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

yeah, my plan really is to find a narrow intercooler, so its height wont take up to much space. And make more of a check mark shape then a complete V. I would angle the rad as much as possible, then fill the hole with the intercooler.

I also had in my plans of running the stock twins from a FD. However, as much fun as it would be to do, the celi just doesnt have the room in the engine bay for it. Thus why i wanted to mount it on the left side of the car. That and I would need to tap hoses into parts of the motor I dont feel like messing with.

So I will probably just run a T3, i am really looking for just streetability. 7a's are slow, i have had the car for 3.5-4 years now and I am def not in the racer group. I just want some highway horse power. If i can push 200 daily i would be very happy.
