hey i am an owner of a 2007 hr roadster and am wondering why sts or another brands have not come out with a rear mounted turbo setup yet.. it seems like a much more logical solution to turbo a hr easier with the use of a twin turbo intercooler or a splitter after the intercooler.. just a thought.

 

Not really.

remote mount turbos pretty much means STS since I believe they have a patent on the oil feed or something like that. I was about to go with twin remote mounts on my HR, but decided for a conventional set up instead.

For those in so cal ... API motoring can hook you up with STS.

 

id personally would rather run oil/coolant lines then try to pull those manifolds off and make a turbo kit fit in a place where it will be so crammed in... i know there is a turbo kit out for the hr... 8000 before fuel.. running a remote turbo system would save 1000s.. and there would be no need to twin turbo it anyway.. its a high revving 3.5 liter and a single gt35r turbo would be more then enough on stock internals to make a lot of power.

 

and by the way there is no need to bash me for having an idea about something and asking a simple question. i am not a noob.

 

Not going to bash you at all, but to clarify, removing the manifolds on the HR is anything but hard. As for the turbo's i hear they are a pretty easy install.

 

I see this setup on GM cars, maybe we will get the same in the future also.

 

i havent pulled the manifolds off of my hr yet.. but if it anything like the DE.. i wont be doing that again haha thanks for the info

 

^^^check my thread about the Stillen headers, as I have a pic with the Stillen headers next to the stock HR manifolds.

fg? again
???

 

dude u fcking FAIL.

 

Actually, the savings by using an STS is not that great ... I had quotes for both. With the STS, you don't have to pull the exhaust manifolds (or cats for that matter) but you have to do some pretty trick plumbing from the front to the back of the car as well. This is in addition to the oil return lines from the turbos. Finally, you have to come up with a way to give the turbo(s) in back a "clean" look. The STS can be done, but it will be a custom install on an HR motor which requires the shop to have your car a longer.

Another advantage to going with STS is they will most likely work with you from a pricing perspective to get their system installed onto an HR since it has not been done yet (as of late June).
