Anyone with a STS Turbo Kit???

**firemedic** · 12-15-2008, 11:43 AM

I am going to turbocharge my Magnum SRT-8 and looking for feedback from anyone with the STS Turbo Kit. Any info is appreciated.

I've just heard positive things but that was from STS directly.

Looking to do an STS setup on my charger in the near future I have also heard good things with tuning from diablo.

Has anyone posted any 1/4 mile times with their set up?

i know that they had some issues with the LX's initially... haven't heard much on hemi's. but i know they have been on hemi rams for awhile. i have heard more good than bad though

Did anyone ever actually get an STS turbo kit?

the two guys I know of that are running turbos. one is the sts system and that didnt go well. ended up blowing up the motor and the other guy has a single and that motor went pop too. I would stay away from turbos till we get better tuning

Or get in touch with someone that has some idea of how to add fuel for part throttle boost...

hmmm... I think I mentioned how to do this elsewhere...

here's a hint... most wideband O2 kits have a programmable "narrow band" output...and those kits that do, would solve this problem...if used appropriately...

just poiinting out howards and adams cars both went pop. I dont know of any turbo LX's that are running 100% do you? I am not trying ot be a smart a$$ I would love to see some of these cars work and put down monster numbers, I just havnt seen it yet

there's a guy with a black charger here in texas with STS and he has no problems to the best of my knowledge

**8yourM5** · 07-12-2009, 05:40 PM

thats sick get him on here!! any idea who tuned his car?

My point is that everyone keeps ignoring the one biggest problem with turbos AND positive displacement blowers (like your Kenne Bell)...

The car's computer has no way...ABSOLUTELY ZERO... control to add fuel for part throttle boost...

and nobody wants to talk about it...or offer a way to fix it... even Kenne Bell wont divulge what they have done to add fuel for part throttle boost...

but here's my guess... that sweet little "patented bypass valve" they have with their kits...is probably electronically controlled to only close under WOT as commanded by the WOT vs. pedal position maps in the predator... ( I await anxiously for what they actually do...not just a rebuttal...)

which means your still giving up part throttle boost and power...but not all of it...

there is a much better solution...and guys like this need to put some thought into it and discuss it...

so take what I said earlier, and run with it...let's see where the discussion leads...

there were a handfull of CIS turbos on the road for many thousands of miles.
no intercooler, just meth.

the guy who made the system is now pimping that IEMS3 (or whatever it is) that is that standalone engine controller because its the only way to do it safely outside of what has been mentioned above

Discussed ad nauseam. Solution alludes due to denial, monetary concerns or limited application. If there were a buck to be made here, certainly someone would've invented it, wouldn't they?
