GTP091 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Is anyone working on turbo headers or manifolds right now? I've been looking at getting a t4 on my LQ1 for awhile now but was wondering if there's anybody developing a set. I know there's a few guys on here with custom setups. Likely I'll develop my own but would be nice if some collaboration was available if someone already started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 there is nearly 0 demand for them, so no. You are on your own. Ever consider STS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTP091 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Not sure what STS is. a manufacturer? I googled it and ststurbo.com came up. This company is kind of a joke. All they do is remote mount turbo kits. hack... Edited July 28, 2010 by GTP091 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhrarhG Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 IIRC, with the DOHC 3.4, you can run a second front manifold on the rear, flipped. It's not the best for flow, but it's definitely the easiest. From there, just fabricate a crossover and down-pipe. You're definitely on your own, unless one of the handful of people that have a turbo DOHC setup decide to sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from a hack! don't twist your nuts over it. Everything I've read so far about remote mounted turbos says they're cheap options with little pros and lots of cons, STS doesn't even talk about fuel management. I'd rather use a turbo system that didn't have to compensate for design deficiencies. Have you ever seen a factory turbo remotely mounted? hmm...

I know there's lots of fiero guys that have done custom manifolds on LQ1's but the piping is usually for a different routing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhrarhG Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 RedZMonte has a thread going on 60degreev6 about his turbo head build. Might want to check that out. http://60degreev6.com/forum/showthread.php/46030-Official-Turbo-Header-Thread.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTP091 Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Ya I've been watching his build for awhile now from stock manifolds to the tubes he's building now. But thanks for posting it. I was wondering if anyone was doing it on here. guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 No, STS does not deal with fueling themselves. They can sell you a tuner for many applications, but in your case you'll be on your own. Like you are going to be anyway..... What are the cons of the system? And please, dont say turbo lag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
