#10 Re: reverse rotation turbos for the A series

not as direct for drawthrough which is essential for efficiency
and would look so compact and neat making the setup a breeze

Why not just use a regular turbo and position it 180 around?

regular turbos don't seem to need convoluted piping

locally here they were released as the holden Gemini :)
Heavy but solid offerings with good suspension and bullet proof engines

The reverse turbos would suit these type of manifolds for a cleaner direct into the manifold install

Do you remember the 1981 Isuzu I-Mark diesel? It got incredible fuel economy and was sporty to drive (albeit a little slow). If only some company now would make an inexpensive rwd thrifty car like used to be available (1200s, I-Mark, etc).

Yes thats correct it will facilitate the inlet side to make it as compact as possible when using either a stock manifold or custom inlet

Im not keen on spending that much would prefer a modern fwd diesel turbo with the same placement or rotation etc

DD, it allows for a straight shot towards the head instead of curving something chronic

I've seen mirror image turbos for a pair on a v8...

how does it simplify turbo'ing a 1200?

Does this just mean that the compressor is on the opposite side of the turbine ?
Don't get it unless different orientation options are the key.

just wondering if anyone knows of other reverse rotation turbos?
they would simplify the setup for carb draw through apps
eg.
