Sounds very interesting! Would this be applicable to a G?

 

Thanks for the reply. But I think an IC will be required for the 350Z kit, and it will add to the overall volume that the turbo need to fill. Another thing that the conventional single turbo doesn't have is the cat restrictions prior to the turbo. The current conventional single turbo kit has no cats, the STS kit places the turbo after the cats, the cats will dramatically slow down and cool down the exhaust flow. Also the conventional single turbo kit use a BB turbo to reduce lag, does the STS kit include a ball bearing turbo?

 

By keeping boost restricted to 5psi (no, I don't consider methanol a viable solution to increasing boost), this kit should be on par with most of the SCs out there -- it will generate about same hp or less, but keep torque over a larger rpm range. Keep in mind, you'll be restricted in boost without an intercooler. Especially in hot climates.

Now, as far as cooling is concerned, why not go with water-to-air intercooler. With that much intake pipe, it should be very easy to add 2 heat exchangers -- one in front, one over the intake piping -- and run an electric pump to pump water across. As an optional, you could add built-in water spray cooler up front, to further provide temp reduction during power runs in hot weather. And, your overall intake piping would remain same length.

 

For anyone who thinks you can install a turbocharger on the end of an exhaust system and have anything near comparable response/power to a system with the turbocharger mounted on the exhaust manifold I have a special offer for you.
Prime Oceanside property is available right her in Phoenix for a special low introductory price. More details will be made available as soon as you submit payment in full.

 

Look at that dyno, they cut off everything before 4000 rpms. Are they tring to hide something you think?

 

I'm just wondering if the flow rate is different towards the end of the exhaust compared to what the flow rate is right after the exhaust manifold. I would think this turbo system would lag more. It's good to see more options for the 350Z though.

 

Hi guys,

Thanks for all the input, especially S12 driver and bascelik. I will take your questions and suggestions to STS and I am sure they can answer them better than I am.

All in all, please remember this is a thread gauging interests. We're not asking you to put money down, nor is showing interest equal any form of commitment. Frankly, no one can gaurantee it will work perfectly right now - which is why a very intensive Research and Development is required on 350Z and G35.

However, business is a number game. Without knowing there is profit to be make, who wants to spend the precious money and r&d time? I am sure all of you want quality yet affordable products. This is your chance to push product toward that goal!! Please voice out if you're interested.

For few that is simply replying sarcastic comments, please leave and don't bother posting here. Either you have concerns, step up and address them so we all work toward a greater common goal; or don't bother us at all.

Yes. G35 is like 350Z that STS would like to R&D on. I had made same posting at G35driver.com to gather interests. If you're interested, please help out by spreading the word to other G35 drivers and point them to the V6P thread. With more people showing interest, the more likelyhood that STS will go forward with the project.

350Z and G35 owners are very fortunate that many FI options is already available. But there is nothing wrong to present more options, especially if we can achieve good performance result and good price.

 

tried your site, but couldn't vote.

 

Instead of an intercooler, why not desing the piping going from the turbo to the engine with cooling fins?

 

If you need a 350z to test on in So Cal i might possibly consider being a Ginue pig (SP), shoot me a PM.

 

Actually, the company is in Utah.....

 

oh i just saw LA on your name so assumed...heh

 

hehee.. I am on admin team with V6P, not affiliate with STS in any way. We met with STS during SEMA, and was attracted to their ease of installation, and unique-ness.
