STS turbo

[68charger]

Is there anybody on here or know of anyone using that STS turbo sys. on there truck? is it any good?:dontknow:

 

[viperhauler]

it's great for blowing it up.

every single one has done so...

the last one, finally just a few months ago.

 

[viperhauler]

however, they're fantastic on the v8 cars...

so it's not that sts has a poor rep... just with the v10's...

i've personally seen and driven and worked on several ls1 cars...

my buddy's makes 750+ rwhp on his t/a and another buddy's ss made 590/640 wheel with a bad injector... the other was around 550 through an auto... basically stock 02 ss... there's the gto's that love them, too...

this is what made me ask 2003 Dodge Ram SRT- 10 with STS remote mount turbo/intercooler - Alberta Cars For Sale - Kijiji Alberta Canada.

 

[viperhauler]

"Too many details to list, amazing mint condition truck, super fast, but the motor does need to be repaired. I am selling the truck for personal reasons, and very sad to let it go. Call for all the details."

i would question the 2003... if it's a v8, then it's probably not too bad of a deal, but if it's a 10, i'd stay away... unless you're looking for a project where you could sell the sts and rebuild the motor...

 

[68charger]

I'm not in the market, one is enough lol. just seen the add and haven't heard much about the sts system and thought it would be nice to discuss something other then selling my truck threads

 

[viperhauler]

oh...

well.... sts is bad for the trucks.

period. end of discussion

too further this discussion thats to bad it looks like nice kit,it must be a tuning issue, how is boost different from one turbo sys. to another

 

[viperhauler]

i do believe it was a boost issue...

something about the way the v10 fires was causing leanness that no tuning could get right...

 

[rottenronnie]

Any of the SRT-10s I was in had very inconsistent boost making it all but impossible to tune them for power AND still stay reliable. Marty from KRC in Florida did some R&D on them a few years back that looked promising but I don't think it panned out.
Like Dan said, they worked great on several of the V-8 cars and several are still alive today.

There was one on a 2003 Hemi 1500 around here that went like a bat. It sounded like a street-cleaner when it went down the track but it was still plenty fast..

 

[05srt10carson]

I had A am with the hemi in and put the STD on it was bad ass fun to drive sold and got a 10

Marty at KRC blew up FlyingLow's truck on the dyno after Roe Racing tuned it. Taliban Dan played with it some before then. Tony has it now putting it back stock.

Is there anybody on here or know of anyone using that STS turbo sys. on there truck? is it any good?:dontknow:

DAN SAYS YES!

 

[VENOMOUS1 RACING]

They are really a good kit, it would have to be the tuning that got away from them? All turbos, SCs, etc. do the same thing, produce boost. I can't see why the STS kit that has worked for many cars successfully could not be tuned to work on our trucks?

"Don't be afraid of the boost, be very afraid of your tune under boost!"

 

[chargerman426]

Guess rare03SRT10 really isn't all that rare .

 

[eddie102870]

Scott had a problem with his boost spiking if im not mistaken.

 

[rare03srt10]

Guess rare03SRT10 really isn't all that rare .

I was just stratchin my head thinkin the same hahaha

 

[JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE]

wasnt the spikes that killed this one, the ignorance in the building of the engine did it in,

 

[fastestbrickonearth]

DAN SAYS YES!

A little bit of silicone on that hole and your good to go. Sts stands for silicone that shit.

 

[yellowfever#154]

Did anyone try a good quality boost controller to prevent the boost spikes? I agree with Venomous, there really isnt a reason why these things wouldnt work. They just need the bugs worked out of the system.
