Im about to buy a sts rear mount turbo system, but wont have the money to find out how to tune it. Will I blow my motor with just 5 psi. I will be putting larger injectors from TVT.

 

I suggest you save some more money and read a little more about turbocharging.

Corky Bell's "Maximum Boost" is an excellent read.

 

Best of luck......you have to let us know how it turns out.


Are we taking bets yet......or do we wait for the 20th post?

 

Subscribing. I'm looking into the STS system so I would like to see what happens for you
Will it be a pony maker or car breaker...

 

I boosted (DIY rear mount turbo) a stock fuel injected 92 Camaro 5.0 with 5 lbs of boost. No other mods other than an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. No issues except for some blow-by cuz the engine was a bit tired.
NO turbo lag and the sound of the turbo spooling up is just soooo sweeeeeeet!
I'd do it. Just don't get greedy and try for 10 lbs!

 

Those TVT injectors are good but not enought for the STS turbo. Be careful.

 

How big of injectors would one need for 5 psi set up? and do you know where i could find them?

 

8 posts.. join date january 2009.. turbo'ing the crossfire...

i bet 10$ in 3 months we will not see him again!


but good luck on the turbo! let us know!

 

What about me, I've been with a member much longer and I plan on going with Squires as soon as i move back from Japan... So keep the thread going so i can learn about this system.

 

We sell several sizes of injectors. We've helped fuel 2 turbo projects so far. With 5 psi you could get away with 21 lbs and a good tune.

 

I'm wanting TVT do help me with my whole STS set-up

 

I don't know if 21 lbs is enough but Deep Stage said 19.2 lbs was not enough. They do a turbo every 3 days there. Also, the STS turbo will do 7 psi on a v6 so why 5? The turbo will hangle up to 12 psi too.

 

5 psi sounds safe for a stock set up!

I had a probe GT that I ran 6lbs of boost on with a stock setup for years and had no problem! The car ran a little lean at time, but it was not smart to boost in 5th gear!

On my Probe GT-ZE that was rated at 200 hp with high compression. I have friends that have ran 6lbs of boost on theres with no tune and made over 300hp.

Nevertheless, a good tune does wonders to the way the car run and power gains!

 

Went to STS website and didnt see a Crossfire application. What is the price and claimed RWHP?

 

You have to buy the universal system ($2995) and it claims 100+ hp gain

 

do it and the only thing you'll do is splatter your motor all over the track.

 

BAH-HUM-BUG, Chuck has already proved that our NA motors can handle boost. I think it your wise with the application your car would be fine.

 

but didnt he tune his car? this guy is talking about no tune and presumably some aggressive driving.

 

From what the thread said, no chuck did not tune. but he may have. I know if i go this route i will be tuning my car before anything.
