I was speaking specifically to the throttle response issues of the 370z not any specific turbo kits turbo lag.

I've had an EVO X MR so I know what turbo lag feels like and this feels like the car is ignoring driver input. Literally like a mule saying that it won't go further. LOL!

As far as a turbo kit I'd recommend and have heard recommended, that'd be go with the Greddy. Reliable parts and reliable parts delivery.

No noticeable lag is exactly what the doctor ordered........

Question....if this is what you recommend....then why is it that 90% of the TT'd 370's on this forum are on GTM kits? In fact nearly all the TT'd 370's I have ever seen are GTM. Also, the GTM TT kit seems to put down the best numbers.

Which supercar would you recommend.....since you dont own one of those either????

So, what's your opinion on JB turbos vs BB turbos young Jedi?

JB turbos can be repaired and BB turbos have to have the center section replaced.

biggersNISMO · 07-26-2011, 08:26 AM

^^^ I wanna see what KusoSama comes up with...

LafitteZ · 07-26-2011, 09:57 AM

as for the slow response in the 370z. I put a lightwheight clutch and flywheel and that made a huge difference in the throttle response area. Most people are going gtm because its about 2 to 3 grand cheaper yet still a very good kit. Greddy has only one stage which means the huge turbos will spool much slower and if your not building your motor for big power then youve just installed a laggy a$$ setup for nothing. Smaller turbos less lag. They say greddys fitment to the z is much better but its not worth me paying 8500 for a greddy tuner kit or 8000 for gtm ready to go kit. All in all Supercharger or turbo youll be happy with either man. Iv had both and I smiled everytime I got in them.

Price isn't 8500. And were did you hear this nonsense ?

LafitteZ · 07-26-2011, 03:27 PM

which part?

LafitteZ · 07-26-2011, 03:30 PM

is the turbos on the greddy not larger than lets say a stage one gtm?

roplusbee · 07-26-2011, 03:53 PM

20Gs were large for say a VG30, but not so much for a VQ35/37

Are you seriously trying to be offensive here?

I'm confused as to why you decided to go the childish route on this... My comment back was me stating an opinion I have, the purpose of the thread I believe, and then followed up with a correction to a comment you made about assuming what throttle lag I was speaking to. You apparently misunderstood what I was stating and decided to take offense.

As for your comment about 90% of the TT'd 370s you've seen being GTM...

Have you seen most of these in person?
Did a high % of the people you saw with these kits frequent this forum or request advice from you?

That may explain why you see such a high percentage of GTM kits... GTM is a Sponsored Merchant on this forum and as such will have considerably better marketing visibility through this medium than say in a magazine. I've NEVER seen a MEMORABLE magazine ad campaign for GTM in say DSPORT magazine... Because of this lack of marketing I provide an alternative due to the marketing medium I've been influenced by most and have stated my opinion as to why I think Greddy would be a good kit.

Just because my current car isn't boosted doesn't warrant my opinion to be attacked in such a childish way.

As far as...

Why are you asking me if I prefer journal or ball bearing turbos? Is this your way of testing my knowledge? It's all based on preferences and risk management just like any choice in a project.

I never proclaimed I was a mechanic or a high end tuner in any of my posts. I simply have stated my opinion on the subject and how I feel I'm gonna go if I stick with this 370z.
