b3 intake plumbing

Slippery slope. If you can refab a floorpan and exhaust you can probably do a rear engined car. Rear turbo rear engined car yes yes yes

You guys are all nuts. . . Turbo, engine swap, cut the rear. Lol. all i want to do right now is change the intake. Baby steps.

EBay buddy. Or got to Lowes or home depot and get some tubing. Or auto zone or an auto parts store and get some muffler piping and bend and cut it.

Either way, you're gonna have to modify something. There's nothing intake wise you'll find except for the stock intake of the festiva and aspire.

Good luck pal.

That is the crazy attitude here if you're not on the side of the road trying to get home you should be engine swapping. And if you choose not to engine swap its because youre trying to turbo car to beat people who took the easy way out and did the engine swap

Swap will happen eventually, i really like.mygreat MPG and i wantto.better it. I also have a lot of fun with my 1.3. If i get a ticket i lose my job. I think of.my1.3 as the economicalsafety feature of.the.festiva. I got pulled over doing 58 in a 45, i think the Cop was suprised my car went that fast. Lol. He let me go with a warning.

I still don't get why RT. If you want a turbo out of the way and close to the ground, for whatever reason, replace the bend in the downpipe with the turbo. No secondary oil system, no LONG intake pipe, and you still get out of messing with the manifold. I know, I know, the fastest Festiva in the world is RT. Is that because it's RT? No.

Just my opinion.

[bhazard]

If the turbo is below the oil pan you will need to pump the return oil back into the pan.

[sketchman]

Really? I thought it was getting pressurized oil from the feed? Thought it would be fine on its own.

I don't know why, but if you look at the cars with the turbo in the front, you'd think they would be faster? I know a few people with "properly" located turbos make more power than I do.

It does go against all commonplace, known, and proven methods. But it works, and it seems like I had to set some records before people stopped doubting that it actually works.

I know it let's me get away with more boost and timing, than if it were front mounted, and heat soak isn't as much if an issue.

[sketchman]

^Well if it works, and it's what you want to do, that's all that matters. I've gone all around idea-wise trying to decide exactly what I want to do with mine, but RT was never something I considered. I'm definitely thinking about the turbo in the bottom of the engine bay, though.

[eurotiva]

I did it to keep my AC stuff happy, I thought it would work, but didn't think it would work as well as it does. Still surprises me.

[koRnhead]

How would you get the oil to flow up if you had it below the pan without a secondary pump? You do not run oil to any turbo at high pressure. Ever. Most new ball bearing turbos want very low pressure.

[jawbraeka]

I'm guessing here, but a 2nd pump would probably be ldeal.. Perhaps a one way check valve in the return direction.. So that oil won't run back down the pipe.
