STS turbo
Hi, I'm Alex, new to this forum. I just spent like an hour doing research on the STS turbo and I am basically sold on it. If any body has one installed on their Hemi I would love to hear about it. I have an 04 QC hemi sport. The only mods are AIRAID intake, Magnaflow exhaust and a hypertach power programmer. It's a big purchase so I would love to get as much info a possible before I go ahead and get it. THANK YOU!!!

RE: STS turbo
I don't get it, why would tuning it be hard?? there is not a lot of boost so as long as you have eonough fuel/ fuel pressure and a strong enough spark, there should not be a problem. I figure taking the hypertech program out and leaving it stock would be the only thing necessary. I had a 95' mustang. I installed a supercharger that put out 11 pounds of boost and all I had to do was put in another fuel pump, bigger injectors and an MSD ignition with boost retard. That along with the headers and exhaust that I already had and oh yeah, I had the mass airflow sensor calibrated to the injectors. months later I had brought the car to Steeda in Florida because I was in the area and they dyno'd it at 382 HP. they told me that I had done everything right for what I had. They couldn't tune it to get anymore power.

RE: STS turbo
There is now a tuning solution for the Hemi so shoot me an email at jxv254@yahoo.com
I also have a kit for sale if anyone is interested. I got 413rwhp at 7 lbs of boost on a second gear pull.

SRT10KLLR sells the tuning kits for the Hemi and he has some used sts kits for sale much cheaper than new.
I have the sts setup and made 429rwhp at 7.5lbs of boost. I now run 8.5-9lbs.
Tuning an older stang and tuning one of these chrysler pcm trucks is 2 different animals.
I am an sts dealer, so if you are looking for new, contact me. But I'd jump on one of srt10kllr's kits while he still has em.

RE: STS turbo
Tuning is easy if you understand exactly what you're doing. We have some base tunes that you can pick from that will help get the ball rolling. A scanner that monitors fuel trims will get you tuned a whole lot quicker.
I have a 6000# 4x4 QC with 92# aftermarket wheels. This is a video with only 6psi of boost using the base T60-1 turbo punching it from a dead stop at idle. I upgraded to the GT67 turbo about a month ago. But this video matched with the mods in my signature is the base turbo setup. Again, 6000# truck at only 6psi. Notice it shifts into 2nd, back to 1st, and back to 2nd gear and still hits 60 pretty easily/quick.
