Man, the JWT kit is a beast. Traction must be a real problem based on the 60'. Could have been a variety of things though.......

SharpByCoop · 01-21-2012, 10:38 AM

^^^ What is this chart from? Thanks.

"but in the end...." Huh? Complete race cars up there. The OP's premise starts at the beginning. I get your point, but it's irrelevant to a first time build.

How so? The thread states (to sum it up) that the TT kits are superior to a ST kit on a VQ, yet the top two of the best, verified drag strip slips on the VQ are using ST kits.

One of them is an ls2 ........ Fail

This thread is cracks me up...everything stated is pretty common knowledge if you are in the industry. Twin turbos spool faster and seem like a better choice for street use....Singles are more efficent and have a higher ceiling for growth then smaller twins....no ****.

I think the issue is the definition of street use. What if a guy wants a bigger single for a lil delayed TQ and wants it up higher in the RPM range and more room for growth without having to practically drop the motor out to switch up turbos. Maybe the guy for steet use doesnt want instant TQ and boost blowing off the tires everytime he is half throttle...

So the other guys wants twins and quicker spool so he feels it in the chest and the car feels faster. Maybe he thinks twins on his 370z is the same as buying a GTR....who knows?

This is America, if a company makes a good product it will sell(whether it has 1 or 2 turbos). If it isnt a good product...It wont. Obviously both have there pros and cons. At the end of the day I bet it has more to do with the companies customer service, how quality of a product they sell is, and how well they stand behind their product then it does with a couple 100 rpms of spool...

To be fair, the thread is mostly about street use.

The chart does have 2 STS kits on top. The JWT car could have done better with a lower 60' time and better launch. But the numbers tell the story here.

Are those STS or just unknown Single Turbos?

ST= Single turbo (location not specified, but I know #2 on the list is a top mount GT42R)

STS= Squires Turbo Systems (a company, making rear mount turbo kits)

So I don't know how you got STS out of that.

If that is all you got from the list then...

Yeah understand and know what STS is and stands for....have one.

I was just curious about the same thing.
