I can only imagine very small twin turbos being able to produce full boost in that range. No matter how STS puts it, their kits will be provide more turbo lag due to the length in piping. Hell, my turbo isn't that big and I see bull boost around 3500rpms.

Based on the reviews people haven't had a concern with the so called lag. I will be in Utah next week talking to Steve and his employees about the kit. In all honesty you won't know till you drive one. I'm hoping for good results. Plus why would they put out a kit I'd try think it has to much lag or won't work?

Oh, I'm not saying it's going to have horrible lag! The length of the piping shouldnt affect turbo lag by more than a couple hundred RPMs. Our engines redline at 7500, so as long as boost comes on before 4500, I'd be happy. I'd take a guess that full boost will come on around 3500-3700rpms.

But like you said...we won't know until there are reviews.

Why did STS choose a single turbo system instead of twin turbos, and what are the advantages/disadvantages of a single rear mount turbo over twin?

If you look on there website this what they specialize in.

I would also like to see more pictures of this set up as well of the front of the car intercooler piping etc.

docaam 06-04-2011 06:22 AM

Footloose301 06-04-2011 06:40 AM

This is what STS specialize in. More pics will be displayed with both installs.

PM me the price of the kit also.

Thanks

dwntwnall4u 06-04-2011 04:29 PM

I would like pricing please.

Flyboy 06-04-2011 10:28 PM

Please PM me a price

I found this episode of 2 guys garage where they bolt it on a camaro and explain everything in detail.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnFA9...eature=related

I don't trust sounds from videos but that sounds pretty raspy.

370z owner 06-05-2011 01:19 AM

pm price please

dwntwnall4u 06-05-2011 02:40 AM

Sounds wicked! But that may be problem here in California. I wonder how quiet you could make the exhaust? I'd be concerned about drawing too much unwanted attention from LE.

dwntwnall4u 06-05-2011 02:41 AM

Sorry double post.

someday 06-05-2011 04:04 AM

I'm curious about the price as well. Send me a pm. Do you handle the international shipping?

docaam 06-05-2011 05:39 AM

Hey drew still waiting for pricing? it's decision time you know that :)

VQinside 06-05-2011 11:05 AM

I was hoping this kit would be cheaper taken that its only 1 turbo and there
aren't any manifolds required.

My logic is:
the pipes are pretty much the same distance as an exhaust system so I'm guessing $1,500 on that. I'm not sure what the turbo costs but I'm guessing
$1,200 then an intercooler maybe like $500. not sure what that oil pump thing costs but lets say $500 to that I will add $200 on other hardware parts.
thats a total of $3,900.

Thats how much I would hope this turbo kit would cost.
I'm still really concern on scraping this entire system on speed bumps etc.

With the items you listed, your still missing a few key parts. You still have to add injectors, wastegate, bov, UpRev Tuning and fuel pump.

About the exhaust concerns, its not lower then fast intentions. The nismo is the picture is dropped and there is no issues or concerns.

VQinside 06-05-2011 01:12 PM

do you need to remove cats with this system?
I believe you mentioned muffler options?
the one in the video is very raspy.
Is this pretty much the same kit as the 350z?

Your able to use the stock cats . The kit wit the 350z is different from the 370z. Have different piping. I have a video of an 07 350z with an hr engine making over 500 to the wheels

+1 on the cats!!:tup:

Flyboy 06-05-2011 07:32 PM

It looks like someone with a hacksaw could cut two pipes and steal the turbo very quickly.. This would have me concerned. is the turbo bolted to the car at any point?

Do you have any pics of the complete Kit not on the car?

VQinside 06-05-2011 08:41 PM

seems like this turbo set up doesn't need the dual exhaust tips.
I'm very curious to see some reviews.
correct me if I'm wrong but at 5psi you don't really need an intercooler.
Is this an option for the kit?

Matthew 06-05-2011 09:41 PM

This looks great. Can u pm me the price

No its not an option. An intercooler is required with this kit.

yea down for pricing... if you need anybody in the southeast region "ATLANTA, GA" I am your man. ;)

VQinside 06-07-2011 02:41 PM

I have this kit totally on my sight I just want to read some reviews.
It's crazy but from all the research I've done, its seems like there is almost no turbo lag in most applications.

RedBullRR 06-07-2011 03:29 PM

Really Like this kit. Please pm price, thanks.

[QUOTE=Mr.Squeeze;1149149]If you look on there website this what they specialize in.

I wanted to know why they chose a single set-up for the 370z over a twin set-up. Most of the vehicles on their site have twin turbos. I'm aware STS specializes in rear mount turbos.

I'M interested in a single due to the fact that I dont want that TT shock hit my internals once boost hits. I'll be running stock internals for a good 5 Years before I upgrade any internals. No one else makes a single for the 370Z other than 98's custom set up.

Ron 06-08-2011 08:44 AM

hmm well, 11psi on a TT produces the same "shock" as 11psi on a single turbo.. the only difference is power delivery. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Dzel 06-08-2011 08:48 AM

I'll be rinning 6psi DD, 8-10 psi on track days. The single turbo is some what like a SC it gives you a gradual climb in power and torque. TT set ups are almost an instant hit in power great for stroked out blocks, but not in my case.
