has nothing to do with the price of a turbo comapred to a sc by themselves.

StillenZ you take your X up the the 1/4 there in Muncie? I'll be taking my Z up there once the turbo setup is done.. hopefully next week..

StillenZ 10-02-2010 02:43 PM

Let me know if you go. I'd love to see that bad boy. I've been talking about going out, but seems like I'm busy every time there is a test and tune. I think they quit running in late Oct. or definitely November..Need to check the site.

But no, I haven't had my car out since stock back in June. Now that I have all the mods, I don't know what she'll run. I think another reason I haven't gone out is cause I'm still on the stock clutch and it scares the crap out of me to launch it hard. But I guess I can always baby it. Can't wait to see that TT set up. You should put some vids up for sure.

I decided not to do any mods until I here from them. Their turn-key kits go for $5k. I don't wanna waste money on unnecessary mods.

I spoke with them about 5 months ago, and expressed interest in being one of their test mules. I was quoted out about $7k WITH free install and said forget it. I understand this was because on their test mules they want the best stuff, but honestly I was looking for something around $4-$5k and didn't mind installing myself if it's as plug and play as they say. I would totally jump on a $5k TT setup that comes with EVERYTHING you need.

Single turbo kit will retail for $6495 and include front mounted intercooler,blow off valve injectors and tuning...

StillenZ 10-13-2010 08:41 AM

wow...that is nuts..are those your dyno numbers bigbody? That looks really good...definitely better than the s/c kits out...Nice!

danielw 10-13-2010 08:49 AM

specs on the turbo?

Nixlimited 10-13-2010 01:44 PM

Pictures of the install?

atx370z 10-13-2010 02:05 PM

The dyno sheets posted earlier were on STS tune... the car is now at Uprev. Pics taken this morning. :D Single exhaust on the passenger side... other side looks like exhaust, but its the dump tube. Heading back down to the shop in about an hour. Hopefully they will be doing some dyno pulls so i can get some video.

danielw 10-13-2010 02:43 PM

turbo specs please?

Nixlimited 10-13-2010 03:37 PM

Any chance this will pass CARB in CA since it is all post-emissions equipment?

fuct 10-13-2010 04:11 PM

i dont understand having a fan blowing on the turbo from behind like that??? when your hauling *** the only air available back there is what was channeled under the car and out the back. not directly blowing from behind.

RCZ 10-13-2010 04:23 PM

Looks cool, looks exactly like what Jnaut wants to do.

more pics of the rest!

cotizi 10-13-2010 06:51 PM

Is this car still at Uprev? I'd like to drop by and see it if so. I live about 5 min away. Very interested in what this setup can do.

Edit: Nvm. gonna head down to Uprev later tonight and check it out.

Phimosis 10-14-2010 04:15 AM

Looking sweet! Power output looks great too. I wanna see the video and hear that sweet STS sound!!

I wondered that myself... PLUS with these systems, you want the turbo to be as hot as possible, the more the turbo heats up the quicker it spools.

danielw 10-14-2010 09:40 AM

looks like the curve could be a little bit fatter with an ebc too

Q8y_drifter 10-14-2010 10:31 AM

they're blowing into the air filter I'm assuming.

CBRich 10-14-2010 11:16 AM

So this was the car from the other thread . . .

Fantastic numbers.

wishihadnav 10-14-2010 12:01 PM

nice setup!!

RCZ 10-14-2010 12:07 PM

what kind of intercooler are you running and where did you put the mafs? obviously its blowthrough, but did you do it like gen3 intake 2-1 style or what?

Red370 10-14-2010 03:03 PM

Jnaut :owned:

:icon17:

RCZ 10-14-2010 06:16 PM

I was talking to jnaut and his take on the project is quite different, so not really haha.

Yeah, no...

The more heat the turbo system is allowed to contain up until the turbine nozzle, the better. Beyond that, you want things to be cool as with anything else. Introducing heat or allowing turbo components to heat soak does nothing for performance.

It's the exhaust charge that you want to remain hot - that is, of a high velocity (in this case the exhaust charge loses energy through lost heat). STS coats their piping inside and out to help with this. Looks like the turbine housing has a blanket on it as well so more insulation there.

The fan is doing nothing there except helping flow some fresh air to the intake.

pricing: 6400 for full kit with tuning.

RCZ 10-15-2010 03:16 PM

For this???

NO way, i would figure the only reason anyone would do this is to save money. For $6400 you might as well go GTM TT>

theDreamer 10-15-2010 03:17 PM

Still waiting on a proper dyno graph.
For 6,400 I would jump on a SC which yields the same power with less piping or a little more and you get a TT kit.

Not sure about that, that single turbo will make more power than the sc kits.

I mean its making 470@7psi...which sc unit makes that much?

The turbos got us beat on raw power :(

Jamaica 10-15-2010 03:44 PM

7 psi 474 to the wheel.
can gtm do that? i dont think so

I'd like to see the dyno graphs and more datalogging on it.

theDreamer 10-15-2010 03:46 PM

Its peak power is above us, but both SC kits match it point for point until around 6.5-7k RPM range and both SC kits get peak torque well before it.
Using the dyno graph from above it hits peak torque above 5k while the SC kits are well into peak TQ before that. I think the built is interesting but still not 100% with the limited information we have.

me wanttt now!

have you owned a rear mount kit? I have. We considered putting a turbo blanket on the turbo. The hotter the turbo gets the quicker it spools up.

Cell 10-17-2010 09:30 AM

The kit has been completed for a while now. How come there is no official info on it. No data logs, no dyno graphs, no graphs of any sorts or official numbers.

What is going on?

Jamaica 10-17-2010 01:00 PM

there graph and dynos already. need to look
