Scion FR-S rear mount turbo setup

FRS Rear Turbo - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum - FT86CLUB

Just finished doing my rear turbo project on the FRS. Trying to be as inconspicuous as possible for the California crowd. I'm using a comp turbo oil-less with water cooling. () The little extra lines you see in the pix will be the water cooling lines besides the very little line for the BOV. The turbo is cooled with water that runs through the same lines as your heater core. It is in the same location as the muffler. The whole system can be reverted back to stock in a couple hours. It retains the catalytic cover as it is a $2500 ticket in california for removal. I did this because I wanted to feel the the difference between stock and turbo. There is a lot of excitement for the Don Accelerated system but since I'm in California there's no way we can do this without trailering everywhere because of our smog laws. So I bent them instead of breaking them. So here it is without the splash shield. Although in California a splash shield is needed about twice a year. Sorry if you live in the other 49 states. Also, I don't have dyno numbers, or fuel economy. or what ever else you can come up with, I'm only having fun, and at this point I'm grinning ear to ear. Jack

I want to hear more about the setup that puts a turbo where the cat is located....

He said he left the cat alone, this is mounted where the muffler is.

I feel if this car was tracked, the consequences of accidentally going off track would be much worse with all that shit under the car.

There was talk of a different setup in the actual thread. I actually read it. Check this. Way more awesome.

Way more awesome indeed. I'm impressed, reading now.

It's not a huge number but it boosts power where it's needed. Looks like full spool is in the 3500 range which isnt bad at all.

I could see myself buying one of these cars in like 2 years (I'll wait for the Subaru bugs to be worked out).

They pack it with grease and cool it with water. They are made by comp turbo and are some really nice lookin pieces of work. They range from tiny mm to 80 or so in the oil less I think. They also make them in a regular journal bearing type for cheaper.

THAT IS WILD... IVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

It sounds scary honestly.

 

[Yaj Yak]

sounds awesome.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

It certainly simplifies adding a turbo to a car. I'm surprised they don't do a similar setup to a self contained centrifugal.

All Procharger units are self oiled, unless you are referring to the grease type

Wtf are you talking about?

I was saying instead of using grease in these oil less turbos I'm surprised they don't use the self contained oil setup like most centrifugals do these days....
