How bad of an idea is this?

[LucasD]

I got a old semi turbo, laying here. I wanna mount it on top of my intake and mount the throttle boddy on the intake end. Chop a hole in the hood and go.

Now there is a few things i realize. This might not work (don't care)

This is a bad idea (i know the truck is junk)

if it does work it will have more lag than a 1.6 with twin turbo v8's (i want it to break lose at 3000rpms.

its on my 92 tbi stepside...

ideas thoughts lol

You'll have nothing more than never ending lag if anything at all.

whats a turbo on top of the intake going to do :think:

[LucasD]

like a supercharger. its sucks the air through the throttle body. not pushing through it..

Even if it worked all it would do is hold the throttle butterflys open.

[LucasD]

Would it be better to have to blow through.

this is not about making power lol. its about getting some stupid redneck **** to work.

How bout sticking to normal redneck **** and just drain the oil out of it and wheel the f*cker til it blows up.

[LucasD]

Been there done that. boring

its ether this or quad leaf blowers!!

Jk but im really thinking of doing this just for the "Your ****ing stupid" factor

[poboychevy]

how are you planning on driving the turbo?

[LucasD]

exaust.... isn't that what your suposed to do.

or would it just have to much back pressure to even let it run

[rebelbowtie]

one of us is really stupid here. it could be me. but turbos are exhaust driven...and leaf blower wont to anything either....but its funny as ****.

how are you planning on driving the turbo?

judging by his previous posts i say a hamster on a wheel :lol:

[rebelbowtie]

didnt sound like you were going to hook the exhaust too it :lol:

[LucasD]

lol if i make 10 more hp than stock i'll ****ing poop a sledge hammer.

[LucasD]

lol no the turbo works pretty good. i think the engine could get it spinning.

[poboychevy]

so let me get this straight.

your going to mount a turbo and exhaust that will climb to 6-700 degrees fairly easy...........

directly under the tbi?


:fail:

[LucasD]

That was just an idea.......Calm down with the failness.

This whole pickup was a boat of fail before i even thought of this.

I just want someone to see it and say "THAT MOTHER ****ING IS ****ING CRAZY"

you know. for fun, the stuff we used to have before everyone started thinking everything has to be perfect. but anyways you got a better idea.

[rebelbowtie]

do a traditional turbo set up. you can fab your own turbo headers and run a blow through carb. watch your EGT and pray it doesnt explode. or pray it does explode if youre into that sorta thing. cheap and still kinda "redneck"

[LucasD]

now where talking

what could i use for a ghetto intercooler? like four transmission coolers? and old raidiator out of a small car?
