered boxes? have you tested the turbo on one yet?

 

I was wondering about how much airflow will get to the turbo and also how is the oil return line secured because if that gets caught on anything it's lights out.

 

Just as a reference here is my turbo.. the oil returm comes out and almost strait up.. so there are no worries about it getting caught by anything..also it is not the lowest part on the setup, the down pipe to turbo is..

 

is it being ran with no filter?

 

...whoa!


...i'm new to the ZPI turbo...


...that looks cool...


...i want one...

 

Jason that is the back side of the turbo.. the exhaust side.. we had my exhaust off at that point.

 

i know it took me awhile to figure it out...... i had to go through some post to compare it but in the other flix its just an open turbine like you can put your finger in there and get it cut off open not like i would do that well maybe a carrot but yea

p.s. sry didnt realize i was under my cousin sn but yea its me Jason(itsme)

 

ok off topic, but is the ZPI stuff going to replace the header, or bolt after it? Will you still be able to run "stock" exhaust?

Thanks!
Keith

 

from what i see i dont think it replaces the header

 

Airflow is taken through a filter higher and fed into the turbo like a standard setup (no water will get in and lots of air available where the intake is located) it's oil cooled and should still get enough air flow to keep additional cooling on track in that regard as well

Water hitting the exterior of the turbo isn't an issue at all... the pic you see it of the exhaust side of the turbo setup, with the exhaust off....so, it is a bit confusing to some... the down pipe is the part that is the lowest... so road debre and such could be an issue to consider with it... but a protective plate is discussed too...

It's just hitting the end of development and going into production... but, looks like a much better looking and from vids and links, performing option to the GReddy.

 

You can use your exsiting header that is on the car, the down pipe of the exhaust is what gets replaced... as for the exhaust it self:

 

What I meant about airflow is how much will be able to cool the turbo, I was just curious about how the kit will perform once it's become heat saturated.

 

Well one of the reason the redesigned the turbo setup was to help with the cooling of the turbo. It gets alot more air across it underneath the car, then it would sitting in the engine bay on top of the manifold. Hope that answers your question.

 

whats on the otherside of the turbine where the air gets sucked in? does it stay open?

 

No it has a cone airfilter on it like an intake would...

 

wouldnt water get sucked through if it rained? ran over a puddle etc..... sry if this is troublesome just tryin to get some clarification

 

dose anybody know the distance from the lowest piont on the turbo setup to the ground is?
