FS: STS Turbo kit for sedan

SOLD

I bought this turbo 2 months ago from a member on this forum, and it's been sitting in my basement ever since. After my accident and the BBK purchase, I just don't have money to install it and tune. In fact, I still owe money to Mr. VISA so I would like to sell the turbo asap!

STS sells these kits for 350z's, but this one was fabricated to fit on a G35 Sedan, with lots of custom piping. The previous owner made 383 rwhp @ 9psi, and he was using Greddy Emanage Ultimate piggyback and stock cats. You should be able to make more if you use test pipes and headers!

Everything is in great shape with under 5000 miles!


This is a full kit:

Garrett T04E-60T 550Hp Turbo
TiAL 38mm Wastegate
TiAL 50mm Blow Off Valve
440cc Injectors (Flow tested at 492cc)
STS Front mount Air to Air Intercooler
HPC Ceramic coated Piping
NGK Iridium Plugs - LFR6AIX-11 (installed but never fired)
All wiring, piping, and oil lines included

Things that you’ll need:
1) Engine management (utec, emanage, etc)
2) Walbro fuel pump ($100 everywhere)
3) Exhaust piece made @ exhaust shop (connects y pipe to turbo exhaust inlet) (less than $100)
4) Maybe some misc. nuts and bolts


If you would like more information about how great STS kits are and why I chose this over a turbonetics, this thread has lots of great information: http://my350z.com/forum/forced-induc...on-thread.html









Here are some pics I found on the original owner's car:

bump for cool guy!!

I have had my kit for over 1 1/2 years now and not a single problem. The only maintenance I have done is clean my Air filter and changed my spark plugs once. No burnt AC line, no downpip/uppipe falling apart, no engine over heating, and no overboost!!! STS dont sell sedan kit and the previous owner did all the custom fabrication on 99% of the piping so you're you getting a custom kit and will be the only STS sedan kit out there.

Here's a video of my car..

Too bad it's for a sedan. I'm looking for a 350z kit. Bump for an awesome low price.

Where does the air intake go? Does it go up to a higher location or something?

I'm from Florida where it rains - a lot lol

The intake is on the same level as the turbo. Also, the filter comes with a protective shield against water. Unless you're standing in a huge puddle of water and flooring the car, you shouldn't have a problem. STS knows that this would be a concern to anyone seeing it for the first time, and it's not a problem.

Trust me rain is not going to be a problem!!! I have driven this car on the hardest rain you can imagine and no problem. You really have to drive your car in a 2 feet of water to hydro-lock your motor. The water has to go through the Turbo->Piping->FMIC then you need that water to climb its way up from the FMIC to your TB. That is a very long way for a water to travel The Filter has a plate that covers it and it also has blanket for added safety. If you have doubt then go the link he provided and ask other STS owner about it.

would this be hard to put on a coupe? What would have to be done? Ive heard that the 350z kit works for the g35c but have to get one extra part.

Coupe/350Z piping is totally different so you cant use this.

You could. But you'd need someone to fabricate all of the piping.

Quite tempting Alex, but my fund are exhausted from xmas shopping and installing the nismo sides and rear on my car,

if using this on auto tranny do any modifications need to be done for it to be up to handling a boosted car ?

Many people say that the auto can handle 350whp easy, but I would suggest doing a valve body upgrade, which is like $800. This will greatly improve your shifting, making them firmer and quicker.
