Overall the kit has been great, install was a breeze for Baker Tuning, the system sounds great, and no issues. Not really sure what people want me to report on, it just works exactly as it is suppose and as GTM said it would. I decided to throw my own wrench in with the long tube headers as the original design for the GTM kit was not build around them. So we are having fun and working directly with Sam to help give feedback on them so he can provide better support for those who wish to have LTH and his SC kit.

Overall I could not be happier with this kit.

is the tune too rich or too lean? How far off the 8 psi are you with LTHs? And did gthey tune it for the 8 psi or did you go for a lower psi?

The only people that have it are people who installed it at GTM. If I remember correctly, Z Eliminator/dannygt ordered the first ones? They still don't have it.

Dreamer ever dynoed?

Mine was installed in Houston at Baker Tuning, not GTM. Is there something wrong with no one having a kit yet?
Do I need to get pictures for you?
We have been on the dyno, and are working with Sam to check everything since this is a unique build that is different.

We are running the 8PSI pulley which was designed for stock headers and cats, the tuning is a back and forth right now to see what can be done with the headers. How far can we tune it with the headers and a stage 1 kit.

Edit: I know everyone is waiting on results for everyone who ordered and on my setup with how it pairs with the long tube headers, but it is a process which takes time and we do not want to push it faster than it needs to be.

^ Are you able to hit the advertised 8psi with the long tubes?

Not currently, but never really planned to with a stage 1 SC setup.

Zsteve · 08-20-2010, 09:15 PM

and even if they did have a prob with something atleast they seemed to have waited to sell the kits keeping people from being able todrive thier cars. So a delay is better than having it on and then cant drive it but like was said its still a little early to see yet. Need to have some more kits installed.

I also remember several months ago a member was getting flamed cuz he was downing the Stillen kits from before and was stating what went wrong with them and I think the same thing is happening now with the new kit. So past history seems to matter some. I think all in all both kits will get things figured out and will be good kits.

If anything, Dreamer is testing the waters for others looking to go GTM SC+LTH's. This is going to be valuble information brother. See what is important here guys is to stay on the same page, with a common goal of making the Z more powerful. Lets not get lost in the politics of company vs company. This should be a friendly game not a childish one. My GTM stage 2 twin turbo kit has been installed for a month and a half yet I have not done a review at all. Which reminds me RCZ I still owe you a review, hahaha. Hope to get that soon I have been just so busy with work and a new baby coming soon. Anywho I think that SC is a great option at this point no matter who you go with. The added power is what it is all about, the Z is a blasty blast once you go boosted.

I would post a reveiw but i do not have mine yet!
Sam told me that it would be shipped out a week ago friday.
he still had to work out the lines for my oil cooler.
Im getting very impatient about the long wait.
winter is coming soon and i want to rn the 1/4 mile with the SC.
The Ontario Z drag day is Sept 18 and it does not look like it will be on my car,

is your oil cooler different than the one they had or did they not have one with the kit?

NYBladeZ · 08-21-2010, 01:45 PM

I have the LTH's and I'm very interested in Dreamer's results. I'm happy to hear that it is running well but I have to state that it is concerning that we haven't heard any figures or dynos to date especially if it's been about 3 weeks since the install. It leads me to believe that he is much farther away from 8psi and dare I guess less than 6psi. Of course I know we have to be patient so we will. Good luck Dreamer, guys like me are highly anticipating what results your setup yields...

Bluemeanie · 08-22-2010, 10:02 AM

I have a new never installed Rotrex SC for sale if anyone is interested. $1000.
PM me if interested. My car got totaled at the track just before we were going to install it.

in for updates

Z eliminator · 08-27-2010, 08:09 AM

The oil cooler set up has 5 lines in it as the cooler goes on the drivers side below the SC oil cooler. Sam has the set up for a G 37 but the 370z set up is slightly different and the lines and brakets have to be custom made as mine is the first 370, 7 AT.
It will have the SC oil cooler, the tranny cooler, a power stering oil cooler, and an oil cooler for the engine + the Sc interecooler. I got the race oil cooler for the 370.
Sam explained to me that you have to very care full where you mount every thing as the 370 Z front bumper has less openings in it than the G 37. He will have to take his 370z demo car apart to measure every thing up so that its fits pefectly on customers cars. He is working on it this week. I wanted a stage 2 but he does not have one in stock for me. He is not sure when he will have one. Im going to wait till he gets one. The possibilty of not having a SC car for a long time. Sam has never let me down so he will get it to me and it will fit perfectly and run well. The 11 secound 1/4 mile will just have to wait.

Quick question... how did you prepare the car prior to ordering the SC. did you have CBE or LTH or anything?

DannyGT · 08-27-2010, 09:30 AM

Mine just arrived today, YUMMMM...

I'll be doing a video unboxing for all you to drool at tomorrow afternoon.

I will have a small window of time inbetween work and the premiere party for Mafia 2 that we are sponsored at in NYC.

If I cant pull it off, then 100% by Sunday night.

Z eliminator · 08-27-2010, 10:15 AM

I will send you pictures of my stage 2 going down the track. Some day in the future !!!!
Good to see that you got it. Good luck with the install.
Can not wait to see how many LB's of boost you make and the dyno of your car.
