Default Questions for the turbo guys.

Has anybody tried moving the radiator to the back of the car? Maybe in the spare tire area? Looking at the C4 it doesnt look like there is alot of room in the engine compartment to put a turbo. Im thinking about building a C4 with an LS motor and a turbo and just trying to decide if I should just keep my car (Mustang) or put everything in a C4.

My other question is ,If you have a turbo C4 could you post pics? Im just looking for ideas.

Thanks.

Do a search, the forum member "COPO" has already done an LS-x turbo swap without moving the radiator from the existing location.

Also LCVETTE has done a single front-mount on the LT-x engine making over 900rwhp.

I think the problem is that the URL where the pictures used to be is no longer available. Almost all of the pictures are located at URLs like the following.

I'd love to see the pictures of your older custom intercooler setup. If you don't have another place to host them you can email them and I can put them up.

if they closed down where they were stored which was my old original corvette forum folder, then they are lost to this world because the computers the pictures were on are long gone.... depressing...
