The first 30 pages were all drama.. lol Just make sure you have all the parts before you start the install, this is the same for every kit and STS is not the only one that ship missing parts, chit happen but STS is known to ship missing bolt/clamp..etc I'm not sure what defect you were talking about though..

what he said.... This is a great kit for the stock block and i think with the test of time it may prove to provide the most longevity of any kit on a stock block.

I was in the same boat. Right after I made the purchase I decided to go through the thread. I read about an engine failure, power issues, injector issues, etc. and started to get scared. But in the end things turned out great, and I'm very happy with the purchase so far.

thanx for your info im glad everything has worked out fine with your car hopefully everything works well for me also.. i really dont want that much power just enough so it can defend its own and what really convinced me about this kit is that it can easily be removed if i ever need to .

thanx guys for your help

      Goosegoose went through a few and the BB was his favorite (not sure if it is the same size) coz it spooled better and hold boost too. You can also check the Shop Build with his T66 or T67 on a built motor.

      Why do you want to upgrade the turbo? If you have the extra cash then I think you should go with the BB or at least go with the 60-1 but make sure stay with .58 AR or lower... I did some # and the stock 60 O trim is really only good below 10 psi if you want to stay withing the efficiency range, search this thread and you'll see that the 60-1 is better.

      Edit:
      Here, the post. https://my350z.com/forum/6560946-post1557.html

I never really payed attention to it since it doesn't sound real bad and happen in very low boost and low load.


      Edit:

      Got bored so I tried see how efficient our turbo.. I used the formula from Corky Bell's book (Maximum Boost) and verified my numbers from http://www.squirrelpf.com/turbocalc/ turbo calculator.

      First let us do some basic calculation. I have the entire lbs/min from 1-15psi but I'm just going to post the result for 10psi. I used 10psi coz I'm assuming we are loosing 2psi from all the pipings (could be more though..)

      VQ35DE 3.5 liter

      Code:
      RPM	NA/CFM	LB/Min@10PSI
      3000	157.53	18.48
      3200	168.03	19.71
      3400	178.53	20.94
      3600	189.04	22.17
      3800	199.54	23.41
      4000	210.04	24.64
      4200	220.54	25.87
      4400	231.04	27.10
      4600	241.55	28.33
      4800	252.05	29.57
      5000	262.55	30.80
      5200	273.05	32.03
      5400	283.55	33.26
      5600	294.06	34.49
      5800	304.56	35.72
      6000	315.06	36.96
      6200	325.56	38.19
      6400	336.06	39.42
      6600	346.57	40.65
      6800	357.07	41.88

      Look at the Compressor Map of the 60 trim and it's efficiency at 10psi. You guys can see we are well past its efficiency rate.



      Here is a compressor map of a 60-1. You can see that it is within the efficiency range.

      Goosegoose,
      I believe you are running the 60-1 right? Can you give us some input on the spool performance compare to your old 60 O trim?

      Here's your map at 17psi (probably 15psi on the manifold). You should see big difference compare to your old one. I think the turbo is good up to 17-18psi from the manifold.




      Goosegoose is using the 60-1 trim and I hope he can chime in if the spool was better or worst. I know with the 60 O trim was just not enough and power die on the higher rpm even at just 14psi.

      Hey guys. Wow, this thread is dead. I'm sure things will pick back up in the Spring as long as we are still employed

      So I'm going to need to get different injectors this Spring before I start tuning my car again. I bought older DW (forget what style) 440cc's, but since they were rated differently they are actually 400's. I didn't find this out until I got them though.

      I plan on staying under 400hp for sure, but I know that these won't be enough. Should I just go with RC 440's? I was thinking of getting some 550cc DW's to be on the safe side, but you can find used RC 440's for about half the price. Btw, I'm only running the Walbro w/o a return system, and the fuel pressure is around 51 psi at idle (dips a bit on the way to red line).

      Hey Johnny I like your vids on youtube I just happened to come across some of them of your old supercharged and now sts setup. Why don't you just do the DW 600cc's and call it a day? I have those and they run, start and idle perfectly fine with the utec. Also, buy new, I just wouldn't want to buy used injectors to save a few hundred bucks with so much at stake.

      I'm in the same boat and have the older DW 440cc... I have been toying around the idea of just getting a stage 0 RFS or bigger injector. I dont have a FPR so dont know if my FP is stable but I'm thinking of getting an RFS and maybe just bump the FP a little just to give me enough fuel so I can lower my IDC. I'm also planning to stay below 400whp and I dont want to deal with a bigger injector and Utec.

      My W/M does help me a little, I can still boost 8psi above 40F but with IDC around 90%-93% at 6800rpm. I'm leaning towards getting the RFS though..
