just took two clicks to find.

dyno looks amazing. Thinking about ordering hmmm =]. Just need more information on it. Maybe a special release? More pictures? etc

whos car is this? pics of the intercooler/ t.b ? does look cool, there are a few things I would do different but good job over all! where did you run the piping through the crossmember?

want more pics ! want more everything *credit card in hand* lol =]

Have you:

- built over a dozen engines to various specifications for street/strip/ridiculous power output usage
- ported and polished cylinder heads for high-output turbo V6 applications to optimize top-end while maintaining spool
- designed and reworked turbo piping for a transverse-mount V6 to produce optimal spool
- ported cast turbo manifolds to equalize runner length and balance flow
- personally rebuilt various turbochargers after failures
- chosen a turbo for a particular application, spending months researching compressor efficiency maps and simulating engine output
- tuned half a dozen separate high-specific-output cars on various tuning platforms for supercharged/NA/turbocharged power
- dedicated yourself to personally researching engine and turbocharger technology for the past 5 years, developing and innovating new ideas for your own projects

:owned:

You're barking up the wrong tree. What I stated is 100% accurate; what you have to present is how a newbie would explain why "more heat" is better for a turbocharged setup. :tiphat:

PV=NRT I'm just sayin...

Hotter turbo (housing) means nothing.

Exactly.

It's all about exhaust gas velocity, and a higher exhaust charge temperature is indicative of that. Like I said in my previous post, what is important is how well your pre-turbine-housing piping and turbine housing keep energy (read: heat and velocity) from escaping the exhaust system. With piping that is coated inside and out, and a turbine housing that may or may not be coated with an insulating blanket, there is no harm with a lot of cool air being blown around the turbo. End of story.

so we want HAI?

Nope, you want cold air on the compressor side of the turbo, fast and hot air (aka exhaust) on the turbine side. Generally speaking, that is. :)

STS definitely knows what they're doing. It's already an improvement over the 350Z rear mount design because it looks like they replaced the mid-pipe with a bigger-diameter piece that appears to be coated (presumably inside and out). The 350Z setup used the stock mid-pipe by default.

I certainly hope they're not using HPC coatings any more since they went out of business here in Utah. The best option IMO is from Swain Tech. HPC sucks.

I'd love to get a better view of all the intake and exhaust piping. Is the turbo water cooled?

I know I was just trying to :stirthepot: some

Where is the air intake filter exactly and how do they keep it from getting dirty too fast?

hopefully the oiling sysem isn't anything like the 350z one, installed one for one of my guys and the pump was on the other end of 12ft of 3/8 id hose from a tiny nipple on the turbo. it sucked so bad he had oil bypassing the seals at idle filing the intake piping and shooting out the exhaust so bad that when his BOV opened it would spray oil in his engine bay. We had the turbo inspected and it was like new, then i machined the oil fitting on the turbo out to 1/2 npt with a 5/8 id lineto the pump, relocated the pump to the back to reduce restriction and give the pump an easier life pumping oil, then we ran 1/2id back to the front of the engine and wouldntcha know it it just stopped leaking.

wow you're so awesome... I wish I could be like you when I grow up you fearsome keyboard warrior you.

I didn't say anything about blowing hot air into the engine like you're making it out.
