GTM built motor on the way

tturbo370z · 12-24-2012, 05:59 PM

After having engine damage from a previous bad install Sam at GTM is gonna redo all the install n redo the motor. It's kind of a bummer that everything I previously had in the car is coming out when I didn't even get to use it lol but the end result is eventually what the car would have turned into eventually at some point in time.
The changes:
Stage 1 GTM long block
Replaced JWT clutch n flywheel with os giken twin disk n HD CSC
Replacing aem gauges with defi gauges in stock location
Replacing aem boost controller with HKS evc 6 boost controller
Upgrading to 70mm competition radiator n HO spal fans to keep up with the heat in az
Installing racelogic traction control system
The wife said it was ok

All this will go nice with the properly tuned stage 2 turbo kit

Wow, sorry to hear about ur troubles. Any time frame when this will be done?

tturbo370z · 12-24-2012, 08:02 PM

Ya thanks for the condolences. It been a dark nightmare ride but the light is fast approaching with the help from Sam at GTM. We are shooting for 30days for motor work n rebuild. The clutch n HD CSC are ready in and when I was there checking on the car it felt awesome. I will keep posted as progress comes thru. Hoping Sam will send some sort of car porn my way to help get me by and to share with you guys.

I cannot go into specifics as there is a a lawsuit pending. Picture a chimpanzee doing a turbo Install n that's about what you have. Couple that with a terrible tune and there u have it. Thank God there are competent shops like GTM to fix other people's mistakes and take the car to the next level.

That sounds like a nightmare

Planet of the Apes has me thinking that there are some smart Chimps out in this world haha. I guess mine and your car can be garage buddies for a month.

Do tell, any more info on this?

Edit: NM I see they have that stuff on their website now. Holy overpriced batman. I thought the CSF stuff was bad... I swear our platform is the only one I've seen short of exotics that gets raped on simple stuff like radiators. Sometimes I think I should have got a mustywang. hahaha! jk.

Unfortunately I have to agree with this, absolutely every single story ive read about them keeping with the "time frame" has gone horribly wrong. Wish u the best of luck OP
