Sam,

Please keep your comments in regards to our supercharger kit to the facts...Your information about our kit is inaccurate.

Best of luck!

His comment seems pretty accurate to me. I like both systems but there are things in both systems that I do not like.... I will not pass judgement until I see dyno results on both systems. Sam's statement is correct according to a Nissan master tech that lives next door to me, that is also heavy into modding the Z platform since the Z32.....

Let's try to keep this to a technical discussion concerning GTM's SC. We shouldn't have to wade through pages of off topic posts to find info about the kit. Can a mod clean this thread up and delete all the pointless posts (including mine)?

Thanks.

:iagree:

SAM WHERE IS THAT PRESS RELEASE! :confused:

lol I think it is still like 6am in Cali....

God help the moderator who will clean up this thread

I think we need to give GTM a break they are working there @$$ off to release this kit. They run into a problem, very understandable.
-Thanks GTM for all the hard work im sure it will pay off when the smoke clears!

Regardless if you choose GTM, Stillen, or any other company, I'm sure the peeps from CONOC can pitch in and help on the install. We could just grab some beers and pick up the tools and take our time on the car.

And yes, air temps our the least of our worries up here in the Mile High City. :tup: The snow is my fear :(

You guys are on! I would gladly accept the help and company on this project. I got the tools and the garage and a liquor store less than a mile away.

personally i don't even understand that as the stock plenum is mostly open on the inside with the runners crossing each other like if you put your hands together and intertwine your fingers.

pretty much for the pressure. I could see it affecting an NA application if the tubes were off by a lot as the air would have to flow across from the other throttlebody but for F/I the air tank would be pressurized anyway. So long as there wasn't a huge difference between the tubes it should work itself out so the GTM kit is most likely in the clear

By just looking at a dyno graph for a stock engine and how flat the curve looks gives us a good idea of how good the stock manifold is.

Intake manafold tuning is lot more critical in n/a tuning not in forced induction applications.It is the total opposite because you have to relay on the manifold design. So by adding boost to the engine all the air gets evened out in the stock manifold, not to mention the VVEL that makes things even better.

One more thing, if we were trying to make a 1000WHP @40 psi then I would say then yes redesigning the manifold is a must but for what any company with a supercharger kit is trying to accomplish the stock manifold is more then fine .

Just go to our web site GTM Motorsports*::*Customer Vehicles and you will see a lot of VQ37VHR engine running boost with the stock manifold .

Sam

Thanks for the explanation, guys. Looking forward to more info soon.

you check out the intake manifold thread? it's down in regular engine and drivetrain

GTM, only a few more hours until I go to bed. The clock is ticking.

I'll go look for it now. Thanks!

PLEASE READ below...shady-ness alert!!

Sam's original reply, in case no one noticed clearly (unless Sam has changed it back, as he should do):

Kyle:

"Sam,

Please keep your comments in regards to our supercharger kit to the facts...Your information about our kit is accurate.

Best of luck!"

Sam:

"Thank you for your support Kyle, and the best of luck to you too

Sam"

SAM CHANGED THE WORD "inaccurate" TO "accurate" BEFORE REPOSTING THE QUOTE AND HIS REPLY!!!

Very shady, Sam. As others have mentioned here, your professionalism is severely lacking. Not good when you're about to charge thousands of dollars per kit and you know you'll be required to provide excellent customer service.

Please focus on repping your own kit and leave it at that. Thanks.

ROFL - that's a great laugh! +1 for GTM! You people need to stop with the whining what are you 12? The car scene has never been nor will be a bake sale. This to me is absolutely fun lovin **** talk, and it should create better competition. It's how it goes down on the tracks/streets/etc and I don't expect anything else from these guys. That was clever tho Sam, good one!

Love a good sense of humor. Relax people! If this is the worst he has done, oh noes, I can't imagine how sensitive some of you are.

Yall are mean who cares!
