Can you or any of the SC owners possibly post some youtube vids of what this thing sounds like? All the vids I've listened to sound as if there is no supercharge whine present

From the GTM video, the SC can be heard. Unfortunately it is nothing like the Eaton roots type units on previous Z SC kits out there. I kinda like the fact that it is more quiet to prevent some unwanted attention by those folks that are looking to mess with us (both ricers and police).

Are there any Stage 2 kits out there installed? That is the one that I am really looking forward to seeing/purchasing. I would also like to hear some info on the LTH compatibility "issue", as I will be obtaining my headers in the very near future and want to know what my timeline/budget will entail..............

Do you know what's causing the delay?

Probably ran into a issue. You kind of have to expect it when doing something like this

Well there has been no official launch date of the stage II kit actually.

Really? These were posted up 5 months ago:

YouTube - GTM 370Z SUPERCHARGER 550BHP/400 FT OF TORQUE 460 RWHP 360 RWTQ.THE MASTERPIECE

YouTube - GTM 370Z SUPERCHARGER STG1 8PSI 550BHP/400 FT OF TORQUE 460 RWHP 360 RWTQ. TEST DRIVE

That's all I (and I presume Z eliminator) want.

By the way, if anyone knows of a thread with this build, I'd love to see it.

That is the stage I kit, he was asking about the stage II kit.
The stage I is on sale right now, I have it, DannyGT has it, a few G37 guys have it installed.

so did it turn on ?

DannyGT · 10-25-2010, 10:49 AM

WHEWWWW, OK UPDATE! She's alive!!!!

Sorry folks! No major issues just tired as all hell. 18 hours straight (slow working and making sure everything is torqued correctly, etc.) and 2 hours sleep!

The little issues...

(1) I stripped the thread off one of the adapter plates which caused a huge delay and run around time trying to get the right stuff to re-thread. –Resolved

(2) I relocated the MAFs a bit more down the pipe so that when I tapped in for the water/meth it wouldn’t spray to close to it. -Resolved (I’m no pro so the welds aren’t the prettiest, LOL)

(3) Overall there are some things that are different in the instructions since it was for the G37. Power steering, mounting points for FMIC/Oil cooler, but most of it was common sense. I am no mechanic so for me to have figured it out, others should be able to as well. However, a revised 370Z specific manual would be great!

(4) Two incorrect fittings...This was the only real let down. More so because of it affecting the launch window than anything else. The two AN fitting that attach to the Setrab oil cooler (for the SC) were -8AN rather than -6AN.

To band-aid #4 - I simply bypassed the oil cooler for the sake of making sure she would turn over. I would like to point out that while it is frustrating, I can see how something like that could have been mistaken when putting the parts together and labeling them all. Not a big deal...but being 5 min away from firing her up, it was like "OMG WTF, NOOOO!!!!!!!!!”

So its about 6pm last night and we're dead tired after a hell of an exciting weekend. Fluids topped off, car still on jack stands, and SC rotrex-specific oil primed and ready to go...I fire up the laptop, and upload the supercharger map. Car is in the ON position and everything sounded and checked out OK. No codes, nothing...just nervousness.

3,2,1...a quick stuttery start and it instantly fires up and smooths out! Left the car idleing for about 5-10 minutes and it was just perfect! It was then that I let out the biggest sigh of relief! AHHHHHHH

Anyway - I have more to say but I'll make a quick video and pictures of it all. I just needed to sleep badly.

stay tuned...
