sideways turbo

[whenmunkysfly]

y dont you ever see a turbo pointing sideways so the downpipe can go streaght down maybe not on a supra but y do you neer see this is there something i dont know about turbos?

 

[Suprapowaz!(2)]

Then you would have to worry about the inlet point up right? Or are you talking about sidways like Buick GN style?

I think he means with the compressor inlet pointing straight up....

And its not a good idea for lubrication reasons....oil will get all coked up in the turbo because of a lack of drainage.....

on most aftermarket turbos they have a rotating housing so you can point them any way you wanna pipe it

exactly. the CHRA has to be oriented w/the drain facing straight down to ensure proper drain of the oil...
