what does just eh mean?

REAR MOUNT FTW!!!

YouTube - GTO with STS Turbo, 10.68 sec

of course it will sound slighty different, couldn't find the one i was looking for, the horsepower tv episode where they did the sts rear mount on the c6 corvette? sounds like pure sex

this statement has no facts to back it nor does it even make sense

[Onemanzu]

Thats odd that you aren't that familiar with the power house kit 1st time and I have been a turbo guy for over 15 years. See WILDBILLDEVINE.COM world record holder for 12 years running. The worlds quickest and fastest 5.0 SBF. Any how not to brag but now you know you are not talking to some goofy salesmen. LOL On a one on one note, what can you tell me about the Turbo, the precise model you use and what not. Also, are you familiar with SCT? Just wondering... most tuners I have talked to say they prefer it to the Predator. Our system can use one of two choices..Garrett 60 (500 Hp) or 60-1 (620HP). We can supply you with what ever you may need for the V6. As far as the tuning our tuner prefers the Predator. The Predator is more end user friendly but in reality who cares since the tuner has to deal with it and the tuning is included in our kit. Also, what do you suggest for the exhaust system from the Block to the Compressor? Have you tested the system with Mac ceramic long tubes and 2.5" piping dumping into a 3" Y collecting then dumping into the turbo? We do not require any exhaust upgrades; in fact they will give no performance gain whatsoever, you can save your money on upgrades. Check out my website and I will forward you some pics of the car in its current condition with new ET and MPH. I hope this helpful for your quest. Bill

My questions are in orange... the guy responded to it
weird

anyways i don't understand why long tubes wouldn't help you nor more free flowing exhaust, yes getting the exhaust to the turbo faster and smoother would make more sense to me... but for some reason this fella doesn't think so... he also says that having more pipe wont be beneficial at all...

torres, what can you tell me about the Garrett 60?

[v606er]

well the sts turbo seems like it would be pretty good (it is a rear mount)

[tsp_2177]

KIND OF a sleeper look to if you show your engine to someone who doesn't know anything lol

[Onemanzu]

Garrett 60?? im not familiar with that unit at all... you wouldn't happen to
mean the GT40 would you?? not doubting your judgement but it might have just
been a typo...

Once again, thanks for all your help man. I will try to get your kit out
there... what does a kit go for... with the smaller of the two turbo's

It is a hybrid Garrett 60 we have built for us. I recommend the smaller of the two as most people will not be able to take advantage of the latter. The 60 is the base turbo for the kit, The kit retails for $4995.00. I would be willing to work out a deal for your forum members if we receive some support from the forum. I guess the key point of this system is that there is nothing else needed to purchase. We made this power thru the cats and we have made up to 750 n change thru the cats on other cars we sell kits for with built motors. A couple of more positives on the system is it is behind the cats so it does not affect emissions in fact we have seen lower emissions with the system, We have seen MPG increases even though we sell HP not economy. And lastly you do not gain as much weight as traditional turbo systems or superchargers because our system replaces the cat back and we put the weight in the rear not on the nose. I hope this helps your friend gather the information they need. PS did you look at my website?... Pics to follow.

his car is bad ass, but not really relavant... its just a twin turbo pro street 10.5w running like mid 6.s ... you know nothing special...

still have questions... this guy seems nice and i am willing to play middle man

i have been talking to vernon hill(i think thats his last name) at STS al lot recently. he said he is willing to sell it to me for 4600$, everything including shipping.

Can you ask bill devine if he recommends the 3.55 or 3.31 gears(i would be getting the 8.8" differentials with that) for my v606 with their turbo

[Onemanzu]

thats a question that torres can answer... lemme hit him up see what he says

[v606er]

some more questions for bill or torres:
at what rpm is the turbo fully spooling/ creating max boost?

and does the psi switch (to switch between 5 and 9psi) and turbo gauges (boost and air/fuel ratio) come with this kit?

[Onemanzu]

it should come with a pre-set spring right at 4.7 psi ... and no it wont come with boost and a/f gauges ... you will also want to look into an oil pressure gauge just cause there is a line running from the engine all the way to the ass of the car and back...

and the G60 turbo... ill look to see what rpm it should spool at

vernon was telling me it had a spring, but i still dont understand what the spring does. Can i use it to change the boost while still in the driver's seat?

[Onemanzu]

it controls the boost via the waste and blow of valves...

that really helps. the part about boost controll is good too. What i want to know is if the STS comes with a manual boost control

[Onemanzu]

i seriously doubt that, manual boost controllers suck go electric or go spring'd

also

there is your answer now the choice is yours we cannot help you any more on that

depend on how well you size the turbo also twin and single

my car full spools a little before 3k rpms2700-2800... it varies also on how much boost you have sometimes

when i had 3.6psi i'd full spool at 2600rpms vs what i have now.

im not a fan of rear mount....i personally like front mounts. despite engine bay temps that can be controlled
if your going to go with a true sleep you'd have to go all out. stock rims with DRs on the stock rim. hidden dump or a factory look alike exhaust

[itschristorres8]

ewww manual boost controller...why do they still make those.. =/

well i still have everything completely stock right now, so i am completely asleep. I believe the rear mount i am looking at keeps the single exhaust.
