sts turbo? Should I buy a car with it already?
 
Anyone know much info on the sts turbo? Im looking at a 370z that it was added to. 125 hp its supposed to add is what I read from the website. Any guess how much more torque?

I wouldn't put an STS turbo on my car if you gave me the kit for free and paid for the install. It is a hilariously flawed design.

I personally would not buy a car with an aftermarket turbo on it anyways unless it was made factory that way. Due to who knows how it was installed, any tuning issues, over heating issues and abuse that the motor has gone through.

Never buy someone else's project.

Well anything could of happened to a used car(inside or out). That is just the name of the game. I would to be concerned spending 20k+ on a used vehicle, now a beater is a different story.

The car has an amuse body kit as well as the sts turbo.

Chuck33079 07-24-2013 12:34 PM

You should really buy a stock one and put the FI kit on yourself. That way you know it's done right.

That’s the risk you take when you buy used. Who knows.

fairlady_z34 07-24-2013 12:45 PM

I think its up to you really. car is only worth as much as the buyer willing to pay. i agree with chuck and 1st though. i would rather buy a stock then mod it myself so i know exactly whats been done to the car and do it the right way

EagleTime if your wanting a Z she is out there for you. But don’t buy out of impulse BIG MISTAKE. Take your time. There are plenty out there that are seeking a home and being produced. This car is supposed to last you and not give you headaches and out of pocket expenses for repairs.

Part of the fun is modding... This is like buying a used game + all the saves(I don't know how many of you will know what I mean)

Except the game won't blow up because the previous owner did something wrong. ;)
