"this car ran the 1/8th mile at 94 mph, at which point the driver backed out and still finished the 1/4 mile in 13.1 seconds at 95 mph."

Kinda cool, but still, kinda not.

 

steal that **** in 2 minutes

 

then get the *** beating/prison raping of your life

 

I wonder what would happen if you drove over a puddle and and splashed the exhaust housing/manifold after a long run....I don't see those living long!

 

Damn...that is really stupid to do on a honda.

 

HAHAHAHA.......................
Ok talk about finding something to do.
I Hope you don't hit a bump with that turbo there or be able to go into drive ways oh and talk about getting your turbo jacked for easy acces...
Hehe this **** is funny and should not be done.
Even if someone pay me I wouldn't do this to my car
leave that car parked anywhere and free turbo

 

mad sl33p3r tho if u think about it...

 

wierd!!!!!!!

 

why would lower underhood temps be benificial when the intake is at the bumper of the car? ah haha

yo, check out my new t setup. No, not there. It's in the back. Huh?

 

damn!!!!hell the car is probably red lining when the turbo starts to spool lol

 

I think i saw this 2 years ago

 

hey atleast its got the sleeper look going under the hood

I actually brought this up last time I was over there. Ben, the CEO, told me that they just tack weld the bolts in place so it can't be stolen. But I guess you could steal it if you really wanted to and had a hack saw handy...but then again, people will steal your **** even if it's under your hood...

About going through puddles and whatnot, Ben called Garrett and asked them if the turbine housing would crack if it was hot and got splashed.... they laughed at him and told him it would never happen... and it hasn't yet, they have been selling these things for about a year and a half now with absolutely no issues!

One of their biggest obstacles right now is getting people to believe that it actually works. Every one has the same objections when they first see the kit, but STS solved them before they came to market.

Anyways, I would never buy one for my car... but if I had a Toyota Tacoma or a LS1 camaro... I'd be all over that ****

They sound incredible and really make a ton of useable power. It's hard to believe until you have actually ridden in a vehicle with one.

 

Excellent comment...would this be considered for a Honda? NO!

LS1 ? Most definetly give it thought, just look in the engine bay of those cars, takes a couple hours just to change the spark plugs, let alone get a turbo system in there.

 

i have a good friend of mine that just installed the STS kit on his 04 Chevy SS truck.. good god that turbo is loud as **** when it spools up, i have not had a chance to ride in the car but maybe this weekend. when he showed it to me, he had not yet installed the larger injectors or the methanol injection kit that you can buy with the kit, but its been 2 weeks so im sure he has everything installed now.. ill try to get some video tape or pics of it if anyone is interested..

and as for the kit for hondas, i dont see a point to much with it.. there would be alot of lag i think like everyone has said but with a bigger v8 motor, im sure the lag is better

 

haha lmao you clown

I have a tacoma and I can tell you there is much cheaper traditional turbo kits on the market than this or at least for the 4s. In a tacoma 4, room is the least of you worries. I know I could piece together a kit for alot less than that.

I hear what your saying with cars like the camaro, but then again I have seen some nice looking turbo setups on those cars too.

I'd like to see how this kit compares to the proven centrifugal supercharges for v8 in terms of performance.

Heads/Cam, Forged Motor, OBX intercooler, STS T70 @ 10 psi. It makes a good amount of power, but it does spool very late compared to a conventionally mounted turbo. He said it isn't making 10 psi till about 4000 RPM's on a .81 housing, but a turbo like that on a conventional turbo setup with a .81 housing is going to make 10 psi about 800-1000 RPM's quicker.

The vortech's can only mount a tiny head unit unless you go expensive aftermarket for brackets and tensioners. The prochargers have huge belt slip issues unless you go to an expensive aftermarket brackets and tensioners. I think an STS or a home made STS style kit is a very viable alternative for people who don't want 1000 RWHP and don't want to deal with throwing belts.

 

I pitted next to this guy last summer at the track. Very nice, and very intelligent. This is his first time in the Honda racing world. With a b18b block (his Type r was out to be sleeved) and an FMU in combination with 100% methanol injection ran a either a high 12 or low 13....don't really remember.

Other cars have been doing this for years, I don't really remember all the reasons why he didn't, and I'm not about to go out and switch my traditional turbo setup for a rear set-up, but it definately works.

This was at 4200 ft. altitude, so those are pretty decent times.

Edit: After reading the page, it was a 13.1 1/4 mile. That was after only 2 or 3 runs though, and his first time racing FWD. Not too bad in my book.
