building it myself???

[bangbangskeetskeet]

ok i want to go turbo...but im poor
i love the sts set up...again im poor
what if i just get the oiling system from them...or someone that has one...and get the rest of the piping and turbo along with the nessicary upgrades to the fuel system and injectors myself and then do a custom fab???
is that illegal cuz they have a patent and what not???
is it even possible to get just an oiling system from them???

i know dumb ass questions

[ducky]

your gonna spend more fabbing your own stuff up then buying a cheap STS kit.

[bangbangskeetskeet]

thats probally true.....but they dont make a twin set..
thats really what i want
and i was just thinking i can get s**t when ive got money...cuz when ive got it...its not there long...and over time instead of saving up and buying it all at once

Remember STS is a remote mount system. It would be cheaper and easier to fab a front mount system...I'm thinking. For a front mount, you wouldn't need the oil pump...just feed and return lines.

thats very true.
i dont know why but im feelin the remote mount more than a front mount....i guess i want people to look in the bay and be like oh its just a weird intake set up then get their f****n doors blew off

a twin sts kit i dont think would be a good idea...you can do a single front mount for under $3k easily

Well, I usually don't show people my set-up until after the damage is done...

Sticking with the title of the post, and given you are dead set on rear mount here are my thoughts on it. Yes they will sell just he oil pump assembly, but it is way over priced in my opinion. You should be able to get something to work for alot cheaper. Even if they have a patent it does not matter legally unless you try to copy their design and SELL kits. You will want to find a member on the board with an STS setup and find out the Turbo size, Hot and cold sides. After that just get started on setup, you can by a crude pipe bender at harbour freight and do somewhat smooth bends by capping the pipe, fill with soapy water and freeze, if you have a big stand up freazer. The one I have only goes to 2.5 inch pipe though I think.. Other option is to go down to an exhaust shop and have them bend your pipe, or just buy a bunch of bends from jegs and fab it that way. the other parts you can buy off ebay as you get the money. Fab will take a while if you dont work on it full time, so you should be able to pick up peices as you work on fab. I was kicking around buying an STS setup over a year ago and after talking to them on the phone I decided I would rather pick my eyes out with a pencil than deal with them again. So if I ever did a rear mount I would build it myself. Having said all of this if I ever go F/I it will be a single 80 mm front mount!

This is what I started a few years ago. I ended up not finishing it so I'm selling all the stuff. I know I coulda got it finished I'm just not in the position to right now. I spent about 1400-1600 and still had a lil ways to go. Bought a stock mid-pipe and had a flange welded on to that. I don't remember what pics are in this thread cause I can't see them from the work comp
