STS Twin Turbo on my RT

**70TA-09RT** · 07-23-2009, 02:53 PM

Hey figured I'd bring everyone up to date on my most recent project which started on Monday, I took my car into RDP Motorsport for the first of this instalation on a 5.7 VVT Challenger. The turbo set-up is from STS and were designed to handle up to 1000hp so they were custom built and the individual has decided to go bigger and had no use for them. So with statment I did get one heck of good deal on the entire set-up, the downside is I have to sell my MBRP exhaust as it doesn't make sense to cut it up so I will be getting a custom exhaust also. We are hoping to be in the 500 to 600hp range out of the stock block and run it until the pistons or the intake crack or fail. Being a first dynosteve says this is the fun part of doing these projects and figures that I should have the car back next week. As far as what we are adding to the kit chnaging the injectors going with 55s, boost a pump, it will have the most up-to-date safety devices installed.
Here are some pics of the wiring, intercooler and plumbing to date, enjoy and feedback is welcome

can't wait to know how much abuse the stock bottom can take and how well the turbo instal goes... im pretty interested in these systems,.

I heard about your install and was wondering when I'd see some pics

Can't wait to see some 1/4 mile slips

as is typical of boost, the tuning will be the issue.

With proper tuning that thing will be a TORQUE MONSTER!

Good luck.

I went out to RDP last night and got to see the progress and get some ansewrs to questions about the system being installed. Steve said he wants me to enjoy the car until the winter rolls around and asked me not to break it

I said okay how much boost are we going to be running and he said "7 to 8 pounds" is safe and lets use that as are starting point. Then over the winter we can see what is going on inside the engine.

He also decided to use all of the MBRP 3" piping for the exhaust and will remove the mufflers and the resonators so this should look really clean and he is going to design a custom tip.
more pics of the install

plumbing to the intercooler complete

STS Turbo on the bench and 1 installed

I am hopping that they have this bad boy running today provided the rest of the parts come in this morning.
