I've seen and read all about the front facing turbos and kits for the Evo VIII and IX platforms.

How would I go about getting a front facing turbo kit for my evo x? My goal is to make 1000 horsepower on pump gas and 1300 on race gas. I plan on taking my car to DG Motors to have it built and tuned. My ultimate goal is to be able to run down GT-Rs.

 

I really and truly hope this post is you just being a troll. If not, you sir, should just sell your car to someone who would treat it right because its obvious that you wouldn't.

Get a 42r on a built 2.0 and run race gas.

 

Not joking... I like the look of a front facing turbo on the old evo how it sticks out from the bumper and it looks cool. Just trying to get information on how to have one built to go to the front. Maybe have the manifold go under or over the car?

 

Run down GT-Rs? Have you seen any of the AMS Alpha Omega GT-Rs? One is running in the 7's @182 mph. They will inhale your Evo X and spit it out of the tailpipes. And, given how tight space in front of an X, it would be quite the engineering feat to mount a big turbo there. The highest hp Evo X I have seen is Chase Lautenbach's Evo X that made almost 1,000 hp. He sold that car. He put out a challenge to Pete @DGMotors to beat that, but Pete has been rather quiet these days...

 

Is it possible? Sure is.

By time you have this built, you could have bought a lambo and had a stage 1 turbo kit installed at UGR.

 

The 4B11 is situated in a manner that the placement of the turbo will be near impossible and will be of no benefit in the front of the motor.

 

Select the gear that says R and drive using your rear view mirror.....that is the only way you will have a front facing turbo

 

a top mount turbo would be possible but not the front facing plus dg motors? why dont you do a quick search buddy

 

Not really possible due to layout of the engine.

You'd have to extend your manifold all the way to the front. Two problems with this:


1) Exhaust gas will have cooled significantly by the time it reaches the turbo turbine -> terrible spool and power potential
2) Extended manifold would melt just about everything that's near it. It was possible on the 4G63 since the exhaust side was in the front - you don't have to cross over the engine to reach the turbo.


But if you have the money for it (you're looking at probably 100-200k in fabrication costs), you can reverse mount the 4B11 so that the exhaust side is in the front. The you can have your front facing turbo without all the drawbacks.


Hell, it'd be cheaper for you to have an X body kit custom fitted to an Evo 8/9 shell






tl;dr: just buy an Evo 8/9 if you want a front facing turbo.

 

Sounds to me you more likely want the look of a front-facing turbo. The orientation of the turbo has no bearing on the power your engine will produce.

Also, DG? Just go do some VDR runs and manipulate the inputs until you're happy with the power claimed

 

This has to be a trolololol post. I stopped reading at DG Motors.

I don't think you'll be able to accomplish this on the 4B11T without some extreme engineering challenges that will make the entry cost unfeasible for the end result when you can tickle 1000hp on pump with a normal setup. Can it be done? Sure. Easy? No...and you'd have to relocate a ton of crap, tons of custom work. My head hurts thinking about it.

Not to mention your exhaust gasses in the back of the motor will cool down a bit by the time they hit the turbo. IIRC that's not good for keeping it spinning.

You'd have an easier time trying to fit in a 4g63.

Or just buy an 8/9

Since I almost never post on EvoM you can only assume this thread is in the initial stages of going viral ^_^

 

"There's a chance!!!"

 

Loooollllll
