Thanks Linxs. I was just curious about the implementation of this kit in my car at first, but
I did not mean to begin a quarreling conversation
with GN T-66. What works good for one person may
not work well for another... On the same token it
makes perfect sense to respond to an application
without negativity. We can all learn from each other, and we are all driving GM vehicles with
3800 powered engines. Every effort at trial and
error can truly help to save someone the headache
of making a repeat mistake! Everyone's input is
greatly appreciated by myself, and I hope we can
all learn from what we are doing to our rides. I
have set up a custom "STS Turbo" type of system
which is functional and ready to be tested on the
street for my V6 Firebird. I cant wait to try my performance against the FFF type kits and other custom kits because most people say it cannot be
done or it is not very effective. We shall see!
ones.

I read through your post today, I am interested in how it runs. Try and get some dyno runs so we can see what kind of power you are putting out (if possible).
This weekend I'll be playing with tuning my car with HPtuners. But I already have a baseline for before turbo, after turbo (no tuning) and I'll get another dyno ones she's tuned. Then it's off to the track.

get some times over dyno #'s or pics of the actual dyno graph because i think it will really only make its power in the high rpm range.

Me? I have a graph I just forgot it at Tiago's house. I'll get it this weekend.

Oooh! OOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I wanna speak my mind! Clean setup!!!! Serious. Me likey allotty.
Who cares if it gets louder when you move into the passing lane or pace yourself up a hill or whatever. I think you'll have plenty of double-takes when you demand.

Could you wire it with a WOT switch? IMHO that would make more sense than having it open at 1psi.

There might be a way to do that but I do not drive WOT much even when i'm passing cars on the freeway. I'm going to try it. If I do not like it I can always change it. The actuator can be set to what ever the owner wants it to open at. I'll play with it and who knows maybe i'll change my mind. Only way to know is to do it. </font>[/QUOTE]I see, I didn't really think about that and just assumed that it needed to be open in racing situations.

I want to get some dyno runs in, but I am a little upset with the local speed shop charging over $100.00 for three pulls. I am thinking about going the G-Tech pro route. I feel that the
accuracy is pretty good as a dyno anyhow, but I notice that the STS site uses it also. There is too much ability to "error" in the readings if all the parameters are not correct so a real dyno will disclose the discrepancies. I used
this on my firebird a few years ago and got a baseline 0-60 6.875 seconds with 199 hp at the wheels (eqivalent to about 240 engine hp) This is an automatic that weighs 3460 lbs with me in it. I have added more bolt on upgrades and am getting
around 0-60 in 6.5 sec. This is all before the turbo is added. Once it is complete and tuned I
will get the dyno runs.

stick with a chassis dyno.. mustang or dynojet, either one will work fine. that way you'll get accurate numbers. G techs are novel toys, but nothing close to accurate ;)

Thank you, I will. It is the only true way to
bust the myth behind remote mounted systems.

I've ridden in more than 1 STS car, and i'll be the first one to tell you, it's no myth. As it's been said, you can't break the laws of physics.

True, but I bet it felt real nice when you hit full boost! You know it works as well..
