***Blackonorange's STS Turbo Build!! - Done by Speedtech Saskatoon***

O&G

I know plenty of people/cars who run oil-less turbos on a DD w/ no issues. Not saying it's better than oil, but it is a nice alternative. I've got about 4k on mine, inspected it the other day, no crazy shaft play, still spinning like a champ.

They build them in house when you buy the kit

You might want to check the your oil lines running to the back feeding the turbo. If it's spitting the oil into your turbo that could be creating the issue or the pump is clogged up and creating a back flow issue. Check all the connections. Look at the little blue thing (your pump for the turbo) which is located in front of the turbo bolted to the under belly of the car.

I also don't think it's the pump either , we just hopin it's the seal on the exhaust side

Having issues? Call STS . I will let Vernon know that your having issues.

I don't know how much Vernon would be able to help him. I hope it's something simple man, I'll be taking mine in next week to a real tuner to see what kind of numbers @ 9psi it'll give me.

Jamaica

Vernon can direct it to Rick. Rick has helped me a couple of times with the kits we installed and helped out. The kit boils down to the tuning. Tuning it the biggest thing with these cars and making sure the parts are installed correctly.

blackonorange

It's not the tune it's the turbo 99 percent sure , the other 1% is head gasket

blackonorange

I don't think it's the air filter thing you mentioned , since I had my rain sock off at the time i didnt have time today to tear it all apart , im gonna try that test you mentioned and I'm also gonna test the oil return pump. Thanks for the info 96 big body

This still doesn't explain the check engine light

blackonorange

K so guys , we took everything apart, the turbo the exhaust , everything checks out except for a frothy mess in the turbo , the ecu code was 0P005 ( I think, I forget the exact numbers) but it ment ECM failure so Itthrew the car into limp mode and dumped all the fuel out the exhaust? Does this even make sense? Does limp mode make our cars smoke ? Can some one tell me what happened? I erased the code and the car runs like a raped ape again, what's the deal? Any help is appreciated

our sts 370z has been having some error codes as well p1006 or something like that (sensor error) and check engine pops up again , we deleted it but it comes again , once on wot the car shut down by it self and smoked like hell for a sec when it shut off but once started again it never happened again, but the code is still their and we just accepted it as is and left it alone , the customer likes the kit , but we have been having boost leak issues , a couple of the exhaust couplers that were deleted and welded to fix the issue and stopping it from comin.

hope this helps

blackonorange

Hmmm weird , my code is gone now , but about the the exhaust leaks how did you find them? And that's basically what mine did I was wot and boom limp mode and smoke , the car stayed idling tho

hindi1973

we did a boost test leak by using the mechine the uses 2 methods first of all putting pressure in the intake by removing the air filter and placing it there and then after marking the leaks places by hearing them we use the second method which is white smoke (vaporized smoke ) to find little places that we might have missed , from wht i read the sensor in the intake doesnt take much pressure at once so it goes crazy their is a section in the uprev tuning in the DTC section to by pass it but we couldnt enter that section although the ecu is not locked but its limited for the tuner to enter everywhere unless he uploads the map from his wire which means the map in the car now gets deleted, the code we get is P0106 MAP/Barometric Pressure Circuit Range/Performance Problem, and regarding the crazy shut off dont know why it happened or if its attached to what i am mentioning above , but i could reassure you that my customer didnt have any problems with his gtm stage 1 kit , not even a check engine or anything just had coolent temps problems and thats due to our 130f minimum heat , not bashing here but just sharing real facts that have happened and ive seen them , again all kits are amazing , but i guess these 370z's are just too sensitive .
