First post, heh...
Ive installed a few FI kits on non FI cars, and none of them have been without issue. At some point, something in the directions seems backwards, or some parts may be missing, or some may not fit, in that regard the kit was no different. This kit had a good set of directions, the color pics helped a ton. The overall kit is nice, the S/C bracket is beautifully CNC'd, most of the parts and even the hardware is labeled, I was honestly impressed. If only GTM made motors this good (Hi Sam) Went out for a ride yesterday, and the experience the car gives you being a drop top is just awesome. It brings a new level of involvement to the car, especially with that S/C making noise all time. It sounds like a plane on a runway getting the turbines up to speed, pretty bada$$. Looking at Osiris, the A/F was right on cruising, but pegged at 10.25:1 under all WOT, then the manual states the car is running 1pt richer. If that is true that is much too rich, but that car wouldn't have pulled how it did with its A/F in the 9's or even that low in the 10's, I don trust factory gauges for something like this. Kirks wideband install after ZdayZ or a dyno will confirm the nature of the A/F, there certainly was no detonation or hiccups in that tune. Its truly amazing that GTM can offer a kit with a quick flash tune, that will allow you to take it out, and enjoy the car, it truly is awesome. Gone are the days of installing a FI kit and IMMEDIATELY having to go to a tuner because the car barely turns on, let alone run. That's not to say most shouldn't have these tunes checked, but that is for another thread. Well done GTM. This is now the 2nd time I have been impressed by one of your kits, the other my friends Stage 2 TT G37. Kirk, have fun brother, wish I could join you at ZdayZ but you know how that goes..... |

With the issues we had on the tight tolerances on the brackets it was somewhere around 25 wrenching hours. Glad that it is done and running...

Dude. Great job. It's the best feeling in the world to start her up after doing a lot of hard labor yourself.

Especially seeing the supercharger suck up the rotex traction fluid and heating up the supercharger oil cooler, I was worried about that part more than anything as it is a PITA to get to those lines...
