YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. I was thinking along these lines

Well I will be working on some videos soon. Going to try to get mine tuned again at another shop. Hopefully they can fine tune out the bugs.
Trust me unless you have heard one or taken a ride in one you wouldn't understand. It might not produce a much as a GTM TT but your also only getting one turbo that it capable of going up to 630hp. You are also not using up space under the hood.
I've been happy with the results for the price ( I went for basically the top of the line version) and I don't blame STS for the problems I have had, I blame the shop that installed it.

Great cant wait for the VIDS ! what was included in your build and the cost? would you change anything about the build that is ? any over heating ? what size oil cooler do you have ? Thanks

tower74

Total with install was around $10,000, but as I said I went all out. Methanol injection, oil cooler, ceramic coated, ball bearing upgrade, & boost controller.
No overheating at all, even when I'm running it hard. The highest I've seen the oil get was around 200 and the water temp holds steady at 1 bar below half way.
Save your money on the on the meth injection unless you can find a larger tank that will fit. Currently using my windshield washer bay and it's gone after about 25min of hard boosting.
Unsure on the size of the oil cooler. The build was done while I was out of town so my pic's are limited. I will however be removing the factory body kit and replacing it with an Amuse body kit shortly. So I should have a better idea on that. Carbon fiber AMS hood will be in on Friday next week.
All in all when it's cold,like today, I was driving at 45mph in 3rd and slammed the gas and the car went sideways on the interstate. Most people fall back because they thought I was going to wreck.

Jamaica

me and you both! Forced induction gives you a whole different experience.

Hey Jamaica how's your builds going on those Z's. Haven't seen anything on FB about them just that y'all were starting them. Also got a question for you. How much HP would I be looking at if installed a 4.2 or 4.5 stroker upgrade? I seen a thread had been started but it turned into a mess after a spoiled kid got on there , then the thread was closed. Just curious.

pyrrhus17

That sounds great Tower any info is helpful ,Maybe we can get Jamaica to do some vids !

Hey tower, how much does the washer reservoir hold? And how is your methanol kit set up? Does it gradually increase fluid as your boost increases or is it just full out all the time?

I would have to say 1 gallon on the tank. After the body mods we are hoping for a little more space up fron the from the Amuse body kit. I've got 2 lights in the center that when it begins to spray both red and green light up. Then a solid green when it's wide open. I've ran three diffrent ways. With methanol, with the 50/50 mix system (bottle of heat and windshield washer fluid) and with out. Don't really see the diffrence when either one is in action. It's only being used to help cool the engine at high boosts.

tower74

Yeah we can do that just hit me up. I'm busy up until the 28th or 29th but after that I should be good. I'm think of pulling off the intakes and having them powder coated while I'm out of town and the body kit should be in by the 2nd week of Jan. Hood by Friday so I might be spending a few minutes on Saturday trying to get the new hood installed.
Almost wanting to paint the whole car blue and keep the black rims.

i'll hit u up on the 28th and may get my car out around then if the weather stays they way it is now
