Twin Turbos removed
At Corey Henderson's suggestion the twin turbo system has been removed from myb90 ZR-1. Oil was getting past the turbos and up to the engine. Could have maybe found a solution, but Corey felt that the system was "an accident waiting to happen". He is not a fan of rear mounted turbos, and especially with with turbos being so low on the car making it difficult to scavenge the oil.

Re: Twin Turbos removed
Sorry to hear this, Ron. I know you were patient
for a LONG time. Plans? Ted

Re: Twin Turbos removed
Getting back to engine suggests oil getting into compressor hsg. I have never looked at the rear mount installs, but what is the angle that they are mounted at wrt horizontal and what does the compressor inlet look like.

Re: Twin Turbos removed
This is the best picture I have when the turbos were installed. A couple of pictures of the system after being removed. The system that Ron Hanselman had on his car did not have
a problem with the oil getting to the engine. I don't know how or where his turbos were installed. My turbos were upgraded to bigger and ball bearings.
