anyone have a hybrid? would it cause more lag? what company will do hybrid turbos and how much would i be looking at with/without a core? anyone here have a T-25 they could sell? so far i have about everything to turbo my CS except the turbo itself... thanks,
joshua
Im not Sure but I think Jeff makes a Chip that can use the t28 Turbo.
Im Still Trying to get him to build me a Pipe with a T3 Flange on it because when my Motor gets Built Im going to be Running a T3/4 Hybrid
Bore .040 over
29-32# injectors
a 1500-6500 Cam {GM}
Port Polish intake upper and lower
Jeffs Special Heads.
and some other things that Jeff will not Disclose.
T3/4 Hybrid Turbo
3" Exhaust to Dual Flowmaster 40 or 50 series
Im still saving for the Build up. but I think all the $$$ I have saved sofar is going to go twards the Purchase of my Second STE TURBO.
then I'll have one to Drive while one gets RAPED
thanks for the reply. i am just planning on a regular TGP setup at 1st. so far the only TGP part i actually have is the TGP exhaust manifolds. the intercooler, radiator, cooling fans & rad/ic mounting hardware, crossover, and computer are all paid for and on the way here. so now it's just the turbo, downpipe, turbo->IC & IC->TB plumbing, and a bunch of small stuff like oil/coolant lines, 2-bar MAP, etc. i'm planning on at least 10lbs, bigger injectors, alcohol injection, grainger valve for boost control (??), DSM GEN-1 BOV, Jeff M crossover (mine will be a core), Jeff M chip, 3" exhaust with a hi-flow cat (or no cat), no EGR, and of course a rebuilt engine and i will possibly be running lower comp forged pistons so i can crank the boost up some more. also a hardened 3100 crankshaft, HV oil pump, Walbro fuel pump, boost and A/F gauges, and high quality piston rings and bearings of course. and i gotta figure out a way to support the turbo since i am using a Getrag 5-speed. this will be going thru my Getrag 282 with a better clutch than i have now. i hope to get into the 13's!!! my dream car is an STE turbo. there is one here in Laramie and i see it every day....oh man...i love that car! there is also a non-running turbo STE in Gillette, WY and i asked the guy if he would sell it once but he wouldn't even though it had a knocked out back window, bad turbo, bad paint, expired tags etc. i might try again later. heck i might even offer to trade my 5-speed CS! i can't afford to buy a different car right now so i'm pretty much turning my CS into a 'CS STE turbo 5-speed'. i got the 5-speed conversion done 2 months ago and it is great. now comes the turbo part...if i can beat my brother's '87 Shelby Lancer (#127 of 800 made) intercooled/turbo 2.2 5-speed than i'll be happy :)

Joshua,
STE turbos rock!!! The best so far completly stock @ 5200 Ft elevation was a 16.6. Since then I've installed a high flow cat, "turbo mufflers, wrapped my IC tubes and am waiting on a chip. Have also fine tuned it a little more, I Think I'll be deep into the 15's next time.
I have two children 2 & 3 years old who like riding in the back. I love it when the "ricers" pull up with their loud exhaust or their STUPID LOUD MUSIC. If the kids are not with me I usually get some good "kills", nobody expects anythng with the two baby seats in the back with the baby sun shades in the windows.
Anyways go to ww.forcedperformance.net and look at the big 28 package. If I was going to keep my STE on the road I'd switch to that one for sure. Go tothe DSM sites and look up the T-25, there will be several options there for performance.
What color is the STE in Gillette? I am in Colorado Springs, I just want a leather interior & some minor trim items like the inner reflectors.
Good luck
Thomas
cool thanks for the reply...i'll have to check those places out. the turbo STE in Laramie is white and so is the one in Gillette. i have never seen a TGP coupe.

Man I love STE's too thats why IM working to get my Second one.
My Current one was neglected so this is the one Im going to Rape
The second one is on its second owner and is in Good condition and not neglected.
also
I am still looking for the lowest Vin in an STE turbo I seam to have the lowest one thus Far...hmm?? make me think...
Next time you see that STE turbo get the Vin so compare.
My Vin is 1G5WT54V8LF2714xx
the xx is to hide the last Two numbers. not that it matters....
even the Press Kit I have with a Window sticker has the Vin at 29xxxx
Im wondering if I have one of the First's??
i will try to get the VINs. it might require sneaking up on it with a flashlight i dunno...what would be the easiest way? anyway i could find the VIN thru the plate #? if i just went up and asked he would probably think i was a nut :P
joshua
Just tell him its for Research perposes.
or you can just wait for him to go in a store Run up and get the number then....Thats what I do...or I just mention the car and what it is and they are more then willing to give up that information.
