Nice isn't it. I use to run the vortech but my car overheated everytime at thunderhill on moderately hot days. I have high praise for the STS kit.

 

Do you have the upgraded Intercooler? Sorry if I missed that somewhere.

 

thus far I have not heard of anyone running the upgraded intercooler with an otherwise stock kit.

 

What kind of gas mileage are you guys seeing? When you're not on it of course.

 

This goes for every FI'd cars but it is hard to tell since it is hard not to boost. You literally have to be conscious of your gas pedal just to avoid boost. Having said that, on a normal driving 50/50 highway/local driving then I usually get 14mpg. If I drive real aggressive then 10-11mpg. By the way when I was NA my car never went above 20mpg even with 100% highway driving, it usualllya avarge around 17mpg.

 

I typically have 17mpg with moderately aggressive 50/50 highway local. That can go as high as 20mpg with 100% highway. It will go as low at 14mpg when I am being very aggressive.

 

I got around 28 when I stayed out of boost for about 200 miles.

Polosport, I assume you are Freddy??

 

No. Intercooler that came with the kit. I don't think the upgrade is needed. I have a 4.0 motor on the stand getting built for when this one lets go....Maybe with higher boost??? but I don't know. STS tells me the kit is good for 500 WHP and that is plenty enough for me.

 

He may be trying to stay incognito and what not

 

I get around 25 MPG cruising at about 70-75 mph on hiway 85 between charlotte and raleigh

 

You guys really get some good mileage with your car. Even when I was NA I drove to Boston (4hrs drive) and only got 20 mpg on a 100% highway driving . When I was NA my average was around 16-18mpg. It's either my car like to drink gas or my foot are just too heavy.

 

Saw a 350z with an sts kit for sale in the dupont registry. THe one with the lime green viper on the cover.

 

He's my brother! I've been reading some of the drama and I know what those guys go through so I just wanted to chime in some helpful info. I see these Kits on all sorts of different cars and I think they are very missunderstood.

 

I also only get 16mpg. I think it's a combo of hard driving and high octane
(93)vpower...

 

hah I'm not trying to call him/you out or anything. Just nice to get some feed back and communication from the company rather than from the small group of STS owners.

 

/\ he's been a member since Oct 2007, I wish he had chimed in when we had all the drama....

 

Well I don't work there I just hear a lot of what goes on. I didn't know the whole story in the beggining so I didn't want to get involved. I don't know a lot of it still but I know that a lot that goes on is because of missinfo and I just wanted to help clear some of that up. It's a good Kit and since those guys aren't specifically import guys it's been hard for them to get into this market and people accept them off the bat. They have a long road ahead of them..
