I'll have to check, but I don't think either of the RMT cars have LSD.

On an auto, LSD will put the torque to the ground but it is in my opinion, better without LSD in an auto, for purposes of keeping traction under kickdown in corners.

Question... is it LSD equipped? My shark is not. But that can be fixed.

interesting... good point. It's already easy to spin the tires in stock form without LSD, though. I would think the added turbo torque would severly aggravate that condition. Apparently not!

Heinrich raises a good point, too many A/T owners have lost it when they've floored it at the Apex only to have the car downshift and the back end kick out.
I disconnected my kick down switch a long time ago, and I have my tranny set up to shift smooth, not hard. When you shift manually you set up the corner so, like a five speed, you're already in the correct gear before you get on the gas. With the LSD the car will really charge out of the corners. It's not pretty seeing the one wheelers spin the unweighted tire in a turn when the car isn't leaning on the drive wheel.

When Andy K drove his first supercharged car at the Streets of Willow he was smoking that inside wheel from corner to corner

Any info on what the sizing is? Its supposed to be a kind of smaller exhaust side, with a larger cold side to make up for the pipe length.


Even if there is lag, it seems like something interesting to play with on a second car.

Well...I'm done playing with my free sample ...that one is now on Chucks car (makeing 400plus hp at 7ish pounds)..it's amazing what a few years and a sharktuner can do (sharktuner is the big plus in tuning....the SMT works but takes a lot of work).

As far as 30% of all sales. haha...yea..buy buy buy...Rear Turbo is the best !!! LOL....

Brendan...email JT or Chuck at the posted link...I'm sure they can help you with your questions...

Here is a conversation at junkyardturbos about turbo sizing:

http://www.junkyardturbos.com/forum/...opic.php?t=733

He says the twin turbo vette (big motor) uses two small T3/T4s.

The guy with the infinity 4.5L has a T70 with a .68 a/r. That probably spools a bit later but will not clog up at the higher rpms.

I think this may be a good bet - the cold side may be too small though:
