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

OK this thread is getting worse. Now I'm looking around for ball bearing turbos!!!

I think I need a ban for a while before I do something daft and expensive!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

One last thing though.... Do you have any pics of your MAF arrangement? :D :D

Cool to see the other z with this idea . i didnt see any bhp figures .

At least 300zxy's car is the only one with sts kit and only uk Z with this fitted.

any vids of this car about? I'm dying to hear it! B)

just read the whole thing, very interesting! want to see it and hear it though!

just read it myself mate seems like a decent conversion, thinking of doing my lasses bmw lol only vid of a nissan i can find on youtube is a 350z, sounds good though!

link please!

Just do a YouTube search on rear mounted turbo and one of the first bids will be a 350z on the rollers claiming 500+bhp, there's a flyby clip too and it's defo not 500+bhp but it sounds awesome none the less

isnt that bit laggy ?? how come uve got single turbo but twin exhaust ..it looks good i must admit ..

 

read the whole thread chap

hey guys, i aint got any vids of it yet

 

its due back from D2 any time now after having some other bits done, once its back il try and make a couple of vids for those that are interested in seeing/hearing it :)

yeah that would be great mate!

I hope the new set up is Still working well mate.

 

Speaking to a guy in the states who is doing his own set up after seeing yours .

 

So there may be a couple more in the world soon. :)

Glad you brought this thread back to life. Interesting read. It would be great to hear that its still going strong

its strange what pops up searching for something completely different ....

the search engine on this site is really bad

Oh yes!

What sort of price did it cost?

I want a turbo'd Bmw!

Well that didn't last long. Real shame

that would be cuz its on a NA engine ... Con rods and gudging pins are half the size of TT ...
