STS Systems

motoextreme · 02-09-2010, 12:19 PM

Looking good boys....

Had a long talk with them, like my idea but need to run it by the top brass. If its a go I'll let you all know.

Really great guys by the way and to their defense, they are working on SO many projects right now. Just wrapped up the 2010 Camaro V8, working on the 6 cyl now. They are working on a couple of Chrysler cars right now etc etc...

Long story short, they are slammed BUT, don't worry, we have an answer so as soon as I get the thumbs up then I'll send you an update. He did mention that we should seriously think about sticking with a single turbo, they have hit some HUGE #'s with them and the duals are really overkill for our application but he also understand the bragging rights that go along with duals

I for one appreciate that comment, rather then selling us something we may not need, if we can get more reliability, strong HP and a cheaper price point...has my attention! We'll see.

Look for updates, I feel really good about this. I'll have to invest some $ but in the end it may prove worthwhile.

Updates coming soon!

Great job partner!!!

kdoske · 02-09-2010, 02:21 PM

cool, I guess I'll wait a few months to see if the kit ever becomes available before buying the universal kit from them. I really want to install the kit myself. Should be fun!

schrute · 02-09-2010, 04:36 PM

I just got off the phone with Andrew. I offered to drive over and let them have a look at my car if that would help. They said today wasn't good for them - my next day off is in a week so I offered to bring it in then. If my schedule opens up I may be able to get it in sooner.

Great news guys! Can't wait to see results.

Cool, glad you finally got a hold of them

This kit sounds promising.
I'm surprised he recommended a single turbo, is he aware that we have DTB's?
A single turbo would mean some type of new intake or custom intercooler would have to be designed and made. Maybe he has something else in mind. Anyway, in for updates on this one.

just need a Y pipe or take a twin turbo intercooler and flip it upside down.

StillenZ · 02-11-2010, 10:10 AM

So I know nothing about how a Y-pipe would affect anything, so I am just going off what I have read and could be wrong... but didn't someone say that a Y-pipe would cause different air flow to go through to the two sides... like one side could be getting more air than the other causing MAF to read wrong or something... Someone educate me here please? I thought a simple Y-pipe wouldn't cut it?

Zguy · 02-11-2010, 10:42 AM

I would assume you are talking about coming from the turbo.... You would have your headers, to test pipes/Cats, to a Y pipe, to the turbo, Then you would have one charge pipe from the Turbo to a 1 inlet 2 outlet intercooler that would split the air equally to the 2 mafs. Granted im sure it wouldnt always be a perfect distribution. im sure it wouldnt be much of a difference between sides. Remember the 2 intakes feed the same chamber in the intake plenum. Air pressures would equalize pretty quickly. If each intake only fed one bank of the engine then you would have to make sure the boost coming in was equal.

I learn something new every day... even if I do come off as a newb lol... Thanks man

Zguy · 02-13-2010, 11:34 AM

its all good

I spend a lot of time reading these forums and I have built a few boosted cars in my day.. Learning is the reason we are all here....

schrute · 02-16-2010, 12:15 PM

I stopped by STS today. Met some cool guys and got a quick tour of their shop. Impressive setup. They looked at my Z a bit but wanted me to bring it back later in the week when they have an open rack so they could get a better look underneath (all their racks had cars on them). I gave them my cell number and said I'd be happy to bring it back, just let me know.

I got to see one of the newer cars they are working on - seeing it in person this remote turbo setup makes a lot more sense to me now. Looks like a good system. Isn't it nice to have options? Hopefully STS has something for the Z soon...

kdoske · 02-16-2010, 12:42 PM

cool

kdoske · 02-16-2010, 01:37 PM

Here is the STS system from the 350z forum. It actually changed my mind about going with a remote mount. I think and i'm gonna go with a SC setup instead. I read all the way to page 40. I'm not gonna sit here and bash because i am not an STS customer but you can read this forum and gather your own conclusions.

In a couple of months if I don't have my SC yet and STS get's a few of their kits installed on the 370z I might still go this route if the results are good, but I am not going to be the first.
