STS REAR TURBO KIT - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

BuhhDill · 04-01-2014, 07:40 PM

I stumbled across this kit on youtube and thought that it was a win across the board.

No extra engine bay heat
No boost lag
Decent price ect.

Im wondering if anyone has seen these kits on a car?

Below is the youtube video link I saw

Its been mentioned before. I don't know of anyone who has bought the kit. Its pretty pricey. "Pending CARB" so they say.

Boost kicks in about 2800-3000 depends plus I am on really low boost so when I turn it up I will be able to better answer this. I was hoping to do so today but I am waiting to hear from Bill....

How do you have no boost lag when the turbo is that far away from the engine?

Pipe size basically.

Turbo MR2's and I have been in a STS Trans AM that was converted to a Front Mount. There was a 500-600rpm spool difference between them but they were also not the same size turbo the front mount was bigger I believe... I would have to check though.

It is hard for me to say as I am on the base tune no revisions due to not being able to get a hold of Bill. I am also only on 4psi for the same reason i want to be safe... but I will say its quite fun.

I do like the oil-less turbo setup.

Consider the piping on a fmic, including the pressure drop cause by the fmic itself, all the bends, etc. then consider a pipe the length of the car (almost) and no IC. The heat would be my bug draw to this, everyone seems to be having big issues with heat/turbos on this car.

Very interested in seeing how this set up performs after a tune. Thanks for the info

I just had mine installed about two weeks ago. First FRS/BRZ to get one besides the prototype. I love it. Sounds like a jet engine and it can get up to 80 in a couple seconds. It can go up to 12 psi, but I have it set to 8 psi right now.

There is one problem. The engine stalls out occasionally when I'm going about 5 m.ph., I'm not giving it any gas, and it doesn't stall out at 5 psi. Currently the shop that installed it and STS are trying to figure out what's going on.

Did you modify the fuel system?
