Boost District has the C8 market on lock. They produce turbo kits that face the other direction and have a center exit like the Z06’s as well. I’ve asked them about it before and the power is identical and IAT’s, which would be a good indication of whether they were taking in exhaust gases, are identical between the kits. The factory rear skid plate has a spot in it to allow the low pressure under the car to be removed, which naturally brings in clean air into the turbos. It’s a pretty cool system if you dig deeper into it.
The exhaust is a big issue, but another issue is moving air is less dense and it’s likely to throw the whole compressor map to the left and make the turbo go into surge and destroy itself, when it otherwise wouldn’t
Yes it sucks up exhaust but all things considered it is a nominal loss. The volume of air coming out of the exhaust vs the volume of air that occupies that entire zone.
@@YDBT4LIFE driving on the highway with traffic your engine air inlet is sucking in ambient air that is contaminated with exhaust gases. Dispersion and dilution of the exhaust gases with ambient air would make the contamination nominal.
@@DrewPWebos maybe because it's a supply issue I'm not sure... I wouldn't think there'd be a supply issue but maybe not want to pay a certain amount for parts issue. Not sure though.
The air coming out of the exhaust is mostly carbon. Oxygen is what is needed to make a controlled explosion. The air on a corvette mostly creates downforce... meaning the air that's coming into the turbos is mostly hot air and doesn't produce pressure as fast... thus... TURBO LAG AND THEN DETONATION. I'd take my stock 5.0 against this guy in an autocross because i know eventually he is going to have a motor issue. I may win... i may not. But i know my engine will be healthy in the end.
E-Ray is definitely my only C8 pick. That AWD is what you need for a daily
Above 800WHP.
It looks like it's placed in a nice low-pressure area where all that engine heat sits in a nice warm pocket.
It’s not in the engine bay.
@RadDadisRad where does the heat go when the car is in motion?
@@kyedohlman1401 no different than other low pressure void on a vehicle such as wheel wells.
@RadDadisRad wheel wells are a high-pressure area... and isolated from engine bay heat.

In the rain those filters will be covered in dirt. The middle part of a Vette’s back bumper is always the dirtiest from grime

@@RadDadisRad you want nothing but clean air going into the combustion

Exhaust def gets trapped on the back of the car at speed, I’ve seen C7 ZR1s melt logo on the rest cover at the track
I like the built in EGR for emissions. Lol
Why does Fore inov take 500 weeks to ship? 😠🤦♂️

Alex let me know if I'm wrong...
👍
Bro your too much. And you have no idea wtf you’re taking about.
@@sortedsupercars4431 your 9 subs tell me you know way more than I do.
Please educate us if you know more than @ydbt4life I'll even take bets.
Hater!!!
Lol someones booty tickled
Aww look Alex you got a fanboy 😂
