OK I'll bite...WTF are you guys saying with this code stuff?

 

that, my friend, is arabic xD

 

Ahhh...sorry about that. I had no idea so I thought it was a inside code that you guys had. No offense intended.

If you guys are sharing info about the supercharger, please do translate to english so others can learn as well.

 

hey no worries, i was just asking to see if there were any shops that can tune a turboed VQ in the area

 

I would be interested as to where they think they can put this unit under the sedan with the spare tire well in the back. Best case scenario with a sedan I can see is the turbo on one side and a single exhaust on the other. The 350Z's were different because they did not have the drop down spare tire well under the trunk and everything could go right there.

 

Since the turbo sits in the rear of the car, is there protection underneath? What happens in the rain, snow, etc. Obviously your typical turbo set-up is inside the engine bay, where it is protected from those elements. Thoughts?

 

The claim by STS is that the turbo getting wet during use is not a problem. They do back it up with video of them doing doughnuts with a STS system through huge pudddles for quite a long time. The video is on there website. This does not show long term effect (if any) of the temperature changes but nothing went "boom" during that test.

The a$$-mounted turbo should run significantly cooler than the one under a hood since the environment and gases are both much cooler. Therefore I would assume much less stress from the smaller temperture change when compared to splashing water on a running turbo just after the manifold/header.

The temperature change from the just the exhaust gases after the manifold is definitely not enough to cause damage to the system since our exhaust undergoes that stress daily from the cat back.

I don't have the brain power to figure the heat added during compression plus friction but STS's claim is plausible.

Bloody hell how many Arabic speaking members are on this thread? like 3?

 

^ yeah, do u understand what we're saying? LOL

 

im the 4TH

 

lol yeah I do understand what you guys are saying, so I guess it makes 5 of us , we should try and organise a meet one day lol, bas we need to agree on a good location for all of us

 

This is pretty cool but how does it work? It is unique indeed because I had no idea you can install turbo this way lol.

The only thing that scary is what if we dropped our car and we happened to hit the road bump really HARD! bye bye turbo?

I looked at some pictures there are serious piping going on under the body...just too scary thinking about go over that damn speed bump at my work.

 

The turbo piping sits no lower than your current stock exhaust. Its pretty much tucked in there really good.

Now if you're scraping your stock exhaust now with those speed bumps then you may have something to worry about.

If you're not scraping your exhaust then you're fine with this kit

 

Ok I'll bite. I'm interested and will drive my car to Utah (**** thats a long drive from cali ). But I know STS from my F-body days and will consider giving it a try. On a side note, how will this affect my Fast Intentions exhaust??? I would hate to take a loss on it after just getting it a few months back

 

ha...that's the first thing that went through my head!
