MASSIVE Rear Mounted TURBO Corvette! 

Some of these guys and there attitudes....

Lol that's Cleetus announcing!

great build. can't wait for him to get the tune figured out so he doesn't let off when it goes lean!

in australia that last run would have stopped his night as well.......they would have told him to go home and not come back without a cage and a chute...

I just love the sound of that turbo

very sweet!! that unmistakable jet sound only a rearmount produces....

that's where the turbo should always be IMO

clean setup looks like it can be really fast once it's got the bugs worked out

damn! I expected 7 or 8 sec out of that car lol

this vette is so badass

I remember people doing this 10 years ago on Camaros with STS turbo kits and people are acting like its a new concept.

great hookup....that thing gripped up nice and really shot out of a cannon.

That thing launched! Gnarly!

Good last run. Love the car!

9.4 @ 117mph !!!! Hahahah awesome!!

OOOHHHH the Turbos are rear mounted on the exhaust system i see. i had no idea that was still around? my dads buddy had a c5...? or c4? i forget whatever bodystyle had the last flipup headlights i know that much lol probably an 99-04 ish with a similar setup and i could not see any significant change aside from the sound. theoretically the idea is that with them mounted behind the exhaust system it will be more efficient by just creating a vaccum at the end instead of shoving the air all the way through the manifold and exhaust from the front. makes sense but i honestly think it makes very little difference though personally. not to mention youd probably be going through turbos and bearings and shit more often cuz theyre more exposed you may have to build like a skid plate type deal while also making sure they'll be able to breathe idk the only forced induction ive ever ran were centrifugal Supercharges although im only 25 im old school like that and i feel that its more fitting for a v8 engine with low power bands and lots of torque turbos are for tiny little thins that weigh nothin and rev to 9 grand so you dont have that crazy boost kick that in a huge engine like this wants nothing but to kill your ass and chew you up and spit you out lol it aint worth it.seems more like a "hey look at me mines differen" type thing really lol which sadly rules way too many people's opinions about cars than it should. like when everyone was so super unique because they had those hideous Rockstar wheels on their truck lol but then 9 hours later evey pickup from here to fuckin Toronto was rockin em lol stay away from the automotive fads do yourself a favor.

hell i didnt know there was another drag night in STL!!!

Wow his car is just amazing

launches so nice

it looks like he did not get a lot of sleep lol

used to see those rear mounted turbo on late 90/early 00's firebirds n Camaros I think .

Nothing will ever be as fast as the nitrous s1000rr on this channel

Missouri represent

thing hooks like crazy

z06 sand bagging must not want to put a cage in it lol

you can hear that thing screamin in those shots from behind the car

love corvettes man😍

is the car taking very long to build boost because of the rear turbo setup ?

Let out and still ran a 940!! Good god

that's 1 bad ass corvette

Damn, It ran 9.48 hitting the brakes before the lights. I saw that.

"there is no back pressure" comments incoming.

Pure massive awesomeness.

Shit! It's so damn smooth acceleration

He's got glide money. That's a account drainer right there...

I would totally own that

i always wondered about mounting turbos on long tubes, front is the best for many reasons but it nice to stand out from the pack too

Terrible reaction time ;) im joking im joking.. is that cleetus we here in the announcement tower!?!

How is it working :o

u can tell it still needs more tweakin...stock bottom end and alittle bit of nitrous c6's run that 1/4 mile time with a higher mph all day

Hmm this would be a good race with the 2016 nismo GTR

I didn't like they said it's an interesting concept I don't know how well it's going to keep working because it only goes so far down the track before it stops and stops completely so you'd need a whole lot more time and a lot more tweaking and I'm pretty sure that set up the way it is is a lot better than most of the other side of because it's further away from the actual motor butt basically like I said it's an interesting set-up and I would like to see it actually work fully I mean he pulled the 9-4 what are roll thru after it stopped at a nowhere so I'm pretty sure that if it would have kept going and you would have been somewhere in the 8s the low 8s!!! maybe even well WHO knows!!!!

