remote mount junkyard turbo 86 idi
Hey guys, I just got my first idi 3 weeks ago, and for 2 weeks and 6 days I've been wanting more power. Don't get me wrong, its a powerful truck, and the 4 speed with the creeper snaps stumps like tooth picks, but I want more cruzing power for interstate merging, and maybe a few yards of burnt rubber whenever I see a pushy Honda in the rear view
. I turned the Ip up 1 1/2 flats, and it made a difference. Not huge but its there. The smoke is nice too for the pushy Honda
. What I am wondering is, has anyone ever put a t3t4 on an idi (i have The old one from my acura ls turbo b4 i went to ball bearing) and how would I go about finding a hot side inlet that will convert the regular exhaust pipe from the y pipe to the t3t4 flange. Is this going to have to be a custom peice, or does someone make them? I want to do a remote mount turbo under the bed, put a remote oil tank for the turbo in a tool box in the bed, and possibly run a water to air intercooler. I have experimentation with my acura with water to air, but diesel might be different, especially because heat soak is a big obstical with w2a. Any input appreciated

To my knowledge no one makes a remote mount turbo setup because that's alot of hassle for no gain. The turbo kits out there already pull full potential out of these engines. Water to air is awesome no matter the application. Before you start getting crazy you have a long list of engine mods. To do to support everything else. I.e. Head studs injectors Injection pump. Just find a used turbo kit and mod it from there. All the fancy stuff won't get you far. But that's just mho
