I own a 3.4 firebird, and I was woundering if the lt1 sts turbo kit would work, I planned on swapping out the turbo it comes with, with the one from the toyota tacoma kit, since I have read that the lt1 turbo is to big, do yall think it will work?

Re: sts turbo
you're going to have to give a better definition of "work." I know a friend who put a STS turbo on his 3.8 and ran a blazing mid-14 1/4 time.
Did his car "work" well enough to get to the track and back? Sure
Did it "work" well enough to get the money's worth? I think the answer is self-evident -
Re: sts turbo
What type of turbo was he using and at what psi, I planned on running 12psi from the tacoma turbo. They showed that the tacoma made 300+whp with 12psi, so since the tacoma makes the same whp and close to the same displacement as a 3.4 firebird I was thinking it would work, just might I have try it.Originally posted by Smoke Panther3.4l 500hp to wheels <br />still dreamingComment

Re: sts turbo
agreed, you have to think of terms in compression, fuel regualtion, cooling, engine displacement, etc.Originally posted by White95Car expresses who you are.

Re: sts turbo
Nice car man, which stage did you use for the universal kit, and did it come with a intercooler and the oil filter adapter?Originally posted by travis brackett3.4l 500hp to wheels <br />still dreamingComment

Re: sts turbo
Yes, I know they are not the same, I was just stating that maybe by using the tacoma turbo you woundn't have the spooling issues as a lt1 turbo since it's smaller.Originally posted by White95Last edited by firebirdv6 3.4; 10-12-2007, 07:06 PM.3.4l 500hp to wheels <br />still dreamingComment

Re: sts turbo
from what I know, and from what I have seen and been through...the STS is not the way to go. If your gonna do it one way, and the right way, make a front mount turbo setup.Juiced Rally Red 98 A4<br /><br />Way too much to list....<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2263415\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2263415</a>Comment

Re: sts turbo
I know man, but you have to admit the sts setup is pretty clean looking.:)Originally posted by Kidcamaro983.4l 500hp to wheels <br />still dreamingComment

Re: sts turbo
Clean?? Where do you get that from? Cant drive the car in the rain, your turbo is visable to anything that walks by....not to mention the air filter sucks up anything possible....including when your on dusty roads.
I guess its a cool design?? But its inferior compared to a front mount.Juiced Rally Red 98 A4<br /><br />Way too much to list....<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2263415\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2263415</a>Comment

Re: sts turbo
I don't know why everybody is hating on the sts kits, everybody that I have talked to that has one loves them, they seem to be making some pretty good numbers both on the dyno, and at the track.3.4l 500hp to wheels <br />still dreamingComment
