Wtf!!!!!!!

[ninee3cobra]

why would someone do this?

rear mounted twin turbos and wide body kit

 

[1BAD93SVT]

not sure. have to ask the owner

 

[buddha93]

Now that is serious shit.

Everyone has a different idea of what their car should be. That's definitely not mine. I guess you could say it as least looks like it turned out nice...........I guess.

If he thinks he's being sneaky by "hiding" the turbos, anyone with half a brain is going to see all the piping and intercooler and know something is up.......geesh.

 

[sparky701]

It looked like a clean car. To each their own I guess.

You have to appreciate the amout of work that took.
You are going to see more rear mounted turbos on many things to come
Mainly because of getting the exhaust housing away from the manifold reducing heat dramatically.
Before, returning the oil was a big problem.
With new cool tools of today, ideas are expanding.

but think of the friction losses (pressure drop) of returning the air back to the front of the car with that stretch of pipe. It has to negate the lack of heat absorbtion. Intercoolers fix that too.

but it's creative I guess.

That car has cruise control:??:

Also and more importantly...Get a Rope

There are pro's and cons of anysetup.
The heat I am talking about is the sustained exhaust temps between the header and exhaust housing on conventional setups.
Yes there are obvious losses, but moving the turbo away eliminates the glowing exhaust, and foaming oil. Much easier on the bearings/bushings and seals. Underhood temps are reduced. Hoses, seals and wiring harnesses could use a little break from the heat.
That critical idle cool down time between hot laps can just about be eliminated by sticking the turbo out on the rear bumper.
Again, with any setup, you must weigh your options and build accordingly.
Just a different idea, that has its own set of variables that need attention to.

will that kill the paint on sides from heat under those panels???

i don't like it!! but lets hope its not a real cobra...:nonono:

I'm gonna disagree with you on that one Vince...
Turbos are more efficient mounted as close to the header as possible. The hotter the exhaust gasses, the better. If he's using the exhaust from that far back, he's not really running a very efficient setup. The exhaust temp has really cooled off by then.
Still, it's different I guess.

 

[stangsteve1993]

OK quit sweating it guys, its not a real cobra:banana:

It cut in to the quarter panels, that is part of the body structure.

Looks great, but I would never do that to ANY car I owned.

 

[93 COBRA]

That car has more plumbing than my house.

Creative

you mean more sewer pipe, cause thats what that is, pure sewage:xpl:

newbie here but.........:xpl:

Wow.
Thumbs up for such a unique approach, I bet it works pretty well.
Keep us updated on this, (not something you see every day).
