Have a look at this post http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum9/HTML/003029.html Do a search on Utube Online video installs of the STS Turbo system Enjoy... Speed Channel commercial Two Guys Garage Trucks Universe
Squires Turbo Systems, Inc. Phone: 801.224.3477
# 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. # 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. # 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. There looking for cars to do an install Got this email from STS Don, Thank you for contacting Squires Turbo Systems, the world leader in remote-mount turbo technology. We offer a turbo solution for ANY vehicle. Our patented systems offer you more horsepower per pound of boost than anyone in the industry! One of our experienced and knowledgeable Regional Sales Managers will be contacting you to answer any questions you may have. If you would like to speak to someone sooner, please do not respond to this email. Instead, please feel free to call our Sales Department directly at 866-938-8726 (866-WE-TURBO), and they will be more than happy to assist you. Remote mount turbo systems have been recognized around the world as the most innovative technology available for dramatically increasing the horsepower of any vehicle. This patented technology was recognized with the GM Design Award for "Best High Performance Product" and is also now being taught in many accredited automotive technology schools around the country. The installation of our turbo systems is similar to the installation of a cat-back exhaust system. The turbo system components hang where the factory exhaust system normally hangs, and even utilizes the same factory mounting points. The photo below shows twin turbos hanging in the rear of a corvette in place of the factory exhaust system - it's that easy. We offer a good selection of complete bolt-on systems that are designed for specific vehicle makes and models. These systems come with everything you need to install the system on your vehicle. However, if we do not offer a true "bolt-on" system for your specific vehicle application, we do offer an easily customizable Universal Kit. Our Universal Kit applications experience the same amazing benefits and horsepower improvement results as our bolt-on systems. The Universal Kit also supplies you with all needed turbo components, but then you simply fabricate the tubing that runs to and from the turbo components. The graphic below shows one of our bolt-on Corvette Twin Turbo systems and illustrates how it is located in the rear of the car where the factory exhaust once hung. It also points out many of the benefits and advantages of our patented remote-mount turbo systems, all of which also still apply to our Universal Kit installations.
The best power and torque curves in the industry - power comes up quicker! More horsepower per pound of boost means that your engine does not have to work as hard to get the same power output -- your engine will appreciate you for that! No increased underhood temperatures, as with front-mount turbos, that can fry critical electrical components under the hood. No Supercharger belts that can shear and cause damage to the hood itself and many other belts and components under the hood. Leaves more room under the hood for regular engine maintenance. No need for expensive headers or other engine modifications. No parasitic losses, as with Supercharger options that are directly driven by the motor and pull power from the motor. Increased fuel economy of 10% to 20%, depending on your vehicle. Cleaner emissions, compared to the stock vehicle, of up to 75%. Complete bolt-on systems that assemble similar to a cat-back exhaust. ...and the famous STS turbo sound ---- Suuuweeeeeeet! As I mentioned above, one of our experienced and knowledgeable Regional Sales Managers will be contacting you soon to answer your questions.

I wouldn't do the used supercharger thing nor the headers. I would do the gears, then if you go with a 4.3 stroker that would be a bit more dependable then get the headers. I've checked out the ported and polished lower intake manifold and throttle body which would be around $700 for about 20 hp and about the same in torque. Add headers then (about $1500) and you may get another 8 hp and the same in torque. S you are then at $2100+ for at best 25 horse and torque gains. A stroker for about $3000k or so more ($5k total or so) I would hope would do close to 100 HP gain and a boat load more of torque. Just thinking out loud here....

dbudner: Were can I get that stroker kit for $3,000 and what does it include.. I have a extra 3.5 Prowler Engine with a Super Charger that needs 2 pistons now. My plan was just going to do the 6 piston swap with a blower style power forged piston to handle the load of a 175hp shot of NOS with the Super Charger using the 8 lb pulley for boost... Thanks for your input on the stroker kit dbudner, as I was going to make this a winter project.. John(onecatnodog)Collins |

Try prowler pro or G-force for the gears (they re vendors here) Here's where I'm getting a partial 4.0 kit price from so it will take a phone call to validate. Fact is someone has all of the vids out of an engine replacement if you have the stomach for it. The easier stuff I had already been checking into and you figure 3k, what's another 3 k to get a whole lot more than 20-25 hp. Not sure what westech charges for one installed but at least you have a pretty decent set of options and prices to sort of work from now. QUOTE BELOW If you're looking into a 4.0 build check these guys out: http://www.inertiamotorsports.com/ I've talked to them already about my Prowler & got some Price Estimates for a fully built 4.0L Block with Heads & Cams (~$4k-$7k with no core returns, less with core exchange). Also these guys offer ported intake manifolds for the 3.5L: http://aecarbon.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=125 Next time you come down the bay shoot me a PM, we can hang out...I'm in IT Field also.

First do gears and headers...you need to install new gears any how before you install the SS. You will be surprised how fast the car is with both mods. The Paxton SS is a poor design because you have to relocate a bunch of components under the hood and it uses the engines oil. If the housing for the SS cracks and leaks oil; it will suck your engine dry too! Then you'll have a blown motor and a bad SS. The Procharger is a better design hands down (uses it's own oil). Not sure if they are making a conversion kit for the Prowler. Talk to Laddie I think he had a Paxton and removed it and now has a Procharger. Get the gears from Dean at ProwlerPRO and see if that is fast enough... then go from there with headers, turbo, or SS. This message has been edited by spoons on 06-16-2009 at 11:07 AM |

If you think you may want a stroker engine, save the $2000 from gears and apply that to copst of 4.3 stroker. My Westech 4.3 litre engine actually gave me better times at the drag strip with the stock gears back in - less spin off the line on street tires. If you are not going to boost it with SC, Turbo or nitrous, gears and headers will help a bit. With 4.3 stroker I beat every (4) supercharged Prowler I ran against at the track over a two and half years period. I'm sure the 5.0 would perform even better. |

no change to the computer. But, in order to put down all that torque you will still most likely need to upgrade the stock gears. That is why I suggestion gears + headers and then SS, Turbos, Stroker, NOS and etc. Marty, What are your 1/4 mile times? |

Would love to hear where Westech is on their SC engine. I know they've been working on it for a while, like maybe a year so I know they must be doing some serious diligence. |

Plymouth Prowler T3T4 Turbo Charger Kit. I found this Turbo Charger kit for the Plymouth Prowler on ebay. There is 4 listings, 2 of each. One is $1099 and the other is $983, but there is best offers for both. Anyone know the differences and if you think it would be any good?.
