I think what's more important is we get what we want at a excellent price. $16k is just not logical imo for TTs. I believe at their price it's a no brainer. I was gonna wait 5yrs, but why put off the inevitable if you can get it at STS prices. I was gonna pay 2.5k for exhaust, hfc, and ecu flash to make 70whp. Why not get 200whp for 5-6k.

I just contacted STS before even seeing this post. I went on here to see if anyone had one on their 370 after sending them the email and was pleasantly surprised to see it might actually be happening.

After reading the few post above mine I was honestly grabbing thier phone number to call in the morning so I could be the first. Unfortunately when I got on the website I put their address in Google, its 1980 miles from me. I don't think its a real option for me to be the first :(. I would like them to install it though, sucks... I just don't see how I can justify driving 2k miles there and back. Its a two day trip just to get there! I would have to take off a week of work just to do this!

I can spend 4-5k on a turbo, this is a real option for me. I'm super excited.

I'm going under the knife boys! I'm reaching out to him right now and he can have my car tomorrow if he wants it.

Done deal and I'll make sure we're all hooked up.

^^^Best of luck bro!

Best of luck!!!

hell yea... good luck man. keep us updated please :)

Good luck. Get those guys to start a STS build thread with pics, dyno and all the goodies. Thx you very much for going under the knife for your bros!!! This forum will have the most TT 370z's on the planet.

One question I have after having a heavy piece of raod debrie hit my bumber then go under the car and tear some things up is how do they protect the turbos and lines from something like this?

thats cool man, ask lots of questions too. Like how do they keep the long intakes up in pressure or boost or whatever it is, blow off valve or recirculating diverter valve etc.? How do they deal with the lag? Im assuming this will be a TT right? A quick and easy and less expensive TT would be great for price wars here.

DUDE, good ****.. I'm jealous... keep us posted!

I'm going a step further then details. I sent them a very long email this morning with what I have in mind, I really hope they like it and if they do I'll make sure you see every second of it.

You guys know me, I move QUICK. I'll take my car in for a baseline tomorrow if they go for it. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Thanks for the support as always!

Hope all goes well.

I just can't stop coming to this thread for more info. Every time I see BOLD I get excited. I need help. I'm putting myself in rehab for the next 6hrs

Ask them if they can join and give us progress pics and posts.

OH whoops! Ok. Good Luck!

I don't know if you prefer to hear fromt hem yourself or what. But to my understanding, the piping diameter is more important than the length overall. It's like a water hose that's been running. You have it running low and then turn the knob all the way to it's max pressure. How quick you turn the knob (turbo) is more important than the amount of travel needed since that can be offset by diameter (intercooler piping). That's essentially how it works.

Well let me ask this, do you understand how a turbocharging system works? It's not like a blow-dryer shooting pressure through a mile long tube. It's more like us taking a straw and blowing through it. The amount of air turbos tend to produce are insane.

I understand to a point, Ive had two Audi TTs that I was into modding and all to include upgrading the turbo on one. With these cars they used a recirculating diverter valve to help keep unused air in the intake system to help keep pressure up and not a blow off valve which just throws it away. I think that if they do something like this the length wont be a factor either, plus once air is moving it will continue to be there moving, its not like the piping will lose all the air and have to start over again. Plus ive always heard that with turbos you want a larger diameter exhaust, to a point, so as not to create much back pressure as the turbo itself does that and to go along with that you would want a better flowing air intake too.

really recirculating valves aren't for keeping the pressure up, they simply don't screw with the fuel tune on a car that comes with a draw through MAF sensor. Any type of blow off valve or recirculating valve is only there 2 do one purpose and that is remove pressure so the the compressor wheel doesn't go into surge (which allows the wheel to keep spinning faster/longer so boost stays up) it's not recycling the pressure it is allowing the turbo to get back up to pressure faster.

On a rear mount kit you want to keep the exhaust diameter small like 2.5" in order to maintain velocity. they also use relatively small charge piping which is no bigger than the outlet of the compressor housing in order to increase boost response. Honestly i don't think we have a large enough engine to support a twin turbo rear mount setup, maybe a single rear mount.

