saw the beast today. very hard not to steal it and put it on mine! i shoulda jumped on it first

John

I don't think you are expecting too much, That is the way it should be and that is why we offer our GTM turn key so you can "set it and forget it " as you said .

-Our GTM Turn key solution whether TT or SC does not require a retune (maf tuning )

-Our engine management solution is done via flashing the factory ecu so basically you are getting the factory driveability just with a lot more power

Plus We are working on a good platform from the start, all those things will deliver what you are looking for and more ...All you have to do is just buy the GTM kit

Sam

Awesome. keep up the good work

Sam

Yes, It fits so good you can not even tell there is an intercooler behind the bumper ..

Sam

:icon17: cool thanks mate :tup: i thought it was cool this whole time then when i saw that on wiki i was like ":eek:" i felt like the *** end of a horse :icon14:

and that is looking flavorlicious :yum:

Will this kit work with the Nismo? The reason I ask is because of the Strut that is up front.

How far off is this kit from a "shadetree" mechanic install?

I mean, I'm not some whiz-bang mechanic, but, I might be able to DIY...I guess it depends on if the engine and transmission has to be dropped...(I'm sure it does, the more I think about it...)

Also, sorry if I missed it, what's the price (PM if by policy) - lastly, will the 7AT handle this?

:tup:

Sam

Motor and trans do not need to come out for the install. Every tech has different techniques, and tools that can make their own method quicker for installation on things like this, so you will see different ways of doing it from different shops. I do know first hand that the engine does not need to be removed for the installation on this, in fact my magic 8 ball tells me it was never even removed for the development of the TT kit.

So is the actual bumper plate still attached to the frame? Like if you got into small wreck would you still be able to drive it for a small distance or is it going to obliterate everything?

Sam, great job with the kit. I can't wait for the full write-up. Was the Z bone stock when you started the installation? And will there be a difference if you TT a modded Z?

^ A TT'd Z becomes modded when you install that TT on it

i believe he means, exhaust, hfc, pulley and so on

Well HFC will restrict flow, so will a N/A 2.5" exhaust, which will all be replaced by 3" piping for better flow and performance

Your N/A headers will also have to go for the Turbo header

Stilllen Gen 3 Intakes will obviously have to go.

Pulley? Not sure that would be safe on a TT setup but don't quote me though but even if it were, I'd say 5whp throughout the powerband?

I enjoyed our talk today SAM! Hopefully we can get the ball rolling and get some more installers here in the South East. I will talk to Scott and see if I can get them to Join the forum :tup: Keep up the great work and I hope to have your kit on a cover sooner than later ;)

Mike

now that is the ultimate sleeper

Same here, We look forward to it, It is going to be fun :D

Sam

The stage one kit says its good for up to 500HP, is that at the flywheel or rear wheel?

I dont think anyone besides the factory measures to the Flywheel. Im pretty sure all or a majority measure to the wheels.

All the HP rating on our website is based on the turbo capacity and what ever is listed it does pertain to the crank output not the wheel. Having said that all those numbers are very very conservative to say the least, For an example our GTM stage one turboo kit is rated @ 500 bhp but we have made 584 RWHP on an 08 350z HR .

Ditto Sam!! Please let me know where the workshop is in Australia that ordered the kit!
I too am very interested, once I can get the funds together!!!

Thanks!!

The shop's name is revzone and i think they are located in milburn Australia

Sam

We are right next door to you Mike. :tup:

Here is my Very First post to the forum. And this is a question that has not been asked about your twin turbo kit so far... i did search threw all the pages and didn't find this answer.

Sam, is it possible with the twin turbo kit to be able to have 2 different size turbo's? One for the quick spool and low-mid range power and a larger turbo for mid-high range power?

Kinda like a gt28 and a gt35r set-up??

i'm not a noob with turbo's, i've met you a few times with 2c. I also used to have a boosted s2000, but unfortunately it was totaled in a horrible accident and i am going to be salvaging all my parts to buy a 370z within the next month or 2. and the first order of business i'll be having with you is to install this kit.

But for the time being, i'm curious what the options are, if it is possible 2 different size turbo's are available, if not. what stage would you consider to be if i requested Twin Gt30's

Thank you

- Chris

Thanks for that Sam.

They dont have much of a Website basically just a front end, with contact details. Off the top of my head they are know for Honda work but i'm sure a search through our local forums would reveal more about them.

Chris,

Just so you know a Twin turbo kit like the one GTM is offering needs equal sized turbos. Here is one of the many reasons why: Each turbo powers one side of the block i.e. turbo A runs off the right bank of engine exhaust gases and Turbo B runs off the left bank of exhaust gases. Having a staggered setup like you suggested would end up with one side of the engine fully exhausted while the other side would not be fully utilized. So in Lamens terms turbo A would be at full boost while Turbo B would not causing the right bank of the engine and turbo parts to receive much more wear and tear than the left. Not to mention that this would negatively affect any power you make as well as be a complete B*tch to tune!

Like I said there are TONS of reasons why this would not be a good idea... And many on here could correct me and elaborate further on the subject.

As far as your GT30 question goes I would say a stage 3 or 4 should do the trick! but remember you have to be able to feed this puppy too! so their stage 4 or 5 fuel system would probably be your best bet!:tup: Good Luck

I wouldn't totally agree on that, as the intake manifold (plenum) does not have any sort of separation and basically boost coming from both throttle bodies mixes in there

how would you have two seperate MAFs and TBs but the intake manifold plenum is not seperate?

Yes, but there is no seperation in the plenum in order to equalize air flow entering both banks in order not to hurt the engine

If I understand what you are asking, I think the reason is quite simple. Air is coming from two different locations through two ITB's and into a common plenum. In order for the ECU to know precisely how much air is flowing into the plenum and into the combustion chambers, the airflow needs to be measured through the two points of entry via two MAF sensors.

then what is the point of twin TBs and MAF's? Wouldn't they just do like a vette motor and just go big single?

Maybe this design allows for a greater plenum volume?

Good question huh??? hahah it would have been an interesting project if it were possible. To have the perfect power-band..making power all over the place. thank you for the responses guys. I am doing this research the right way to do this project right way the first time.

-Chris

Would you rather have one big single turbo or two small twins? ;)

I'm guessing twin TBs and MAFs allow for better air flow and response

At what rpm do the turbos kick in? And would I be able to program them to kick in at rpm's that I desire? For example one at 2k rpm and the other at 4k rpm. I'm looking for power thru the entire power band.
Pardon me if the questions are dumb.

you wouldnt want that. You would want them to kick in ASAP and achieve full boost asap. You ever hear people complain/make excuses (lol) about turbo lag? thats why.

Lag is a problem of the past......the newest turbochargers are ridiculously efficient, especially with the VQ engine. I would expect to be at full boost under 3500rpm's

lol doesnt mean people still dont make it an excuse.

what i'm really curious about is whats the limit on these motors. I'd like a safe 400 low boost setting and possible a mid 500hp high boost setting. Safely on a stock block.


Has it been discussed about lowering the compressions on these motors to 9:1???
