Supercharger kit, JDM spec 370Z

Pabust

Hello,
hello all, i'm new on this forum, i'll appreciate some guidance on this, i contacted Stillen for it's s/c kit, but they never confirmed neither if it works for our car or not (JDM, non-US spec), nor they told me if their kit works flawlessly (seems that it doesn't ) and after looking some topics referring to forced induction in this forum it seems that Stillen isn't the better alternative anyways, my question is, anybody knows who can sell a complete supercharger kit that will work for a non-US 370Z, and with an automatic transmission?

Thanks

I would send a PM to Sam@GTM or give GTM a call directly and talk to them.
I am not 100% sure if it will work or not, but Sam might have some ideas.

^That's the best advice you'll get.

I'll go out on a limb and say the GTM kit will fit w/ the exception of the power steering hose. This will most likely need to be different on the RHD model. I've never worked on one personally so i'm not positive what the power steering looks like. I'm sure they can come up with a solution for that though if needed.

lot of people here in Middle East are using the GTM and Stillen kits on non US spec cars without any issue.

Thanks for the answers, the car is JDM spec'd because it comes from Japan directly, it's left hand drive just like in the U.S.
Anybody knows where the ECU is located in this car so i can check the manufacturers code?

SAM@GTM

The Tuning part of the whole process is relatively straight forward, We just supplied a kit to Singapore and were able to give a him a tune no problem, We did not have the rom for the his jdm ecu from the get go but it was really straight forward getting over that hurdle.

So in order for this to happen does the kit need to be the tuner version or the turnkey version?

For Sam to provide you with a tune it must be the turn key kit. The turn key kit is the same thing as the tuner one except the turnkey comes with the fuel pump, larger injectors, and a tune from GTM aka Sam.

Now to the OP, with either kit GTM SC or TT you can't go wrong. Like others said you have more growth protential with the TT kit. Now keep in mind yes the price for the SC is a little less then the TT kit but the cost of installation is higher for the TT kit. Something for you to factor in so there are no suprises. Also with the TT kit you have to factor in some supporting mods such as possibly high flow cats or test pipes, a better exhaust system, and a boost controller. Now some others will till you that this stuff is not required but I highly recomend it and I treated it as a requirement. I did not mention the oil cooler because I think that is a requirement fr both kits. Also to add the installation time on the SC kit is a lot less then the installation time on the TT kit. Look at your options and set a goal. Don't just look at today but think of the future as to what you would like to do with the car. I say if you can be contampt and happy with staying around 450 hp then go with the SC. But if you think in a few years or somewhere else down the line you will want more then go with the TT. You will find that both will do the job well but which kit you get rests on your goals and what you desire in hp/tq. I hope this helps

That's interesting

theDreamer

I would guess no as they probably are not able to get a warranty from Stillen nor do they have to worry about CARB which are the two main reasons to use the Stillen tune.

Sorry for not clearing the whole thing man...ma bad

We have a local G, Z and GTR club and lots of people have bought GTM TT, Greedy's TT, APS etc kits and some have Stillen SCs as well but I was saying as a general rule for all cars (G35, G37 and 350Z) as there are US specs and GCC(gulf) specs. My point was no one find any issue with the tune as everyone is using different options and majority of options work regardless of which specs are those car US and JDM.

For the current SC kits, I still haven't seen anyone either with GTM or Stillen SC here, as frankly havent seen any 370z which is modded so far, but there are few G37 are there with GTM TT kits.

For me I am planning for GTM SC kit and if that goes through will update you
