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....

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...

cool

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.

Thanks for the post

Well if the 350Z can make 360 HP then the 370Z should be close to 400 hp safely. From that site with the 350Zs I didnt see anyone that had it put on then had bad things happen but I only went about 7 pages into it.

It got ugly with customer service. Some really shady ****. Apparently all that got fixed but daaaaaamn. I read every page. I'm sure they've turned **** around since that incident was two years ago but eh, we'll see.

Zguy · 02-20-2010, 09:05 AM

yea I have been all over that thread in the past.... I havnt checked it out in over a year....

YouTube - 2008 350Z HR Motor - Custom Rear Mount Turbo Kit + Osiris Tune Z Fever

That's the HR motor. I can only imagine what could be done to the VHR...But that customer service incident hurt them badly.

Zguy · 02-23-2010, 06:38 PM

I guess this thread is pretty much dead... Noone that was looking into it has posted

kdoske · 02-23-2010, 06:57 PM

STS's loss really. If they don't show any initiative then oh well. Plenty of calls have been made to them. After looking at their kit pricing more it makes sense to spend the extra grand and just go with a SC IMO.

StillenZ · 02-23-2010, 07:10 PM

Ya I've been tryin not to say much... I'd love to see someone get somewhere with this but who knows if its gonna happen. I know eventually it will but I don't think its going to be in the time frame that I am hoping for.

GingaBreadMan · 02-24-2010, 09:30 AM

I'm going to be patient. I'm well ahead of my plans for TT's. Even in stock form my Z and I are world beaters. After 8 months of ownership I'm still enjoying the power and handling and I'm looking forward to having the Z for the entire spring and summer. I am giving STS a pass. If you gave your car to any company doing TT's you would have to wait 4-5 months to have it installed. I don't need to be the first person in my area with forced induction.
