60# Injectors FTW

 

well guys thanks for the help you gave me but just this afternoon when i went out to play with the car i exploded the tranny so now its time for a good drum and sprag i guess and maybe a RMVB but sadly i will need to back out on my deal with the STS i was going for. why do these things need to cost so much.

 

hey what happened to TRT?

 

I'm still here, just directing funds to a big project for a month or so.

 

i know there is a company here that makes a better I pipe going into the sts turbo that helps with ground clearance. anyone know where i can get it?? i neeed one right bout now

 

Dynomax.....

 

whats the project?

 

How much on average is a sts kit coming to with all the "needed" parts?

 

THere are a couple. One is partial sponsorship of a Silverado SS. So far at 10psi in a 5600lb truck its at 7.35 1/8 mile. We are gonna get it in the 6's.
The other is my old '92 GMC Sierra. It has a forged 347, Patriot heads, built 4L60 ( may go th-400 with a brake), Vig 3200, our own turbo cam, Victor Jr. PT-74 mounted in the bed. We are planning on 15psi and 10's out of it. I'll pass on info as it comes.

 

Should Be Bad ***

 

What do you mean dynomax? They make a specific I-pipe for turbo applications? or are you referring to just plain straight pipe and having it reshaped for the car?

 

the Dynomax 2 piece I pipe is great for mounting the STS. I puts the turbo higher than normal.

 

do you have a link to that? or some pics of it installed

edit: is it these two?

i guess it runs over the axle higher up?

 

yea link please.. i cant find the pipe from dynomax that actually hooks up to the turbo

 

Yep, thats it. It is larger, so if you are just putting an STS kit on, the pipe that the turbo mounts on will go inside instead of outside. When mounted right, it will allow the turbo to be as high as possible.

 

those pipes looks nice, looks like ill try them out. and just to make sure, the pipe size the kit comes with from the turbo to the engine is 2.5inch right??

 

The only thing i didht like about the sts kit was that i had 2 cut out 1 of my frame connetors...But i welded the 1 tube in its place hope that works...I put the kit in alone it was easy step by step...The ground clear. was a little low, so i put spring bags in the back and a 28in. drag radial...Needed it any way had no trac. Jeffboy757 yes the pipe is 2.5in

 

Mine is 2.75" and it reduces down to 2.5". The stock exhaust coming over the axle is 2.5". I thought it was best not to use 3" due to it affecting velocity and spool?

 

i have the dynomax on my car and thats what helped make my turbo sit higher than normal, other than having them clock it too

 

I just welded a bracket onto the pipe that goes over the axle so that the pipe would sit higher.