Maybe next time ask a question that we actually wana hear the answer to.... HOW MUCH WHP!!!??

that Corvette needs a good blow off valve for the turbo, that fluttering after he gets of the gas just sounds painful

I dig it

I cannot believe so many people are defending a rear turbo setup for being as good or as efficient as a front mounted one. Unless the car is leaving at max boost turbos are a "feedback" type of power adder. The closer to the exhaust ports the better for everything turbo related. A shorter distance to the turbo means less engine cycles are needed to fill up the pipe leading to the turbo, which will then start to turn the compressor side of the turbo faster. If the turbo is closer to the engine then the newly pressurized air is then fed into the engine sooner, which makes more power sooner, and more/hotter exhaust sooner. The feedback loop is much quicker to respond and it is more efficient since the gas is hotter the closer the turbo is to the exhaust ports. The only reason to ever do a rear mount is if you cannot fit it into the engine bay. Less weight too.

just kinda curious, what's the benefits of a rear mounted turbo

my eclipse get will eat that up on a hot day...stock block😉

Why turbo on the back???Wouldn't it be better to place the turbo closer to the exhaust manifold

Can some explain what the point of a rear mount turbo is? Isn't that just extending the distance air is going to have to travel to be pushing into the motor?

interesting concept, do they have to route engine oil all the way to the back?

at the end of the first race

Is Cletus the one filming???

did anybody notice the ufo at the end of the race

Since when is running 9s slow🤔

Is there a benefit to a rear mount over the usually seen front?

Soon all corvettes will have rear Turbos... After 2020 ;)

HP Tuners and a Fueltech hat? Switch it over.......Fueltech on the car and HP Tuners hat! I bet it'll be less of a hassle.

Uriha sina, I think its just a sleeper thing, yah no so when yah pop the hood the turbos not visible.

Why did he keep lifting/braking at the end?

This guys setup is tuned wrong or something. I just saw a LT1 Camaro with a single setup (air to air) run mid 8 seconds. These rear mount setups kick ass. Maybe his rear tires are too tall lol.

LETS ADD MORE LAG BY MAKING THE INLET HOSE FROM THE INTER-COOLER 8 FEET LONG!

Why wasn't he following all the way throug?

is this a thing now?

Great hooks

this car is traveling at barely over 100mph! it's never going to run a 7 second quarter mile

Is he letting out because its very lean up top?

Was there no way around waiting at the light. I see most turbo cars " bump". Couldn't he do the same and get a faster time?

He has to laugh in every video.

aוτimgamr the biggest troll of them all

hes lettin out because they will kick him out of track. a 9 sec pass at only 115? that would be almost 200 if he stayed in it no cage no chute

I don't get it, someone adds a turbo the way he wants and shares it, next thing people argue about it, why? . Its ok for some, not for others I get it but argue about it? Wow

Lag much? Full car Length pipes! That's nuts!!!

Where is this trAck

built to run 7 sec passes the description says but at 9.4 best pass on this video he has a LOT of ground to make up

Some of y'all act like y'all never seen a rear mounted turbo.

looked like he was scared of it. kept letting off before the finish. awesome car tho!

9.4 on the 1/4 mile.. Talk shit all you want but I guarantee that your front mount turbo car or na Honda doesn't run a 9 second haha

explain to me how this car can run7s. lol

He let off and still ran a good quarter mile time. He should of stayed on it. No point in racing for times if your not gonna finish

Should of did something different and put the lsx in a mustang 🙄

EYE AM SUPRE SAND

The driver is introverted. He got irritated real quick.

Interesting but not much smart, a lot of way to the compressed air come to engine, much delay i guess...

Why is it silver?

Idk why people do these. Ridiculously long spool time and almost double the material to put on the car. These kits make no sense

why?

Everyone talking shit. Just don't watch the fucking video. Jesus Christ. I'm willing to bet 99% of these hate comments are ppl with a car no where near this. ....

So what is the benefit of having a rear mounted turbo

If you like major turbo lag Sure.Lmao!

😮

@aוτimgamr really? youre gonna block me for putting you in your place? thats a shame.

Ls7 and a 88mm turbo and all you can do is 9.4. You need to learn how to set up a car

1:20 someone tell this guy not to text and drive!

Second

car seems slow

First comment!

9:48

too slow for turbo cars
