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

heres a few shots of an Rx7 v mount.

Its when you take the intercooler and radiator and create a V shape. Allowing better airflow to both. Intercooler goes on top, radiator on the bottom.








as you can see from the mass of rx7 shots i used and the huge amount saved on my hard drive, i plan on buying one in about 2 years as soon as i graduate college. its been my dream car for 5 years now, 2 more years and its mine.
