A larger single turbo setup will always have more lag than two smaller turbos in a twin turbo setup. You have to make compromises: if you want high end power, you almost always sacrifice low end torque but if you want low-mid range power, you sacrifice peak power.

jnaut 06-03-2011 01:05 PM

slip the clutch a little more agressively, and you will be outside of the 3k...

I doubt you will notice a difference under 3k at all driving normal or on the drag strip.

dwntwnall4u 06-04-2011 03:53 AM

I'm interested.

Nixlimited 06-04-2011 11:04 AM

Is anyone bothered by the pipe that shows right in the middle from the back with this kit? I think it looks good except for that.

Not really I'm more concerned with that video posted earlier where it sounds like bees in a can. Other than that video the exhaust sounds nice. I
Personnaly getting this kit in the next year or so.

GingaBreadMan 06-07-2011 07:07 PM

I like the power and the price, but the exhaust sounds awful.

GingaBreadMan 06-29-2011 12:01 PM

I decided to purchase the kit, just have to find a shop to install it.

prescott3656 06-29-2011 02:01 PM

install them in your garage

edub370 06-30-2011 12:06 PM

where is most of this 30 hour install time going to? i definately did not expect that much time to put one of these things on

GingaBreadMan 06-30-2011 02:35 PM

I here it's a 16hr job, but I haven't confirmed it.

nvrbacardi 07-01-2011 05:46 AM

I doubt it takes 30 hour to installed this... It's supposed to be a bolt on.
You should start your own thread on this, as it is the first STS in a 370Z that we can have detailed information on it. Good luck ! ! !

dude you obviously didn't read the description of the car. It clearly states "And it also has a Rear Spoiler!!! " I mean I'm sold on it already, just have to find a buyer for my current car now.

edub370 07-13-2011 11:17 AM

They are smoking crack.

I must admit thats a little insane.

roplusbee 07-13-2011 11:38 PM

Wow.........it must have F5 tax on it. It seems to be missing the AE_Performance logos though.....

hell, buying that nismo spoiler separately will cost around $3K so, yeah, $70K, why not?? :rolleyes:

Mabye, they include a dufflebag full of cash or coke in the hatch with purchase. :confused:

stells370 08-10-2011 01:25 PM

bump it up anyone have one of these kits installed yet?

Jamaica 08-10-2011 02:15 PM

sweet ready to hear some results i may do this in the future

Chinook 08-21-2011 07:10 PM

Picked my car up from STS last friday so far so good it's my first turbo car so I don't have much to compare it to. drove approx 1000 miles to get back home and have been driving it a bit more aggressively since and so far no problems. They were able to get 452.49 H.P from baseline run of 298.34 and 390.13 torque from 236.58 at 7 p.s.i I am also running stillen headers and hi flow cats. I purchased the kit through Jamaica at UA motorsports and my experience dealing with him as well as sts was second to none. The only problem so far, for me anyways is it is very loud between 2800 rpm and 3400 rpm they told me I may want to put a resonator in and i definately think i will look at this option.

Deadman 08-21-2011 07:16 PM

VIDS?! Congrats man :)

Dzel 08-21-2011 07:19 PM

Congrats it's nice to hear from someone that has the kit I've spoken with Jam a few times and this is my first choice of FI. I would also like a clip of the kit in action. Is there a lot of rasp?

Chinook 08-21-2011 09:38 PM

There is quite a lot of rasp for a brief time in the power band at the 2800-3200 rpm mark, then the turbo kicks in and it kind of sounds like an exotic followed by the wonderful sound of the B.O.V. and when your slowing down for lights there is quite a nice rumble. I forgot to mention that the dyno numbers are from my car which was run with the base kit without the ball bearing turbo upgrade.

I am glad you have great numbers! You are a great customer and UAM values your business!

How many hours did it take them to install?

an average install would take less then 12 hours.

Mr&Mrs 08-22-2011 01:05 AM

I need to hear this kit the only videos I can find sound like garbage. Please get some vids and or sound clips up.

FastPaced 08-23-2011 03:48 PM

^Yes please!

wheee! 08-23-2011 03:57 PM

I have seen and heard Chinooks setup and I am impressed with the performance. However, the rasp and noise level of the exhaust at that 2500-3000 rpm range is quite distracting and excessive. A resonator would definitely help.

...but where to put it?

In between the exhaust manifolds and the turbo. You run risks of pieces of the resonator coming apart (which most likely won't happen) and sucking in to the turbo which will result in damage.

The turbo isn't creating the rasp... it's the serious lack of any type of resonation in the whole exhaust system.

Also, is there cats on this set up? Are there any safeguards against peices of the cat coming loose and getting sucked in to the turbo?

This whole setup is mind boggling. I want to see pictures of all the components not installed.

I am running Stillen hfc's After speaking with STS yesterday I had a baffle style resonator installed today. it sounds much better now. toned it down and now you can really hear the sound of the turbo being how its right at the tailpipes. So far STS has been very quick to respond to any questions i have had, their customer support seems to be great.

I am glad it worked out. I bet you love hearing the BOV!
