How Does A Rear Mount Turbo Set Up Work?

Rear Mount Turbos are not complicated! There is just more space between the engine and the turbo. Check out how it all works and the pros and cons to running a set up like this.

First video I've seen of someone really explaining it

[@Randystites66207]

I might look into running dual rear turbos on my wifes C5 vette

[@bradybuildz5632]

Dual rears are very cool and from a visual point are very satisfying! Make sure if you do make that setup to create a standalone oil system for the turbos because you won't be able to get enough pressure from the engine

[@Randystites66207]

@@bradybuildz5632 great point, thanks

[@chrishernandez2490]

Same here, I think I finally decided to go twin rear turbos for my 01 cobra. I've been weighing all the different options between Eaton swaps, prochargers, and turbos, and it seems that rear mount custom turbos are actually the cheapest option!

[@hijackedmarketing2058]

I'm glad you said that since I was thinking of doing that on my 97 thunderbird 4.6 2v. Would you use 2 smaller turbos to reduce the lag?

[@kpgsx]

The EASY way to say it....is: The exhaust Flow turns the Turbine Wheel which ALSO turns the Compressor Wheel and the compressor TAKES IN Air, Compresses the Air and sends it back to the Throttlebody to ingest through the Engine Again.

Great vid man. Any advice on if it’s safe/reliable to rear mount an RX8? Always wanted to turbo it, without having to swap to the 7’s set up

[@MrMpm3001]

Thanks for 1:50... my eye twitched before you made the correction. Lol, good video.

I felt like an idiot when I went back to do the editing, this was one of my first videos so still a little nervous behind the camera😂 Thank you for the kind words

Good video man

[@snorlaxcom]

You also forgot engine weight balance bias is not so front heavy to affect suspension and is spread out. No need for turbo timer either.

I laughed so hard with 1 2 3 😂

[@Power_Tech_TV]

Im putting together a kit for my G8 GT. I have been talking about these for yrs.

[@bradybuildz5632]

Rear mount is a ton of fun man! As long as you can have a good oil system they're freaking awesome.

[@leroyherbert8783]

hows the kit coming along? im also looking to do a single turbo read mount in the spare tire area on my g8

Lol I was about to comment to correct you when the video cut to the correct explanation. But decent explanation man. Good job bud

[@jonny_gass]

Any tips on a rear mount for a sbc ?

[@12gaugekenshin]

I appreciate the info, looking into either doing this or regular engine bay turbo on my LS400, I’ll do some more research but again thank you!

[@dustinshenefelt9887]

Hahaha me too !

[@kurtland192707]

You have a build page on Instagram or anything?

[@DelEast740]

Only conceivable way to boost a Chevy Express cargo van. Charge pipe is so long strait through intercooler is all you need to cool the intake charge. 2013 6L80E, 5.3 , 799 heads, BTR truck Norris and a on3perfromance 77mm is the build I am working on. My HVAC side work van.

[@coutneykalina5308]

Where can I buy piping or header for rear mounted turbo would like it tight to block as it's going in a tractor

[@ChuddleBuggy]

rear mounted turbo sounds a lot like a concept i come up with on the crapper. but if it works, it works.

[@bradybuildz5632]

Not sure how to take that. A lot of people say their best ideas come on the toilet or in the shower... Fortunately if you don't want a RMT you don't have to have one

[@ChuddleBuggy]

@@bradybuildz5632 no i didn't mean to bash on the idea. i was just saying that's how it sounded like to me. i'm basically saying it's an outside the box kinda deal, although i do get lots of crazy ideas while in the bathroom too, lol. oh and by crazy ideas i don't mean the criminal kind, lol. it's mostly about how the tp roll should be positioned, or how a panic room should be built around the bathroom, or that garages should have direct access to a bathroom, or why most bathroom sink surfaces are not angled to drain efficiently. :D :D :D

[@musfox_Official]

I use engine yrv turbo on my kelisa. I want make project to mount the turbo at rear bcoz they engine bay so small. Can some one give the size or ratio for hot and cold piping for rear mount turbo. Plz..

