Alrighty then.... got my Z back today after having my STS turbo set-up fitted :hyper:

 

For those that aint sure what that is their websites here:

http://www.ststurbo.com/sema_2004

 

 

We ended up going for a single turbo setup running at 0.7 boost and the results were very impressive

 

I have a dyno sheet here but as i aint able to scan it right now you'l have to take my word for the figures.

 

Before anything was done my NA was dyno'd and peaked at 192.7bhp

 

The dyno result after the STS conversion came out at a peak of 348.9bhp :D

 

Theres still a couple of things to be tweeked here and there such as an AFC to have more control over the fueling....

but once these bits are done we're hoping to see 370+bhp

 

Drives like a dream and im well chuffed :D

 

 

Heres a couple of dodgy quick pics to show ya..... but Darren has taken more pics of the process stage by stage...

once i get a copy of these i'l post some up if anyones interested

 

 

 

 

Also had a tailgate skin fitted and blended and my rear wiper removed and smoothed.....

looks loads better imo... just gota finish smoothing my rockguard and get my new wheels on then im all set for JAE :nana2:

 

 

 

Would just like to say a HHUUUUGGGEEEEE thank you to Darren and the guys at D2 for doing such a great job and being such professionals.... top guys :bow:

 

 

A very happy Rich

great idea...from the sounds well executed too would like to see more pics

Truly unique, well done mate always good to hear of someone going against the grain and doing something different :bow:

 

Also nice to know you're running an NA rather than a TT with this setup :D

Not that i need to explaine.

We fitted to turbo pressure regulator and damper as a matter of course as the units fitted to the n/a had never had possitive pressure on them and i didnt want to risk the fuel pressure not to rising correctly in relationship with the charge pressure.!! As im sure you know this is important :)

yes there is an A F ratio print out on this dyno run and its fine on boost

plus the duty on the injectors is fine also.

 

Why are you looking for faults in this set up?

 

Its fitted. it works briliant. 3000zxy brave enough to try somthing never done before. The idea of this system is you dont always need lots of other mods.And thats been proven.

 

Again well done Rich

I dont mean to come across like im picking faults or as a complete cnut :o , its just that im simply concerned that if the dyno numbers are correct then the stock NA fueling is being pushed way past its limits. If you come on here dismissing everyone advice without explanations, then it comes across as arrogant and ignorant wether you meant it that way or not.

 

Injectors which are running static (100% duty) have all sorts of reliability issues - Your no longer in control of fuelling, mixtures start to lean out, injectors overheat and complete failure is far more likely. You may not have had experience with failed injectors on a VG, but myself and plenty others have.

 

..and to be fair, you did need to explain, as you were originally claiming to have swapped identical parts as an upgrade.

 

 

If the fuelling has been properly checked with AF ratios and Duty cycle checks, and your happy everything is fine then thats good to know, puts everyone else's mind to rest :)

 

We are all very interested in the results of whats is a very unique setup.

Edited August 10, 200916 yr by Yowser

sounds very impressive! I assume now one has been done its easier to do others so the unit cost should come down? Might see some more "NA's" packing more than their share!

 

I've seen a similar system done on an M5 before, where there simply is no room for the pipework, turbos and manifolds in the engine bay

 

this is gonna blow the na supra guys minds as they are always being ridiculed by the tt and big single turbo guys although its only like 2k for a na to tt conversion anyway

thanks for the input guys..... and Daz answer away dude you know more than me :)

 

 

right i have recieved the pics from daz and am just sorting them out now

I dont wish to start an argument here . but as i said the only mod was the change to the turbo pressure reg and damper for the reason i posted before. i didnt claim them to be an upgrade!

And im not arrogant or ignorant.But i am more than qulified to state the facts in this matter and cover all the technical issues regarding this build .

Also i didnt see any request from any one asking for advise? just telling the story. If 300zxy had followed most advise this 300 would never have got its wicked upgrade.

given the terrible salty roads our councils throw at us every winter i would have real concerns having my turbo actuator arms right behind the rear wheels:confused:

there uploaded to photobucket.... but i need some sleep cause i am shattered

 

i'l post em up tommorow

great set up, and a great looking Z, looks so nice from the front. nice and clean

thanks andy :)

Great photos and have to agree with andy, lovely looking zed :D

That's a really neat install! How does the MAF figure in the equasion though? is it suck through or blown through?

 

You got me thinking now...... How about adding a big turbo to a stock turbo'ed Z, stock turbos for 2,500~5,500 rpm and the bigger rear turbo for 5,500++rpm!

 

Damn... this might just cost money LMAO

The maf is blown through. You could fit this whole setup to a tt without changing anything under the hood. Already thinking also about a tri turbo setup lol.

that set up looks great...

 

Daz thought you were on holiday mate.. just sat at kfc drive through.. their kfc is now gonna taste like oil.. turbos got now, well on their way to me.. see you when you come back..

Hmmm interesting :D lol

 

What turbo is on the N/A car and how do you think it would perform on a TT?

 

 

Tripple Turbo? :D :D:hyper:

Already been Discussed :) Although Judging from what people responded with then and now that they can see the results the comments may not be as good to view now

so when's it going on the dyno....just £30 to prove any nay sayers wrong...:D

 

my concerns are protection of the unit...will spray and cr@p off the wheels hitting the tub 24/7 shorten its life...is the zorst gas going to be moving fast enough by the time it gets up to the back to be effective...and how does it compare price (maybe time too) wise to doing a normal na - tt conversion....a bhp/£ price comparison would be good to see when putting STS set up up against normal conversions

questions...questions...look forward to any answers :D

cheers

Was on the 1st Post of the Thread too :slap:

lol (accepts slap)...you expect me to read that far back...this is post 73 :D

 

so taken from above thats a gain of 156 ...ok but for how much money ? and how does that compare to doing it the traditional way (factoring in time) and such fringe benefits as pulling the engine means you can do lots of other service items when its out

Edited August 13, 200916 yr by Uno

Should try and focus on the pics a bit more :)

Edited August 13, 200916 yr by TopLess

That's ART that is...(pipe work) is that designed on a CAD system them made to order or just made 'on the car' so to speak? Beautiful stuff either way.

Little write up from the states on them!
