for water to effect ANY filter it would have to be fully submerged under water

 

/\ +1 I have driven my car on one of the hardest rain you can think of and also drove my car in the Winter with ice/snow/salt on the road.. lol I only go to Hand Car Wash or I do it my self...

 

Thanks guys for the help, I think I should be fine too then...Just curious though, has anyone hyrolocked yet with a g35 or 350z sts kit?

 

No but there was one that hydro lock the motor because 5 of injectors allegedly got stuck open.. I dont want to get into it but both Utec and injector were sent back to DW and Turboxs and they were tested fine...Maybe install error

I wont worry about the rain though.. I'm 100% confident driving my car even in a storm!! As long as I dont drive in a 2 feet of water then I know I'm going to be fine. lol It was raining one day and the rain was like 2" big and I figured let me do a burnout The first time I picked up my car from MRC I got caught in the rain and I swear it was raining so hard that there were 2-3 inches of water on the freeway.

 

Thanks AthenG... iam picking mine up today if the install is complete and it is raining so hard here and I jus got a bit worried...from your experiance sounds like everything is gona be fine. I was thinking of installing an aem air bypass valve in the future to be extra safe...has anyone have any experiance with this?

 

What is the average price for installing a sts kit on a 350z? And how long does it really take? Thanks

 

No sense in doing this, as the bypass valve would have to be right next to the filter. The only reason that thing works on n/a cars is because you can place it somewhere up high in the intake piping.

 

anyone got a good set of sts videos?

youtube is only popping up web's videos from a while back.
want to see some different setups and hear them as well.

 

Did you bother to check the first few pages of this thread?

 

ah! so true...thanks

 

Ok after reading tis thread for god knows how many hours I'm debating to go with the STS turbo for my Z. So.. what is the complete kit price is it now days and reputable company I can order from?? and anyone have an instruction manual for the kit so I can get a general idea before I fork up the $$$$$ . Thanks !

 

I have the manual in PDF. PM me your email address.

 

PM sent. Thanks

 

type in daniel sts turbo 350z

 

you do notice that i mentioned your videos are the only ones i find?

Ive seen yours HUNDREDS (edit ok 10's) of times, looking for something new/fresh.

And yes i have read through the thread multiple times.

trying to get my crack by second hand smoke so to speak. (if you dont have the cash, watching the turbo guys is the best you can get.)

 

SOMD, go back a few pages and you'll find my posts... Trust me, all the guys here know I asked all the same questions you're doing now.

You'll also find some good answers too. Feel free to look at the STS turbo threads on G35driver as well. A lot of good info is there too

 

thread search no worky, guess ill start reading backwards...

 

so update on my setup i ditched the greddy e01 before i tuned it because i made almost 300 off of it and last night i ditched the mbc and just ran wg pressure and it spooled way quicker. so today i purchased a .6 bar spring for the waste gate so i can run more boost and im doing a boost leak test then getting tuned this weekend

 

Finally got the car back and the sts kit sounds so nice....Iam only running stock psi (5) since my EBC is not installed yet. I noticed the engine gets quite hot after a 4-5 runs not going pass 6000 rpm. It is still cold down by me and summer has not hit. Anyone running a meth cooling kit on there car? Does it help alot with the sts kit in keeping the temps down? Should I get any other mods to help keep the car cool on those hot summer days? Thanks in advance.

 

the sts kit has the lowest intake air temps and under hood temps you'll find in any FI system period
