STS Twin Turbo Corvette part 1 of 2

[1985vettefan]

now is this kit available for say an 85 corvette?

[TheBrandin1234]

is this in palmdale ????

[usmusclemods]

@TheBrandin1234 it was in the provo utah area.

[zIDaSa]

Does This Run With SLP Full Exhaust, Cam, Air Intake????

[sofargone561]

if i get the base model i can get the kit but if i get the z06 i cannot due to price reasons can i still see 500whp on a stock motor with the base model c5 not the z06?

[xSijnx]

This guy actually knows what he's talking about. Amazing sound and well done on the mods.

[isuav8r234]

Turbos will soon become a basic component of every engine. There is no downside to them except weight, which is made up for in the boost created. They will continuosly be improved by being made smaller, more efficient, and cheaper...just like they're doing with jet engines. I have a boner.

[BULLITTx357]

BUt i can still change my cam and heads and headers and still run the sts sytem for my car or does it have to be stock?

[usmusclemods]

@BULLITTx357 Yeah, you can still beef up any other parts that you want too. Adding much more power than the base turbo system though and you'll want to start beefing up the motor and other parts to hold the power.

[Soprano313]

Love the vid, very informative for us Vette enthusiast that are looking into a TT project. Thanks!!!

[7T9vette]

How much did the whole set up cost u

[beeman4266]

Why is it that every supercharged \ turbo c5 corvette I look at is always a Z06? I'm looking into a twin turbo kit for my C5, is it such a bad thing to put a turbo \ supercharger on a regular C5 and not a Z06?

[Way2Evl]

360hp on the dyno, not 330. Unless your on a mustang dyno and who dynos on those??

[360mmspider]

i see what the guy is talking about between keeping it naturally aspirated or forced intro. i personally would like doing both. but if you are going pick it would be a tough one to pick.

[TheSmoonge]

what's the difference between heads and headers? excuse my noobiness, but inquiring minds want to know.

[usmusclemods]

@TheSmoonge Heads are part of the engine, and headers are part of the exhaust.

[TheSmoonge]

@usmusclemods Oh yeah, now I remember. But why do you have to upgrade the piston heads when you do a twin turbo mod?

[sniperlif3]

@TheSmoonge Heads refer to cylinder heads which are what hold the intake and exhaust valves. Headers refer to exhaust manifolds which take the exhaust from each cylinder and put them into the exhaust pipe.

[vfIskullangel]

I love STS Turbos. I hope to do one on my Camaro 3.8.

[1tokeover]

@vfIskullangel Why don't you save the money and get a v8 camaro?

[BlindedSn1per]

twins and its only puttin out 580hp?? learn how to tune

[brin3535]

@BlindedSn1per If you had payed attention to the video the man said it had a mild tune and runs 7 pounds of boost. This particular 'vette was meant to go fast, but not too fast.

[XxTheChosenxX01]

can i put twin sts turbos on my 03 2500 5.7L hemi dodge ram without changing heads or anything else

[olszeric]

I fell asleep did he open it up and demo the turbo?

[motorchad]

california? STS is in provo utah. this was filmed in utah. i am in the Utah national guard and i drill near STS.

[usmusclemods]

@motorchad Yes, they are in Provo Utah. 

[flawns]

is this legal in the state of California? i would LOOOOOOVE to buy them, but dont want to waste money and then seeing i failed the smog test

[usmusclemods]

@flawns I'm pretty positive that they are legal in cali. It's super charged vehicles that typically are really bad on emissions. The best way to be positive would be to give STS turbo a call.

[flawns]

@usmusclemods VERY true! thanks for your help. 

[tannersword1]

geneva road in lindon?

saw your vettes at the thanksgiving pt show this month! very impressive...

[vetteburna]

Do they have anything for Jeeps? I'm currently rebuilding a 94 Jeep YJ, In order to get more power, most people replace the inline-6 for chevy 350's.. I wanted to keep the stock motor, but rebuild it with a supercharger or twin turbo system..

[ViciousC6]

i went with the TT Kit on my c6.. amazing set up.. but i maybe woulda went with heads cam an intake and also some spray for when i wanted to go real fast..reason being.. ive had way too many problems with miss fires and car being down with the TT kit

[richie19r]

whats sweet is the z06 cam is actually a pretty good boost cam for not having a custom one ground

[costa9449]

just wondering whats the pint of havin twin tubos if u only run 7psi

[Marc99GT]

580 rwhp on probably low boost, pump gas on the stock engine is crazy power. P&P heads and turbo cam and would shoot past 600 rwhp.

[Moroccan4lifeone]

he didnt precise what kind of valve springs are recommended for higher hp setups...

[jeffzahnd]

I never understood the concern about turbo lag when it comes to running on a v8. The corvette stock has so much torque that any turbo lag of the line will actually help you get off the line a lot better when you're able to have better traction before the boost builds up.

