STS 370Z Single Turbo System

SharpByCoop

Tower,

Question: That blue pump is for the oil, correct? Does this use a standalone reservoir, or is it a helper from the distance traveled to the engine?

(Back in my M/C drag turbo days we ran standalones. Not a bad thing.)

That rear system would benefit from a big plastic or carbon cover, like under engines. It looks so vulnerable with potential road debris slapping around.

I'm not a hater. I like this. If that Corvette is a similar turbo system, that shows it well!

Don't worry about that...hate trollers ... I do believe that is a stand alone oil pump. From what I have read they do use that type of system.
Electric Oil Feed and Scavenge Pumps
As far as road debris, that's a good question. Like I said I've 2500 miles and was just under the car last month. The only I had found was a broken clip holding up the piping. That was a five minute fix and could be from the install. The guys who did my install weren't very versed in imports. SCARY..even though I'm learning myself.
The Corvette wasn't an STS system.

I'm actually liking this system as well! the ease of installation and the power level looks great in every aspect and something i can DIY inside my garage. maybe i should switch kits!

I just did some MAJOR cleaning in here. This thread is for the announcement about the STS turbo, and discussions about the STS turbo. As Jamaica eloquently said earlier, "If you want to compare kit please start another thread comparing kits. Don't want to go off topic with STS' first thread."

Trust me were trying to keep that way.

I like the idea of a Plastic/CF plate.

I think that it might cause a clearance issue with the piping but at the same time it would help protect the unit

So low boost is over 400hp how much TQ ? This is about what I want long term reliable power same power as a FQ 400 . These numbers are all from stock components ? no upgraded clutch? or engine? Thanks

erkthejerk73

stock yes, do you ever look at other posts/thread before you ask?

not trying to come at you, just what i have noticed.....

tower74

Ask away I say. I'll answer what I can...

I was getting 348.62tq and 403.42hp at 5 psi. No upgrades, its 7AT. You can buy the boost controller which has a 5psi setting and a 8-9psi setting (of course you could also get under the car and adjust it yourself on the high boost setting but not suggested).

They also sell a much cheaper base system. Look on there web site under universal kits.

To be honest I think the wiring would probably be the biggest challenge but I'm sure you could probably get close to the install time they are saying it would take. Bright side it'll save you anywhere from $1000-$1500 in install fees. Save that money for more upgrades

edub370

since mine's a weekend ride i would just get it, set it at 7-8psi and call it a day

with the proper tune you could have that on a DD

With the STS boost controller and a little common sense it can be DD at any psi.

It's all about how you drive. I can't say I didn't floor the hell out it for the first two weeks but after the new wore off (only a little bit) I started looking at how much fuel I was going through and the wear and tear on the car. That right there helped me stop boosting the hell out of my car everywhere I went.
