This turbo replaces your muffler on your Camaro, Z28, SS, Ram Air Trans Am, Formula or Firehawk!
Why use a remote mount turbo?
Turbochargers are designed to operate at these temperatures without causing damage to the turbocharger, which is pretty amazing. However, most of the components under the hood of current vehicles were not designed to operate at this temperature or anything close to it. In order to place a turbocharger in an already overcrowded engine compartment it is necessary to do a lot more than just make some room for the turbo itself. Any component that is located next to or near the turbocharger or any of the related exhaust ducting has to be relocated or extremely insulated to ensure that it is protected from the heat produced by the turbocharger and related components. This process can be accomplished, but not without major modifications and relocation of parts, harnesses, hoses, and components. With the limited amount of space and airflow under the hood of newer vehicles, you can imagine what the underhood temperatures can reach with the turbocharger and related piping producing this kind of heat.
STS Turbocharger kits feature New Garrett Turbochargers.
STS Turbocharger Kits feature TiAL wastegates for accurate and dependable boost level regulation.
347 Stainless Steel Alloy is used for valve and valve housing.
High temperature silicone Nomex reinforced actuator diaphragm
17-7 PH Stainless Steel actuator spring gives consistent pressure at high temperature, resists "relaxing" at temperature to 900F (483C)
Nitronic 60 Stainless Steel is used for the valve seat, and valve bushing the same material used in the higher level gates for reliability and longevity
CNC Machined 304L 12mm thick weld flanges
100% made is USA
More Reasons to use a remote mount Turbo:
-
Ease of installation. Our turbocharger systems can be installed in 4-6 hours with standard tools and average mechanical ability.
-
No need for major modifications to your vehicle to fit the turbocharger system. Our systems are designed to bolt on using factory mounts.
-
Lower underhood temperatures and no need to worry about melting wires, hoses, or other components.
-
More room under the hood than stock vehicles so that future repair work or modifications will not require the expense of removing the turbo system to allow access to any of the engine components.
-
Cooler oil to the turbocharger and cooler oil being pumped back to your engine as well as increased oil capacity.
-
Approximately 500F lower turbocharger temperatures which eliminates the need for a turbo-timer to allow engine to run after car is shut off to cool down turbo and prevent oil and bearing damage that occur when engine is shut off while turbo is still extremely hot.
-
Denser exhaust gasses to drive the turbocharger turbine wheel more efficiently.
-
Good intercooler efficiency without the expense, pressure drop, and installation problems associated with a front mounted intercooler.
-
Turbocharger is exposed to ambient air rather than underhood air which allows for better cooling of turbocharger components.
-
No need for expensive headers, mufflers, or exhaust systems.
-
Turbocharger is closer to the tail pipe outlet which provides a better pressure differential across the turbine wheel which promotes better flow across turbine.
-
Easily converts back to stock in less than 2 hours.
-
Better weight transfer for increased traction with bulk of system mounted in rear of vehicle rather than up front.
-
Less noise in the passenger compartment.
-
Quieter wastegates, especially if vented to atmosphere.
-
Better engine cooling capacity than with conventional turbo system, especially those with front mounted intercoolers.
-
Built in intercooling from the heat dissipation through the charge air tubing that is mostly located out of the engine compartment and exposed to ambient air.
-
No need to add turbo-timers or auxiliary oil system pre-lubrication devices.
