In cases where a cat (again, generally a pre-cat because of their proximity to the exhaust ports) has broken down, you have
A) loose pieces of honeycomb floating around
B) significant increases in backflow

and it becomes technically possible for cat material to flow back into the engine.

When you say pre cat, you mean cat before the header ?

:werd:

The turbine and the compressor aren't using the same air. I can't imagine chunks of cat hopping between housings:icon17:

You can look at a picture of a turbo and pretty quickly figure out that core chunks aren't going to wind up in the intake.

Yeah, I understand the two sides of a turbo...I was meaning in stopping inside the turbo and not going anywhere else....poor attempt at being a smart asz

But it flowing backwards??? If this is a somewhat or even a rare thing to happen I would hope that they would of already solved this kind of issue from ever happening.....At the same time I'm not a mechanic

Do not buy from STS turbo they take months to finish their bolt on kits on any car it took them 6 months to put on my turbo kit on my car and they wanted full payment within 2 weeks i waited half a year for their basic kit!!! And they would not give me discount is costed over $14k every week after the first month i constantly contacted them and they kept saying the car will be done next week they kept saying for 6 months!!! WTF these guys are lazy,slow and dont give a sh!t about their customers. I want to know can i sue them for having my car for so long and charging me more then their estimation on the price and telling me it would be done in 3 weeks and they kept telling me it would be done the next week for 6 months.


im sorry guys my grammar sucks im just really mad at them.

blackonorange 11-04-2012 06:55 PM

He hasn't posted any proof yet of having his car worked on. Until we see anything legit from him I'd take his word with a grain of salt.

After what said company has done to a few members it doesn't seem that unlikely of STS doing this. The fact they haven't even tried to defend themselves says volumes about them. How much more disgruntled customers do u need to hear from?

I'm not saying anything about STS in one direction or another. My point was this is someone who just joined our forum, doesn't drive a Z, and has only made posts bashing STS. Before anyone takes what he says at truth we should see some sort of proof.

If he can show something proving that STS is working on his car, then yeah I say this is a huge red flag and STS needs to explain it before trying to sell anything on the forums. Until that time though its best to reserve judgement.

I still don't have my car back yet. I'm on this forum because of my GTR I took my camaro to them I know there are some angry 370z owners on this forum as well for getting treated the same by sts.

elperuano 11-05-2012 02:36 PM

Gotcha, I can understand that. I didn't research that guys history lol.

Chinook 11-05-2012 05:41 PM

I can only comment on my personel experience and when STS asked me to get my car to them to use as a test car for fitment they had told me they would like to have it for 2-4 weeks. I was able to pick it up at the end of the 3rd week and received great service. :tiphat:

Jason with all due respect

I'm going to ask you take your issues and post them in your own sts thread you created.

http://www.the370z.com/other-vehicle...sts-turbo.html

I'm not going to allow a vendors thread to get trashed especially if they have not came in to defend themselves.

Now Im going to ask everyone to get BACK ON TOPIC!


Thank You..

You guys can talk all you like but this is my car my money my passion, I can do w/e I want I'm going to put my money into my car how ever I want.

and the $27k was not a kit the $27k includes many other parts from other companies.

Yes im going to buy a 4.5 build for my car and yes I also want to do a roots supercharger for my car so i can twin charge it and be the only 370z with this setup. the only problem is that no company makes a roots supercharger that mounts on top of the engine to allow room for this kind of setup. So im going to have to have one made custuomly for me. heres is a video with sts setup and the root supercharger that stillen makes for the 350z someone has twincharged there 350z. now i do know when you add a supercharger like this you do not get more gains typically the reason why people do this its for constant power band other known as no turbo lag.

twin charged 350Z Built by Aaron Eddington - YouTube

So if you guys want to try to make fun of me for having sts system or saying im stupid for putting this kind of money in my car thats fine thats what you would do if you had this kind of money but this is my money and I can do what ever I want with it so please this thread is about sts kit and information for new and existing customers. Please stay on topic.

blackonorange 11-06-2012 07:10 PM

No one said you were stupid man, and I believe you. I'm just saying when you mentioned it before we all asked for more info and you never gave it to us. Which is completely fine. No one is making fun of you, well at least I'm not

I'm sorry its just alot of people talk crap about turbo systems and who sets them up and what companies but most of them don't have turbo/supercharger setups and they call me the dumb one, when they do not even have a forced induction car and people are talking bad about sts they have treated me very well i don't like it when people bash other people for entertainment and now that's what they have been doing to me the past couple months at least im actually doing something to my car.

I am pretty sure you could use a stillen SC system, or GTM with an STS... piping ain't no thang...

and I am saying.. you are all talk... bro.. it's fine, it's your money.. but don't come on here talking about all this amazing action and not sharing

dastaco 11-06-2012 07:47 PM

How about we keep this thread on the STS track instead of diving off into fictional cars.

One...those pic's are gone....At the same time, every single thread you have posted on you always drop the " I'm turbo rich and you are all a bunch of broke asses" comments. Hey good for you have money, earned or given. It doesn't matter...WE DON'T REALLY CARE. My opinion of this system is less than positive. I also know that most that are posting on here are happy with the system.
Also, we've all already figured out how proud you are of your car. At the same time you have dropped $27,000 into your car and not even at 500hp. $11,000 in and 481hp. Who's smarter? Oh it's also a AT7 and I have 14,000 miles on the STS kit...:tiphat:
