Rear mounted turbos?

Rev · 01-16-2005, 05:07 PM

Went recently to my local DynoJet shop to make an appointment for a dyno run. While talking to the the guy about cars in general, he showed me a current project for a Viper engine Dodge pick up truck.

The project was a rear mounted turbo for the V-10 engine. It was a true rear (where the spare tire would be) turbo off the exhaust pipe with a custom boost pipe from the rear to the the engine intake.

I was surprised as hell. I've never heard of such a thing before. He said (Roy at TNT Motosports) that he had done several on Vipers and that it worked very well, losing only about 1 psi boost over a conventional front mounted turbo.

It does use the stock headers, so that is an advantage, probably saving a bunch of $$$. I like these guys a lot. They make 1000 hp Vipers for a living, but will still dyno my car for $75 a pop. I recommend them to any one in the Houston area. TNT Motorsports.

Glad to know it ain't so new. The way they were saying it, it was new technology. Still, I've never heard of it before, not that it means anything.

Huh...never heard of it, either. I wonder if there is much temp difference. Maybe a cooler air charge reaching the engine?

A buddy of mine said he had just read about one of those, possibly on an import (??). Said the advantage was cost savings over a conventional. I would like to hear more about them.

I have a vid somewhere of a rear mount v6 'maro, last bodystyle. I had completly forgotten about it, (kinda thought it was a "one off"). If anyone wants, and knows of a place to host, I can try to find it.

Wow sounds wild to me. What about the oil to the bearings and shaft in the turbo, are they running those lines back there as well, presure and return lines?

Thank you once again for helping me out Rev.
