Manifold Tube Length??, How long can it be? Options

[Sev408]

Ok, I am looking for serious replies only!! I will repeat serious replies only!!!



My plan consists of moving the turbo to the passenger side of the engine. I know, it seems weird, but I would like to come up with some way of creating a V-Mount. Now my question is, if I wrap the manifold tubes around the left of the motor which would come to about 1.5 feet tops (all equal length in the end) would this affect anything? I mean when you stretch out a tubular manifold the tubes are probably right around 9-10 inches, so would a few extra inches kill any "performance" aspecs? Yes this would move my DP around, and all my wiring on that side, but I will deal with it. I would intend on putting the intake side forward, as you would have figured out by now.


Honestly, dont reply unless you have an answer. I dont want some horse sh*t answer like dont do that, do it the normal way. If you honestly have no idea as to an answer DONT POST.


Thanks,

Scott

^^thats why. Also to be a little bit different. And thank you for a very reasonable answer Doc. I was hoping someone with mechanical intelligence would come along with a helpful answer.


This is really the only thing that would be moved. The cruise control, i believe is what it is.

Not my car, dont really care whose it is. Its the first motor shot i found.
