STS 370Z Single Turbo System

Vince@R/T

Boost and TQ does come on alot sooner then I thought it would, Im impressed. Only few things I wonder is...injectors, fuel pump, and who's base tune? Also on the high boost setting they stop at 7k and TQ falls off hard...lil weird

You've got to remember...I bought a lot of extras ...so everyone else's total could be about a grand or more less.
Just found the picture of my receipt ...with the turbo ceramic coating,and ball bearing upgrade and shipped was $6950.

I'm trying to remember...but it should come with new injectors, plugs and fuel pump in that price...it dropping off a 7g my guess is that's when he let off the gas.

PO'D means pissed off

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?

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

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 !!! .

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.

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

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..

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.

ok.... let me help everyone out with this lag issue we cant seem to get around. i have ridden in towers car a few times and there so sooooooo little lag. it seems like everyone keeps overlooking the fact that denser air moves quicker thru ic piping. remote mount turbo systems provide the coolest charge of any turbo system on the market. thus, the denser charge, negates the longer piping distance. not to mention the fact that our engines already run decent compression as it is (11:1), which overcomes the feeling of "lag" like u would get in your traditional turbo setup. it not instant like a bmw 135, but it definately doesnt lag like a single turbo supra.

plus is anyone gonna say "well true my car is fast as hell with 450hp, but i just wish i had a tt setup so it could make the same power 100rpm's quicker..."

Nice one. I am sure that the piping size has a lot to do with the success of STS's product. I would like to actually ride in an STS turbo'd car. I think the exhaust sounds wierd, but that is irrelevant. Again.....nice post!

I've rode in other turbo cars. That's why I wave the STS flag. This sytem isn't the run of the mill system. Some true innovation has gone into this system. The car in real life sounds exotic and not so much like a muscle car. The power from the single isn't what you would expect. One ride and it'll change the minds of many people.
