Turbo opinion

webn237 · 01-30-2018, 07:14 PM

Alright guys I need an opinion on installing my RHB3 turbo to my diesel golf cart. Which way would be best to mount?

1.) Mount direct onto the manifold with exhaust forward. (I would need to make a U shape downpipe to go to exhaust tip. Probably best for intake)
2.) Mount direct onto the manifold with exhaust back. (would need a S shape downpipe to go to the exhaust. The intake would also be close to the body of the cart. )
3.) Mounted offset towards the middle of the motor. Would need to build a pipe to go to turbo. (still need a S shape downpipe. And the intake for turbo would have better chance of getting cooler air.)

Are there any other manifold options? It would be nice to have a center-side exhaust manifold. The middle picture -- 6" extension to turbo -- exhaust straight out over the torque converter -- ---- what compression options are you using? Aftercooler or straight duct work? You have plenty of room, just have to keep the air moving.

I am planning on straight duct work. I will keep an eye on temps. If it gets to hot i will add an intercooler. I cant find any other manifold options. The turbo is rated from 100cc to 900cc so I'm not sure lol. Im new to adding turbos lmao

If you do need an inter cooler look at one from a VW GTI with a 1.8t. It’s perfect cart size and probably the only reliable part in the VW parts bin.

The GTI has two small inter coolers about the size of a phone book, maybe even a little smaller.