[bulldogendaa]

@jeffzahnd exactly hence the traction problems with turbo setups on say integras, like mine :P

[Coches]

boring

[LilNug]

at 3:15 sounded like a misfire

[auditrevor]

its the waste gates opening up

[meadowz06]

The system is a good concept. But what turbo's do you use? Garrett?

[sanketkm]

STS read the title ;)

[cobra96svt570]

i did a custom homade rear mount on my 96 cobra, and i used a t70,AR.70COMP AR.84 TURBINE, and there is no lagg at all!,and instead of using the oil from the engine and having to worry about loosing a line, or something like that, i made its own oil system, with 2 elctric scavenge pumps, a resivor, and a filter, all in the trunk.i Had a problem at idle low rpm burnin oil, so With a homade boosta pump it increases flow when amps increase in the alternator, so theres more PSI at hi rpm,

[joelz1221]

ok i have a 2001 gsr integra that ive always wanted to turbo, but here the problem i refuse to sacrifice my a/c but it seems with the sts turbo i will be able to produce highhorsepower without removing my a/c correct? I kno i can get a manifold to keep my a/c in the integra but ive heard i wouldnt put down any really good numbers?..

[usmusclemods]

to be honest, we haven't really dealt with the integras, so I'm not sure. It would probably be best for you to contacts sts turbo to be sure. But I believe you are correct.

[scottiethebody0]

peak boost top mount allow you to retain AC and power steering i believe

[MagicalMrSkylar]

keep ur integra as is, great cars but not performance cars, and get a junk camaro and fix it up, the do its suspention, freshen up the engine, and add a turbo system. just my 2 cents

[YuLost2X]

@joelz1221 if ur biggest concerns is the a/c when turbo charging ur car, i dont think you should do it because u will run into many problems.(as every car does when u turbo it)

[testify221]

@joelz1221 Sell the integra

[JGMagoo]

The one thing that really worries me is the long-term durability/reliabillity of the electric turbo oil return pumps.

Can you give me any reassurances on those:

Thanks.

[skylinrcr2]

Can you sayy TTTUuubooo LaaGGGG!!

[usmusclemods]

There wasn't any lag, as soon as the engine starts running, the pipes are filled. It's just like using a waster hose, fill up the hose, it takes a second, then try turning it on again, and the pressure is there immediately. Same thing.

[04Forester]

@usmusclemods

[636rx8]

What lag?Did you even watch the video?

[motorchad]

@skylinrcr2 you do know the whole reason for twin turbos are to eliminate turbo lag right? the first turbo spools in the lower RPMs and the other turbo spools in the high RPMs to minimize turbo lag. the owner mentioned that he runs 7 psi. if both turbos spooled at the same time, why would you need 2 turbos to generate 7 psi. a single turbo can easily generate 15 to 20 psi.

[sniper1334]

@motorchad I doubt this vette is running a sequential set-up. It's more than likely parallel.

[mikesteelheart]

I don't understand how an engine with 10.25-1 compression (or something like that) can safely take 7-9psi boost when people say a carbureted 350 with 8.5-1 shouldn't take more then 6psi.

I bet you're gonna tell me that the computer on these newer engines adjusts the air/fuel ratio and timing so it can happen.

[usmusclemods]

Most of the stock engines that run the sts turbo kits run at 5 psi, and then after the motor is built they run at a higher boost.

[blown0883]

okk i know this sounds dumb but i want to put the universal kit on my honda but, i dont want it to be loud( as i see almost all hondas with the fart cannons). is it possible to mount the turbo and everything in the rear but still have a muffler?

[usmusclemods]

Not that I know of. Keep in mind though that a turbo is going to muffle quite a bit of sound, and the sound of a honda and the sound of a corvette are going to be very different, in terms of loudness.

[jmangle]

Yes, it is. Call 'em up, it can be done. (If you go without a muffler, it sounds like a really, really big electric drill, not like your car is taking a post-Taco Bell shit.)

[usmusclemods]

Thanks for contributing.

[kcole939]

That is absolutely amazing, 240 more horsepower on a stock engine. Sounds amazing too.

[ShamusOGrady2]

i wanna get an STS turbo for my avalanche.

[SagaraSouske]

This thing is comparable to LG's G7 cam for the C6 Z06

[adiosk8erxxx]

lol wow amazing power

so if u do put rough cams

headers heads ud easily

hit 700whp without upping

the boost =D

[Th0M4S777]

lumpy cams dont work well with turbo due to valvetrain timing

[jmecrg]

turbos also like high gear ratios I`m seriously considering this for my tahoe shit I`ve already ordered the headers to start the 2.5 dual to single exhaust

[CDakaMAXIMUS]

Nice Vette Wild Bill!

[Rafflersauce]

awesome :D

[DiEGO2DaBAY]

cool vette.

[jpflan64]

Way to go, Wild Bill! Your Vette is AWESOME!! STS is lucky to have you... as their sales manager, and a spokesman!!

[wildbilldevine]

Well thank you for the compliment.
