Gtm sc and racelogic question
 

Hey fellas I have a quick question for hose of you out there with forced induction. In about six weeks I will be getting a sage1 sc from gtm installed on my z. Sam also has a deal where you get the sc oil cooler and the racelogic traction control module installed. My question is is it worth the extra $ for the traction control or would that money be better spent on brake upgrades. Would love to hear from anyone who has expeience with the racelogic traction control system. Thanks!

That supercharger isnt going to do you any good unless you have traction. With that much power you can lose traction in first 4 gears if you wanted. But just a note. I do not have it on my car.

IMO...upgrade your brakes first after the SC. Test out the new thrust and see if you really need a traction control unit.

TCU is nice but if you are going one or the other i say breaks. Now with that said Ask Sam. He is an honest guy and will give you the truth. He is not just in this to make a sale. He will talk to you see what you are looking for out of your kit and let you nkow what to do. He is definatly not a guty to tell you to getsomething just so he gets a few extra dollars

Since your wife drives the car harder than you do She would be the one who would need the traction control. When i get my SC with the TC i will let you know how well it works with the 4.08 gears.

Still waiting for her call.

Bullitt should have a review of the unit soon, interested in some user insight. if it will work on almost 1000hp build, should have no problem taking care of 400-600whp.

There are a few cars that already have it one being a nismo Z and SCer I believe... Check out Sam's You tube page it has videos of that Z and you can hear traction control cut on :tup:

Cool thanks guys. Think Im gonna go with the traction control and add the brakes on later as I will be able to do that myself as opposed to putting in the traction control myself. Thanks

I would do the same. Wish sam had a deal with the racelogic when i bought my TT kit lol.

I noticed the RaceLogic unit was 2k+ from GTM. Does anyone know if this the installed price? I am curious because the unit is only $595 euro on the RaceLogic site which is approx ~ $810 usd. There seems to be very few places to buy it in the US.

well don't hold me to this. The unit you get from GTM has all the bells and whistels and when i was looking at race logic website the one you are refering to i think doesn't ave everything. I found there website to be a little confusing. None the less though I think sam has to make a wiring harness for you and all to make this work. I also believe the price includes the tuning part of it so you get as much from it as possible. I want to say no on thats the price installed because when i spoke to sam that was the price for me also and we both know he isn't installing it since I am on the other side of the country

Thanks Frank, I guess that makes sense. I have been interested in it, but I am also on the east coast. I plan on getting the GTM SC installed in the next 2 months at Hill's Garage. I'm not sure if the traction control is something they could install as well. I guess Sam would know.

they should be able to install the RaceLogic TC system. Sam has great instructions on all of their products and they document everything.

When people and shops get GTM installs wrong its because they didnt read the instructions...

lol you have nothing to worry about frank hill can install that. Good guy and a good mechanic. When i build my engine he is going to be the one doing it.
Tell them i said hi they will know me.
Frank

Agreed, but that is exactly what keeps us modding away!!!

Prescott where is Hill's Garage located? I'm in western New York and looking for a shop to do a GTM sc next summer and don't know where to get it done. I know from all the posts here that the shop needs to have access to a dyno to tune. Also don't all Z have a built in traction control? Also, when the computers are reprogrammed can the top speed limiter be changed or bypassed? Thanks for your help guys.

I would love to link to you there address but you are going to have to search that on your own. Part of the forum rules is that we can not advertise for a company that is not a forum sponsor. Fair rule to agree with. So you will have to search that on your own. Although I have been talking to them about becoming a forum sponsor. Good garage though. Thats all i will say about that since AK has been extremely lenient on letting some of us discus are experience about this shop even though there not here on the forum. Don't want to seem like I am taking advantage of him with out getting him drunk first =). Are car does have a type of traction control but nothing as well as the race logic system. Yes you can adjust your rev limiter assuming that is what your talking about. I wouldn't recommend it unless your building the motor though.

BTW Frank, I talked to GTM and you were correct about the RaceLogic. They have it set up so it's quite literally plug and play, power/ground, and basically pre-tuned. I think it will be added to my list for order in a few week or so.

Good deal, please give us a review on it since one has not been generated yet
Frank

pull the trigger on it Frank! what you waiting for?:hello:

I am broke sam took my whole paycheck last year lol

Sam is about to get mine as well. I might be eating ramen noodles for a while...

The GTM crack dealer is back at it again :bowrofl:

No **** man. Sam is a legal drug dealer. He has you feeling all good and everything when he gives you your fix lol

Sam are you shipping mine soon ?

No go away! :p

Call him?:ugh2:

I wish spring would show up.. I'm going through boost withdraws :eekdance:

:iagree::icon18:

I use to call once a week but now i have stopped. I have paid for everything in full in adavance and now I am waiting.
No problems just have to have wait . ( stage 2 SC. Uprev, traction control.)
cost of 370z in my Canada plus the costs of my mods = one nasty modified mustang or almost a 2010 corvette.
This will be my last Z. between my 4.2 TT 350z and my sc 370 i could have bought a 2012 GTR.
My favorite car is my 2003 350 z. Can not wait to get it back on the steet. But it will need a traction control as we are planning to run it a conservitive 750 rwhp.
Its only more money. May be he will give me a discount for buying two of them.

cooooooool
