Speed Mafia

Not at this time the shop that was doing all of the install let me know the customer picked it up earl and it was not 100% ready from my understand so at this point the customer was going to get it tuned elsewhere. Sorry i cannot provide any more information. If i do get images or any updates on the build i will let you all know. Thanks

One of those superchargers that looks like a turbo but runs off the belt for power would be similar. It won't make the same kind of HP a normal turbo would but with our tranny being the weak link it would be an idea.

If you’re speaking of a ProCharger or vortech or paxton yes they are centrifugal superchargers and nothing like a roots type blower. Centriguals are great at making power and there is allot of controversy between turbo and centrifugal.... for example I know a guy that had the world’s fastest ford and was out performing turbo cars with a ProCharger setup? He was a turbo guy till he found the added benefits of the centrifugal supercharger...but again to stay on topic this is a turbo build.

Supposed BENEFITS of a REAR mounted TURBO! I could see some of these benefiting but maybe not on all of them?

 

 

• Lower underhood temperatures. No need to worry about melting wires, hoses, or other engine components, as with a front-mounted turbo.
  
• Ease of installation. STS turbo systems can be installed in about 8 hours with standard tools and average mechanical ability.
  
• Cooler oil to the turbo. Cool oil is better for both the turbo and engine.
  
• Performance Sound. The turbo acts as a muffler and sounds like an aftermarket performance muffler. Turbo spool and rushing air from the blow-off valve make a unique sound that will turn heads!
  
• No need for major modifications to your vehicle. STS systems are designed to "bolt-on" to factory mounts.
  
• Increased gas mileage. Unlike a belt driven supercharger, the turbo utilizes "wasted" energy leaving your tailpipe. Most of our customers get 1-3 mpg increase in gas mileage compared to their original stock mpg numbers.
  
• Converts back to stock in about an hour.
  
• More room under the hood. Future repair work or modifications will not require the expense of removing the turbo system to allow access to engine components.
  

• Lowest Intake Air Temps. Low IAT's equate to more horsepower per pound of boost than any other forced induction option. STS intake piping provides built-in intercooling. Add the optional intercooler, and IAT's drop even further.
  
• Approximately 500F lower turbo temperatures. Eliminates the need for a turbo-timer, which allows the engine to run after the car is shut off in order to cool down the turbo and prevent oil and bearing damage.
  
• Denser exhaust gasses drive the turbo turbine wheel more efficiently.
  
• Turbo is exposed to ambient air rather than underhood air. Allows for better cooling of turbo components.
  
• No need for expensive headers, mufflers, or exhaust systems.
  
• Turbo is closer to the tail pipe outlet. Provides a better pressure differential across the turbine wheel which promotes better flow across turbine.
  
• Better weight transfer. Increases traction because the bulk of system is mounted in rear of vehicle rather than up front.
  
• Less noise and heat in the passenger compartment.
  

all the information above is correct. With the turbo being remote mounted there is several benefits and with the proper turbo sizing and configuration there is no lag or efficientcly levels stay the same. So on avarage we see approx a 50% increase in hp and tq. so if a vehicle is making say 190hp to the ground we will see a 95hp gain on conversvitive psi (5-6psi) and TQ.

The days of a standard turbo setup with it up front are long gone. with these kits they perform just like a standard setup.

As for oil we are plumbing off the stock oil filter location into the turbo then back into the motor.

i hope to have before and after dyno numbers :o)

Here is the start of this of this turbo build...

Kit from STS:

The beginning of the build:

Still need to wire it up and add the oil lines and pump...etc

We will be using the diablo tuner to add for additional fuel and timing needs.

:o

Thanks

I'd like to see it, but I refuse to click on something that says "Hellz Yeah..."

Modified. :yup:

Hey guys,

i wanted to see if anyone would be interested in seeing a turbo build for a 2008 Ford Edge 3.5L?
