getting STS kit

[ZL1Killa]

I plan on getting an STS turbo kit and the car will remain at the stock 5psi boost levels, what other supporting mods would I need to do if i wasn't going to rag the car (dumping the clutch and other silly stuff) It would probably see a track trip on street tires but thats about it. and what tuning would i do?

Do i have to buy a 2 bar sensor or do i just tune in 2 bar (I'm a complete newbie on this) yes i just said newbie.

I would normally recommend running without the MAF on any forced induction motor and use a 2bar sensor, but it makes tuning it correctly fall soley on YOU.
If you can retain the MAF then it should get the fueling pretty close for the most part, others would know more about this, but I think with an 85mm MAF you should still be able to run about 5psi and not max it out?.

Of course, you will enjoy 5psi for a few weeks then want more!.

Cheers,
Ross

lol, i'm already running no MAF, my speed density will be done this coming Saturday when I go home from college.

LOL, I know eventually I will want more boost but right now in the situation I'm in with school and the car we can't afford to build a huge project car like some people have done. I think that i would have to replace what....?? 5psi on a stock block..what would it break? lol. Basically I'm looking at getting the turbo kit, keeping it at 5psi, getting rear control arms, and a panhard bar and matching that with a 12 bolt or more than likely a 9inch.....then after some time and saving some more money redo the tranny(have to take it easy until tranny gets done too)

I want to make the motor stronger and be able to last a while, its a father and son build....so yeh dad gets mad when the car isn't working or doesn't come out of the shop for a couple days....what can I say though, he loves to drive it

what exactly to i have to do when going forced induction and how do i use this 2 bar sensor? Do I have to buy anything or just double click the 2 bar on the pids on efilive scantool and log?

if you can't tell i know what it is, but i don't know a durn thing about it, lol. My speed density tune will be done this Saturday on my car and my AFR will finally be right.

2 bar sensor anyone??explain

[Tordne]

There are specific 2 bar sensors. In some other threads there are part numbers mentioned. Sorry I can't be more help I am still a poor N/A man

5 PSi of boost to me was....


Immediate replacement of clutch to ClutchMaster Stage 3
Strange 12 bolt (If you use sticky tires at the strip)
Adco Torque Arm to reduce wheel hop
LCA lowering brackets to reduce wheel hop
SFC to stop body flex
New 3" exhaust to let the engine breathe


Other stuff was optional!

When i order the STS kit I will also be ordering:

rear control arms
panhard bar
new fuel pump(if it doesn't come w/one which i don't think it does)
new injectors (60 or higher)


will the stock pushrods.....and valvetrain take the boost? I saw the build up of the camaro at EPP http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...Car.php?car=32

I do realize that I'm not running as much boost as he is, and that I don't have a built motor like he does either...but I really need mine to last

You need to remember I live at 5000 feet and did not say it was rightI said you could get away with it. I ahve three customers who cheaped on us when it came down to it with the 6 lb systems who only got injectors and tuning and they love it. Let me clarify, to be done right injectors should be moded to bosch style plugs no maf iridium plugs t body coolant bypassed trailblazer torque converter electronic boost controller with methanol (sts) and finally a custom operating system. Im sure I forgot something but you get the idea. I also have a tacome running 6 lb system with no fuel management and he is not nice to it. installed 11 months ago. also ATi makes a real nice second pump system that is complete for the ls1 cars I think its pretty reasonable

all i need to know about now is the 2 bar sensor that i would need, lol

I already got SFC, strut twr brc, exhaust, I'm going to be getting rear control arms and panhard bar
