thinking of a turbo setup

jezeka777 · 03-27-2012, 08:02 AM

Hi guys Im new to the Forums and have been taking alot of time researching about a turbo setup for my car. I decided to give GTM a call to get more info on the setup and the supporting mods i need. So to my amaze i was told that i really didnt need anything done to the car but a better exhaust then the stock.
I was told that i could keep my stock clutch and flywheel because they have tested it on a car making well over 580whp and it held up for about 20,000 miles. When the subject of gas mileage came up i was dumb founded that the turbno setup will not only give me ungodly power but that i would have great or better gas mileage on the car then stock. Im sorry for all my ranting but i thought this would be great info to post up for anyone else looking into to doing a turbo setup. GTM has great phone support and will hold your hand to make sure that every question is answered and that your confident on your decisions.

I have the GTM stage 1 twin turbo. I am running with the stock clutch and have about 7000 miles since install. As long as you aren't launching the car real hard on drag slicks then the stock clutch will hold fine.

My only supporting mods are a 34 row oil cooler, exhaust, boost gauge and AFR gauge. The kit comes with everything else.

As far as gas mileage. Not a chance to get better mileage. While the car is probably capable of getting near stock mileage there is no way you will want to drive it that way. It's way too much fun to hear the turbos spool up and that takes extra gas. I was getting about 22 mpg average per tank before the TT. I get about 18 mpg now. 4 mpg loss is a good trade for an extra 200 hp.

Dembflyr, did you hook your exhaust back up? Or are you still waking the neighbors with the open exhaust? lol

Open down pipes. They can sleep when theyre dead.

I haven't been driving it much really. And I wait until at least 10:30 before I start it.... Except for this morning. I'm leaving in about 30 minute for my tire install.

Awesome!

I would love to hear your car when you really get on the throttle! I'm betting the fillings would fall out of my teeth and my ears would bleed!

You should search even more.. Complete your due-diligence before committing..
And do not follow the crowd blindly. Educate yourself now, so that it saves you $ down the road..
FYI- YOU WILL NOT GET BETTER MILEAGE.. ( if you really believe this, you need to research even further)

I would highly recommend you waiting to see what Boosted Performance has in store for the 370z platform.

edit: ^^ didn't see you had already mentioned BP

OP, there are a few single turbo kits popping up that look promising. you may want to look at those as well. off the top of my head, Boosted Performance (in development), S&R (in development), and STS make ST kits

Please tell me there is a thread somewhere on this! I wanted to buy his kit for the 350 so bad but then it got totaled out. Super good guy from what I have read on the 350z forums and cant wait to see what he has in store for the 370z.

that's exactly what happened to me! he's developing the kit now...

Alberta owners turbo interest?

I would wait a few months for the fast intentions twin turbo kit, just so you can see whats all out there before you make your decision! Good luck going forced induction! I cant wait for my build to be done.

That is awesome! For anyone wanting to go FI I would wait because the Boosted Performance kit will definitely be a great option.

Boosted Performance · 03-27-2012, 12:28 PM

Give you guys a teaser:

A true twin scroll with equal length primaries, utilizing the firing order of the VQ. Nothing like this out there. This will also allow for big power because it will be a true T4 with options up to 1.32 a/r.

Will be using the all new Precision 6266 and 6766 T4 CEA billet turbos.

I will be a sponsor here shortly.

What do u mean a "true t4"? does the turbo housing bolt pattern make a big difference?

or am i thinking of the wrong t4?

T4 vs hybrid t3/t4 turbos.

Anything smaller than a T4 is a waste of time as it will just choke the engine.
