Sts Turbo Setup

[W0rp3D]

OOOOOeeee....

Cut a hole in the boot floor and mount the intake/filter in the boot. Then cut a vent behind the licence plate so it can breathe...

if you put a vent behind the number plate you will get exhaust fumes in the cabin area.

[Johny Bravo]

Yeah i've decided not to because i may have to drive on gravel roads and it'll suck dust into my boot. And that will destroy all my amps and sub. Haha.

I'm sure marty has thought of the best way to do it.

[dori34]

any updates champ? sounds like an itneresting idea what you're doing.

[Johny Bravo]

no updates yet other then i have found new bumpers for my car. Not that exciting for all you fulla's. Should hopefully, might possibly have the car back early this week. However i'm not holding my breath cause i've been told that at least 3 times now.

latest Perth street car mag has a trans am going from 300rwhp-ish up too 512rwhp with same setup. will try post pics later

[Johny Bravo]

jump on youtube and search "sts turbo nissan" and it has a few video's up on there. Don't think it has specs though.

Any one who says it wont work obviously has no abillity to think outside the box, the huge lag myth has been been eliminated and the water and dirt on/in the turbo and filter is easily fixed.

[Johny Bravo]

i watched that when i first considered the srtup and decided it would be worth a try.

Yeah, but that is a 5.7L V8, Not a 3L six pot,

GT45's arent laggy on LS1's.

I'm still dubious on the results but I hope it does work.

I'm personally looking at doing it on my 5ltr fairlane but even then I would probably only go a 3540 with a .8 or maybe a 1.0 exhaust housing.

It's not the optimal set up but if you pick the right size turbo it can be a nice little power booster, and with the way the vic cops are if you can mount it high enough and put a cover over it it will keep it stealth.

If you want to do that I would get the smallest turbo you can get away with, the NC fairlane makes 165kws at the flywheel if you only want a bit more than that (say 165kw at the treads then you would only need something like a 28RS, not a 650hp gt35R, bit over kill imo.

[Johny Bravo]

guess we'll have to wait for the results. Either way it can't get any slower.

[zebra]

haha I like your thinking

[Johny Bravo]

yeah. At the end of the day with the stuff i'm doing to the car it will be making more power even if i wasn't putting a turbo in. Seeing as the engine i had was on its way out. I'm hanging out to get it back though. Hopefully the final result is a good one. It'll give me something to build on and hopefully help people who decide to do something simular!

Exactly

Also the housing on that turbo is rather small, doesn't look any bigger than a .82 at best.

Very small for such a large capacity motor, and certainly aid alleviate the massive piping addition

[Johny Bravo]

the turbo has had the housing brought out. Not sure how much. Nut i will get back to ya's on that one.

[XRATED]

Had a look a few days ago....

Set of coilovers and some widened steel rims, the thing will be sleeeeeper!!

Should go allright with the auto.

Ha ha ha ha... love it.

[Johny Bravo]

did you have a look at the car you mean? Got two brand new bumpers for it so she won't look so bunged up. What coilovers would you recommend? And yeah i'm gonna find some fat, light, inconspicuous looking rims. Any suggestions there either?

S13 coilovers fitt fairly easily I believe... Marty willl be the one to ask. I have HSD's under my pig.

As for rims... I'd get a set of 15" steelies widened as much as possible each end, then put plastic hub caps back on!!!

[Johny Bravo]

haha yeah. Plastic hub caps would make it look grandpa spec! I've got standard silvia rims on it i believe. And there only 15's and look fairly low key. I'll shop around and fins some thing that blends in.
