Stealth Turbo

[combatantsomeone]

hi
Is it possible to hide a turbo(s) successfully to the point of only being able to see them from beneath, thus greatly reducing the chance of police finding them? also is there a way to silence them or reduce generic turbo noise? (P Plater lol)

thanx

... search username Xoom and see his 2ZZ-GTE build

but I guess that's more specific for that engine though as the exhaust headers are on the back of the engine towards the firewall

echo with a turbo, good luck finding that hiding down there.

if you have a freeflow/straight thru exhaust or a pod then you will hear it no matter what you do.

but if it was all well thought out yes you could get the noise down but only with small amounts of boost ie below 5psi.

if you have an sv21 like what your profile says, then good luck trying to hide it. you'd see that so easily the minute you lift the bonnet.

Thanks for the feedback
yea i have an sv21 at the moment but i am in the process of looking for an ma70/71 Supra and was wondering about turbo options for that

[rob]

put it in the glove box

i saw a car in zoom a while back with it mounted under the car.

just bash the floor pan under the seat up and shuv it in there. Im guessing it wont be too big?

have to get a plumb back bov to reduce noise.

Last time I got pulled over (P plater driving an R33) the coppers went looking under the car.

If you get caught with something like this, you will have your licence removed straight away.

Secondly: You're classed as driving an unregd, uninsured vehicle, there's a few more thousand dollar fines.

Don't be a knob, just wait your time.

It means everyone else is 100 times safer, and will be better off financially.

Oh, and before you say "I won't crash it" a mate of mine has crunched his turbo car twice since owning it, since he wasn't used to how a turbo drove. He's also been off his P's for a few years now.

Secondly. Change the exhaust. It's illegal.
Change the air filter to a pod. It's illegal.

You'll be reamed something shocking.

Plumb backs are still quite noticeable especially if you run a pod, I run a stock turbo on my R33 and it can be heard just driving normally.

Also, how do you plan to hide the FMIC or SMIC?
Piping going everywhere?

Lastly, half the highway patrol I've come across, used to be mechanics, the other half are just twits.

[combatantsomeone]

lol ok then there goes that plan... lol

Secondly. Change the exhaust. It's illegal.

No changing exhausts now eh? Jeez, half of toymods must be driving illegal cars.

It's a "performance" modification in the eyes of the law.
These are the laws we live with.

[MR22ZZ]

just to clarify... it's illegal for P platers, not for everyone

[Kyosho]

Yes, sorry, for P-platers in NSW, not everyone

[fatboy13]

not all p-platers the rules only apply to those who got their p's after the laws came into effect

[indeecent]

Yep, I side with Kyosho, sure you can put a turbo on, but if you get caught, bam, massive fines and loss of licence (rules are real harsh)

Next is, as you start to move the turbo further down the exhaust you are losing heat and therefore the turbo gets less 'drive'...

Keep what you have for the moment, keep improving technique on lower powered vehicles, then work your way up.
