The more you buy from GTM, the more flexible they become on pricing. They'll make you a deal if you buy enough from them.

Ask GTM if you need the fuel pump relay. Maybe go a size up on injectors and fuel pump so you can throw on a smaller pulley down the line without changing too much else.

Any specific brands on the gauges. I'm thinking about just replacing the stock ones. Unless you guys would advise on a better option. I'll inquire to GTM about the other stuff.

Chuck33079 10-15-2013 09:23 PM

Boost, afr and oil temp in the stock location maybe? I just went with boost and afr on the a pillar. GTM sells Defi gauges, and they're fantastic. There are others out there, but it's easier to get everything sent to you in one box.

Voice59 10-15-2013 09:26 PM

Cool, I'll definitely look into that. And talk to them, maybe they can work a deal out with me like you said. That would definitely help things.

Chuck33079 10-15-2013 09:29 PM

Don't expect it to be huge, but there's some wiggle room if you buy everything from them. They're good guys. They'll steer you right.

I ordered my kit a month ago. They said lead time would be 4 weeks or so.. I'm gonna give em a ring tomorrow and check on the status since I haven't received a tracking # yet.

I just went with a defi red racer boost gauge and an aeroforce interceptor with analog inputs for oil pressure and wideband o2. then i can still monitor everything else the car monitors if i feel like it and its only two gauges.

25 row oil cooler is recommended too by the way. I'm waiting on the kit to see how everything looks before i fab my own lines / bracket and stuff for it or just order them through GTM to save some *** pain.

anyway, congratz on the purchase! there's great info on here. read every build for the gtm superchargers you can on here, i learned a TON. dmhenderson, Baer, fryzia to name a few helpful and knowledgeable guys. if you have any questions, i'll try my best to answer since hopefully I'll be installing in the next couple weeks

Thanks for the inputs everyone. Chuck, every little bit counts. They said they had a military discount and that they'd apply it to the order so that's a plus. They seem like stand up guys so far... and from what I can tell very few people have any kind of issues other than wait time.

Congrats man. Over 20k miles on mine over 2 yrs and still running great.

Second the opinion in upgrading clutch and csc. And 25row oil cooler is perfect for me.

Voice59 10-16-2013 07:53 AM

Awesome. I was slightly worried about longevity and reliability. I'll be looking at options for a clutch and csc toinght. And I'll go with their oil cooler option. What psi are you running and what are your rwhp and tq numbers?

theDreamer 10-16-2013 09:41 AM

I would not worry too much about that, have a good install and solid tune and follow the proper maintenance schedule.
I am just about to hit 50k miles with my stage 1 SC (GTM), at about to hit 70k miles overall with my Z.

ANMVQ 10-16-2013 12:16 PM

Plus 1 for the solid install , mine was screwed an I only got 6 months and 5k out of mine before boom :(

I'm looking at getting installed and tuned at Hill's Garage in Maryland when I get around to doing it. May I ask what psi and your numbers are in terms of rwhp and tq?

I am at 8PSI and putting down 400HP & 340TQ.

Voice59 10-16-2013 06:31 PM

Cool.. I think I may push a little more psi. Maybe around 9, 9.5. Hopefully get 450 whp. Might be stretching it though.

Voice59 10-17-2013 06:15 AM

I emailed GTM about all the possible supporting modifications to safely and reliably extract more power from the kit. I'm waiting on a response. So (fingers crossed) once I get that response I'll be able to start making some more moves.
