because hes trying to pull oil out of the block.......

try to keep up here.

xCobalt05x

if it was that easy, it would have been done already but considering the hole that is on the block is about ohhhh id say 10 times bigger then the an-4 fitting at the end of the hose, not to mention that its a female fitting on the block and the hose end is also a female fitting, need one male and one female enorder for it to work. think of the hole on the block as the size of a nickle and the hole on the end of the hose is the size of a dime, need something to step down the big hole to the size of the little hole.

I think hes just asking why you can't use your nitrous line for the oil return which if that is a -4AN fitting it should technically work but then thats not your issue in the first place.

xCobalt05x

i knew what he was getting at so i just had to clearify what my issue was. good call though

I found this picture of an engine mounted turbo.... Look how hot this thing gets

IonFeright

I hope that wasnt your reason for buying a remote mount...that, or "the sound it makes"...

And how do you plan on hitting up the track Friday if you dont have a tune?

wonder if my **** glows like that... I know my DP used to when I was s/c'd lol.

xCobalt05x

its already tuned for 10psi of boost my friend, i just orderd the fitting i need from hahn via phone call and they are over nighting it. will be here tomorrow after noon. vince and i are going to be spending an hour on the dyno getting afr's and tweaking and peaking the base 10psi boost tune that we already loaded up on the car

if you push it to 2k degree's yes.

here is a quote from sts that i just love to death.... pulled it off their web site

We encourage you to continue your investigation into the many benefits of STS remote-mounted turbocharging, and remind you not to always trust the uninformed traditionalist masses, i.e. uniformed traditionalists used to also believe the earth was flat.

STS Turbo is The Smart Choice in forced induction!

.. yea there's also another saying..

don't believe everything you read... i wanna see your numbers vs a comparable 2.2 build.. no **** they're gonna say something like that to get you to buy their ****...

IonFeright

that sounds like a pro-tabacco ad.

xCobalt05x

double post here

i found this on their site too

Benefits of STS Remote-Mounted Turbochargers




Ease of installation. STS turbo systems can be installed in about 8 hours with standard tools and average mechanical ability.

Performance Sound. The turbo acts as a muffler and sounds like an aftermarket performance muffler. Turbo spool and rushing air from the blow-off valve make a unique sound that will turn heads!

No need for major modifications to your vehicle. STS systems are designed to "bolt-on" to factory mounts.

Increased gas mileage. Unlike a belt driven supercharger, the turbo utilizes "wasted" energy leaving your tailpipe. Most of our customers get 1-3 mpg increase in gas mileage compared to their original stock mpg numbers.

Lower underhood temperatures. No need to worry about melting wires, hoses, or other components.

Converts back to stock in about an hour.

More room under the hood. Future repair work or modifications will not require the expense of removing the turbo system to allow access to engine components.

Cooler oil to the turbo. Cool oil is better for both the turbo and engine.


Approximately 500F lower turbo temperatures. Eliminates the need for a turbo-timer, which allows the engine to run after the car is shut off in order to cool down the turbo and prevent oil and bearing damage.

Denser exhaust gasses drive the turbo turbine wheel more efficiently.

Built-in intercooling. Intake piping provides ~50% intercooler efficiency. There is no need for the expense, pressure drop, and installation problems associated with a front mounted intercooler.

Turbo is exposed to ambient air rather than underhood air. Allows for better cooling of turbo components.

No need for expensive headers, mufflers, or exhaust systems.

Turbo is closer to the tail pipe outlet. Provides a better pressure differential across the turbine wheel which promotes better flow across turbine.

Better weight transfer. Increases traction because the bulk of system is mounted in rear of vehicle rather than up front.

Less noise in the passenger compartment.

wow.. seriously.. .. sorry man it's your project but you're ******* dense.. they;re web site should say all that.. THEY"RE TRYING TO SELL IT TO YOU!!!

does eatons stuff say.. woefully inefficient massive heat production and limited up-gradability no.. **** man..

if we're going based on what their website says then the procharger is about 200000000000x better then anything out there.. but in reality it totally isn't

Area47

pressure drop eh?

3 ft long intercooler vs 10 ft of piping.

..............

xCobalt05x

hmm its funny that all the shops out here that have installed the sts on other cars believed the same thing as the rest of you and then after they put the car on the dyno they were turned believers.

Area47

there is an sts integra here in kc. got raped by a "traditional" style turbo teg.

im not saying they don't work, they serve a purpose.

if sts kits are so damn good. why is it some of the fastest cars in the country have turbo's within 3 ft of the engine?

don't give me any ideas lol

at 3k+ for install no **** they were "turned into believers" they make a shitload of money off of it

06blackg85ss

thats a great line right there, def sig worthy

Area47

thats the only way you're going to see a turbo glow orange, yellow, white.

if you can see through the header/exhaust housing. rest asured, you just melted all 4.


before i get flamed by the op. i have seen sts cars run 9's with an sts kit and a built nasty motor.

can it make power? yes, can it do it efficiently? not exactly.

heat affects spool time.

jimbos'ss

iTrader: (2)

that would be a bad day

elecblue06

iTrader: (1)

exactly what the Op isn't understanding..

there are all motor cars that run 9's ... is it the best way to do things and most cost effective... **** no..

victory_red_SS

iTrader: (2)

Does it really matter if the STS is "cost effective" if he has already bought and paid for it??? The results at this point are all that matter.
And on the cost effective part once more, does anyone actually think my car is "cost effective??? No f'ing way but I am not getting this crap.

Area47

your car is cost effective compared to a veyron

06blackg85ss

iTrader: (1)

cost effective is not what I believe nor will argue with the op on. I'm happy he at least decided to go turbo.
It's probably going to be a bit laggy and if he dropped compression low end power will definitely suffer. But once it does spool car should be pretty fast.
As for pressure drop, 10' of 2.5" or 3" piping in some cases would have less pressure drop dependin on the Cubic ft volume of the intercooler.

well pretty much anything is lol