All points well taken. Bear with me, I wrote them a long email and if I do not hear back I'll call tomorrow but trust me when I say you'll like the outcome. We'll start a whole new thread on the situation once its confirmed. :happydance:

Damn, I was up there the other day right by there place and I didn't even know it. I am about an hour and a half south of them but I'm up there all the time. Hopefully moto can get this done because I simply don't have the funds right now. I will however stop by and express this forums interest in this kit!!! :tup:

I'm on them like flies on sh#$. I have a very good plan that could work for all of us POWER HUNGRY yet Cost Conscious guys....

I'll call tomorrow if I don't get a response by afternoon. Thanks man!

No problem moto! I appreciate all you have done with you car and for the forum so far! Just let me know if there is anything I can do :)

Sorry to badger you but did you get in contact with them?

Sent two messages and couldnt get time for the phone call. I'm taking tomorrow off so I can catch up and make sure I hold of them.

I have left two messages with these people asking about the universal kit and options. No one has called me back. It has been 3 days. kinda lame if you ask me...

Its ashame because I am interested. Can't seem to get anyone to answer the damn phone. I guess they don't like money.

Oh, I got the 350z link on the STS website to work:
Squires Turbo Systems - Nissan 350Z

I tried contacting them months ago, before I dropped the car off at Vortech. Phone call and 2 emails, I got one automated response saying they didn't make a kit for the 370z and to look at the universal one. None of my specific questions were every answered. Still interested though.

I have done a lot of research on the system and it seems that a twin rear turbo for most v6 cars will not work with a rear turbo system. Seems that your car needs a lot of displacement to make twin turbos work/worth wild. I had been trying to confirm my suspicion by looking at the 350 setup but the link was broken on the website. Luckily for me I finally got it to work by adding a '_' to the end of the link. Once there my suspicions were confirmed. The 350 kit is only a single turbo. I'm pretty sure the 370 would need to be as well.

Sent them two emails, followed with two calls and left a message this morning. Hmmmmmm. Offered them my car and perhaps an even better opportunity but no response back.

Hopefully they are just that busy and we'll hear back pretty quick. Fingers still crossed...

Ya, I sent two emails originally... its been a little while with no response

I really do want to go the turbo route and find a way for all of us to afford it without dropping tons of $. I know I'll get bashed that you can't go cheap on certain things but I'm still not on board with this whole $10K++++ turbo kit.

I KNOW there is a more reasonable route! I will find a way!!!!!! :icon14::tup::tup:

lol. it works fine, you just need the correct turbo.

even a good single turbo would be good and cheaper. But with the way they are going on their phone and email service, id be a little hesitant on them now.

Maybe you should switch your focus to a proper turbo system. Much like any other type of product, you get what you pay for. Trying to go cheap on FI is a losing bet.

So my friend and a couple of his friends with sts kits on their vehicles went with an "improper system" and "got what they paid for?" Running for years with ZERO issues but it's an "improper system". Lol, ok. I don't know why sts isn't being professional with their service. But their kits are damn good.

Agreed, nothing wrong with STS systems. There is just this weird stereotype with the systems since STS has monopolized the market for rear turbo's and people trying to do it themselves with random turbo's typically give less then great results.

Despite the LOL above I still believe rear mounts are different and large displacement engines are required to spool two turbos properly regardless of the turbo type. Not saying it wouldn't work but I don't think the extra cost would be worth the benefit for the small gains with our engine. The fact that the STS system for 350' isn't even offered in a twin setup pretty much tells me that this is true. Probably has largely to do with heat from the exhaust I would imagine. Hell maybe im wrong. only way to know for sure is to call STS, but oh wait that's right! They don't' communicate with there potential customers--lame.

The expensive part is usually comprised of the turbos supporting mods. Would there be more lag with a single turbo rear setup?

turbos are not magic. i have a decent sized turbo on my 700cc UTV that spools great to 15 lbs (aftermarket).

all you need to make a twin set up work, is two properly sized turbos. are you going to run twin 35r's? no, but there are plenty of turbos out there up to the task.

trouble is, what are you gaining? simplicity of have one turbo per MAF? i strongly feel that that is much easier to deal with the intake rather than TWO oil supplies and returns to worry about failing. ;)

sized properly, i doubt on this application you would see much difference in lag, either.

I'm not giving up, I'll keep trying...could just be tied up or on vacation, who knows.

Don't give up on my yet, lets see how I fare next week. Hope to have great news soon!!!!!

You are very patient. Those guys at STS have no idea what's in store for them if they can produce reliable results.

But that customer service....Ehhhhh, got to work on that.

You hit the nail on the head.