[@N0LIMIT.HANGMAN]

Just start off with your stock exhaust, most guys even in high hp build found the stock stuff works better for them. Goal is to keep heat and as much velocity you can in the pipe without the pipe becoming a restriction, any mufflers you can get rid of straight pipe it and add the turbo in the best place you think itll work. Cold side you can usually get away with same size diameter as your exhaust or a tad larger.

[@113_gaming7]

How about running vaccum lines to the waste gate and BOV

[@bradybuildz5632]

Wastegate is the same as always, the wastegate stays near the turbo which is in the back. The BOV is up next to the intercooler so the vacuum line will run from the intake manifold down to the cold side before the intercooler

[@N0LIMIT.HANGMAN]

Put the wastegate closer to where your exhaust merges at the y pipe, x pipe ect, works better there then all the way back by the turbo. Run smaller diameter piping to the turbo and heat wrap it to keep as much heat in as possible. People from the LSX community have found that stock iron manifolds and smaller diameter piping work better then longtubes and shorties with large piping, also the type of material like iron will keep heat in the pipe better then steel. Vaccum is the usual, just have to run longer lines. 🤙🤙 keep up the good work

[@Paninho1808]

in this case the hot box would have to increase or decrease since the turbo is not mounted on the manifold straight to the head

[@bradybuildz5632]

The hotside of the turbo? It all depends on other factors. Piping size and displacement play a roll in trying to find the right turbo size. Sorry for the delayed response, been a busy couple days

[@ezequielgueu8464]

and about the raining days with a lot water on the road?

[@etyrnal]

same question... or driving down a gravel road or dusty road or in the fall

[@jacksonbradshaw8415]

Could u run a rear mounted turbo in a truck with a bed cover? Or is there not enough air?

[@milessalmon2407]

you could make some kind of vent or snorkel to make air flow to that location

[@andersonng1709]

For a 370z where would u put the turbo? Sorry I'm getting my first car soon and I want to plan everything out

[@larmishing]

front mount turbo is best on a 370z, those vq37 motors are solid motors and can handle up to like 900hp on a stock block. but i would recommend a plenum spacer, tune, and exhaust before a turbo kit.

[@bradybuildz5632]

I agree with Tanner! Sorry for the late response, the front kits for the 370 are great. However if this is your first car is highly recommend just learning the car and getting everything you can out of it stock before upgrading it as far as throwing a turbo on there.

[@larmishing]

Brady Buildz yea they’re plenty fast from the factory especially for a new driver

[@bradybuildz5632]

Exactly, jumping to big numbers too quick is a good way for bad things to happen and nobody wants that.

[@scalper6195]

Oilless turbos?

[@stephanbritton]

Does weather affect rear mounted turbos?

[@bradybuildz5632]

Gotta be careful with the intake side of the turbo, depending on the routing of the intake piping rain can cause issues because it'll get sucked up. They make hydro shields for filters but personally I only trust those to a certain point. With extreme weather I wouldn't recommend doing a rear mount set up if you plan to drive the car during that weather

[@stephanbritton]

Brady Buildz thanks

[@chickenfoundation9323]

What about having an independent oil system for the turbos?

[@dennisrobinson8008]

Makes more sense to me

[@marlattmotos]

So there's no exhaust on a rear turbo setup?

[@bradybuildz5632]

Nope, just a turbo. I personally run an exit pipe just so the exhaust goes somewhere other than under my car but no formal exhaust

[@JosePerez-ov3yk]

Would it be good on a 1994 Supra

[@bradybuildz5632]

Depends on the purpose of the car but the engine bay in the Supra is so well suited for turbo there really would be no reason to throw the turbo in the rear unless you just want to do something different

[@JosePerez-ov3yk]

Ok thx
