well,it's not a commodore. simple as that really. running a twin 2 1/2" system,I'm not getting any backpressure,and it DOES sound good,I've had plenty of people say this to me,it's not just me trying to make myself look good or anything,I don't give a toss about what other people think of me and what I drive.
there isn't enough space under the car for turbos and plumbing,unless you want to jack the suspension UP and be paranoid about damaging them everytime you go over a speed hump.
my exhaust scrapes where it joins the factory cats as it is and the car is only ~2" lower than std. get under the car yourself and find two places that you can fit something 8" in diameter and a foot long,plus plumbing,I doubt you will find space that's anywhere near the exhaust.
the only way I can see it getting done,it to remove the hydraulic cooling fan setup,and run twin thermos in front of the condenser,and then put two non intercooled S15 std turbos (why bother with 2510's it's not a CA18) in-between the engine and the radiator. even then the plumbing will be interesting,and how you'll get water and oil into and out of the turbos is still iffy. you'll have bugger all ground clearance still,as you'll have to run the twin exhausts out under the sump,as there will be no room to go back out through the std positions alongside the block. believe me,I've owned my celsior for 8months now,and have looked at this more than once. an underbonnet blower is the best option,and kits are already available both locally and out of Japan.
if you wanted to REALLY spend some cash on the engine,C's do a 5L stroker kit as well as a blower. there's also an 8 throttle manifold kit and cams available out of NZ if you want to chase NA power.
my car is daily driven,and was bought with the same usage in mind as yours: to tow my fun car. I'd like a bit more power out of it,but have to be realistic with how far I go with something that has to be completely reliable. I plan to clean up the front half of the exhaust,throw in a couple of gauges to keep a closer eye on it,and put in a unichip to lean off the stupidly rich mixtures they run std. that's it. anymore and it's getting too far away from it's intended purpose.
good luck with your car.
Justin...
