Remote mount turbo setups

So what would be the purpose to remote mount a turbo?

On a pull truck, most the 2.6 and 3.0 turbos become to big to fit in the valley and require major fire wall modifications to clear. Also makes it much easier to change and maintain in the remote location.

Anything new kits out there? Possibly in the market. Those ones that bring the factory uppipes location over the valley seem useless. Possible have limited space between the fans and front of engine too so maybe around the back of the engine would fit me best

we haven't built them that way in several years, makes getting to injectors or working on the top of the engine a PITA. Side mount turbo with standard manifolds and driver side pipe feeding around the back of the engine has proven to work the best for any truck that is still "stock like" engine bay/engine location.

Yes mine is still a mishimoto a2a, so I don't think exhaust around the front would work??

only way to route header across the front is if you where not running conventional accessory brackets or fan on the engine. and even then, there is no real gain going across the front, piping will be similar, if not longer in length, vs running around the back, to meet the turbine housing on the passenger side.

Jason,

So the kits on your website have the up pipes routed up the back of the engine and around the heads? So they'll work for a water to air intake?? Will they work with my lmm?

Jason's kit. See the crossover pipe at back of engine? This is 2.25" tubing with wagler-matched ProFab tubular headers, but I'd assume his regular kits route the same.

That kit looks like a winner. Did that intake come with the kit, or was that a separate thing that you bought?

Nice Front cover there Isaac!:thumb:
here are some other versions in trucks with forward mounted engines or accessories deleted.

yes on all three questions.

that is a wagler street cast intake, separate from most kits

Separate. We use Werhli remote mount and front cover. Top notch quality!

Thanks Isaac, that does look nice. I wish I'd have just went remote mount in the first place. I'm gonna be pushed to sell my t4 hsp kit now and get one of these.

'76 gmc/ built for a local "odd ball" type pulling class that pits gas trucks vs diesel trucks. 137" wheel base max, SRW, No hanging weight, and 6500 LBS. its a tough class to lay down the power.

That is so badass. One of the best engine bays I've seen, and in a square body to boot! Thats awesome.
