here's the setup

Uberdata tuned
DSM 450s
STS remote mounted prototype turbo
t3/t4
non-intercooled
LS/Vtec - stock internals
6psi

I made 267hp at 6psi as you will see in the graph.



At a road race course in Wendover UT/NV I went 4th overall, behind an Evo, an STI, and a 600whp Type R. In the rest of the fray were a Lotus Elise, 2 more STI's, and a 450hp EVO.

Here's a pic of the turbo. BTW, my EGTs are never over 800, and on the road/autox course my car never even thought of getting hot, when the evo's and sti's were all warming fast.

nice any pic of ur car?

no intercooler? wow..interesting setup..

Nice. I remember reading about the STS turbo set up a little while back. Seemed a bit odd, but
its good to see it actually applied. What made you go with the Sts kit? And out of curiosity do you lose boost pressure, since the compressed air has a long way to travel back to the engine?

kick their *** sea bass!

Rod.

intresting...first time seeing a dyno from that kit

GSR92

nice. i wish my car put down those numbers

shinobijesus

so what would happen if you put an intercooler on it? or is that not possible for some reason?

Here's a pic of my car on the dyno, dirty, and still with stock wheels. I now have a set of 2000 SI wheels (with the drag radials), and a set of konig nexts with azenis.



I went with the STS kit because it has some great advantages.
1. The oil gets cooled on its way back to the turbo, and again on the way back to the motor (it uses pump system)
2. The air gets cooler as well.
3. No glowing red hot turbo under your hood (one reason my car didn't get hot at the road course/autox, btw i ran more laps than anyone there - 55!)
4. Also the turbo doesn't ever really get that hot, you can touch the exhaust housing after about 10 minutes.
5. probably the coolest thing about the whole kit is the turbo spool sound out of the exhaust

You don't lose any boost from having it in the back (it all depends where your wastegate is plumbed from - mine comes off the plenum so it doesn't open until there is full boost there, not at the turbo), and you would think that the lag would be excessive, but its not any worse than an under hood car that i tuned last week with the same turbo.

There are some other things that are good about it, but thats all i can come up with at the moment.

I can hook up an intercooler, and i have. I just dont have the dyno from that yet. I also upped the boost a psi or two, so i should be well over 300whp, i should be going in the next week or so.

sick

thats the first time ive seen that much on a ls under 10 psi that is better than most gsr kits.

zZzZzZz!!!!!!!!! Way to go dude keep it up.

More pics!

girls call me pogi

Nice numbers. You ran it at the track yet? What ECU are you using?

It's an LS/VTEC, not just an LS.

eficker

The track opens soon, so i will post time when i get them.

I am running a P28 with Uber, but soon to go to crome.

I'll take some pics when i get that dog washed.

Thanks for the thumbs up guys!

phenom3030

how much did the whole kit end up costing?

eficker

Cost:

Well, i think that kit will retail for somwhere in the $2500-3000 range. Mine is the prototype, so i got a little bit better deal.

Spectrum24x

nice numbers, i got an all motor ls/vtec build, im puttin down 186 right now on 11.7:1 compression.
cams and headwork coming next.

That looks awesome, Totally a sleeper

The only drawback I can see is it looks like the turbo sits really low. It might just be the camera angle or something though?

I have a DA too, wanted to go turbo but the only thing thats keeping me from doing it is if a cop pops my hood and sees a turbo sitting there im fucked (I live in Southern Cali, home of the Honda **** cops). But this may be the answer to my problems . Definately subscribing to this thread

thats sick man! and the car looks so sleeper style, you must freak people out!!!!! id love to see the looks on there faces!

93formula

sweet numbers man, im one of the canadian dealers, and im putting together a civic with a d16z6 and hoping for over 300 at the wheels.

eficker

The turbo does kind of look low in that picture, but it isn't even close to being lower than the lower control arm. It may have been sagging at that time too, because the people that did my exhaust did weld the hanger on well, so i had to go back and fix it.

I'll get some more pics up as soon as i can. Also we're heading to the dyno next week with the intercooler hooked up and an extra pound of boost.

eficker

I have all the video edited from our autox/road race where i placed 4th overall. I am playing with the compression and will post it as soon as i get it all figured out...

shinobijesus

cool. im stayin subscribed to see these updates.

btw, if you can post the videos whatever size but maybe make one really small but show a kickass part... yeah i have dial up...
