First post has been updated to include pricing of the tuner turbo system, tuning package and the resonator ugrade.

Not really. Even before we had the tune dialed in I could notice a difference in power. With it closer to where it should be you can notice the difference . Just cruising around you can hear the difference in your exhaust . The car just sounds PO 'D that she is going slow , so it's hard not to want to floor it all the time.

So you had an increase in power under 3k and what does PO'D mean?

blackonorange 01-28-2012 03:16 PM

PO'D means pissed off

tower74 01-28-2012 03:56 PM

Yeah if you look at the chart in the video you are already at 300hp around 4000rpm. That's with the turbo and it's already pushing out more than stock, so I would have to guess you would already be pushing around 230-250hp at 3000rpm and PO'd does mean pissed off.

LOL @ PO. How goes your quest for a 6MT? Maybe you could do a swap?

This is the system that gives me the most hope for Finding reliable FI power for the 370z ,(tracked /autoX). How are the in traffic driving temps?(traffic jam anyone) Someone please track (HPDE/autoX) their car !!! .

Ron 01-29-2012 10:24 AM

Heat output on a TT kit can be controlled.. ceramic coat exhaust manifolds and turbine housings, wrap them, then insulate fluid lines and hoses, 34R oil cooler.

Nobody is tracking with FI because none here that TT'd their cars appear to be into road racing.. It does not mean it can't be done. Boost WILL, no matter where the turbo is located, cause some sort of temperature increase. Yes it will be more on a conventional setup than on a remote mount setup... but it can be controlled, people here make it sound like its mission impossible or something.

Well I found that they do make upgrade for the 7AT so I'm going to stick with what I got....on top of that Missouri taxes would kill me again. Not really wanting to drop another $2000 in taxes. Also I can say for now, I'm the only STS 7AT :happydance:

When I was living in town and driving in traffic before the turbo. I've seen the temp spike up 260+ but since the turbo and oil cooler it was around 220-230. Just like most cars it needs air flow to help cool off the engine.
Trust me if I was a home more often I would but at the same time I moved away from all the traffic so I would have go sit in traffic on purpose. Not much on traffic.

I'm sure with the right amount of money you could track a FI Ford Pinto. It's all about the money, time and development.

Ron 01-29-2012 10:47 AM

Of course, but the options I mentioned where budget minded and simple to do while the kit is being installed and should give a significant decrease in temps...With the right (read unlimited) amount of money I would have mentioned aftermarket bumper, hood, fender vents, air ducts, aftermarket radiator, higher output fans, etc etc..

bigger pipping = more turbo lag. More velocity(smaller piping) = more spool, which in turn = :happydance: Since the downpipe is basically the exhaust there is no backpressure issues. My only concern with the kit is the distance the air needs to travel to and from the turbo. Good numbers, I've seen these kits on a number of different cars and they make good power. It's all up to the individual owner in the end!

The system is designed for that distance. I've never had an issue with the system or the "lag" everyone seems to think will happen with that distance.
The turbo kicks in the same time as a front mounted turbo.

They wouldn't be in business if the system didn't work. Innovation is the only way to stand out in the crowd and making the same and better power than everyone else can and for a cheaper price. Now you got a company that is going somewhere.

O&G 01-29-2012 02:17 PM

STS has been around for awhile, they are a good aftermarket company and no one said it doesn"t work. Your obviously happy and thats what matters so don"t get too worked up. I have a single system as well, it's a bit more custom than the STS slap it in the back and call it a day system. You WILL see a longer spool up time than a twin system, thats just the nature of it. Does that mean less power? NO, you mite be able to get more power than a twin system if done properly. If you know how to drive your car the whole boost lag argument really doesn"t matter imo.
