I have had friends and personal experience that any TT build will be priced around 15k+ if you want the job done right and a supercharger kit from about 9k+. The fact is you will never be satisfied and you get what you pay for.

A lot of people jump into the game thinking they'll just buy the kit slap it on and good to go. Not always the case, you still need a tune, possibly different injectors, fuel system, gauges, upgrade the pulley (if you have a SC), an engine managment etc. These things add up real quick and will put you over the budget in a heart beat.

Of course the HR motor is a different beast in it's own from the previous VQ motors, so it's kind of like comparing apples to oranges. The good thing about the HR is it takes to mods well and produces the power. I guess as time goes we will really see what the true price of a good build will run. For those thinking the 6-7 range I hope you guys have a different credit card to put the rest of it on.

I look forward to the rest of GTM's results, I know it will be promising and better then any other kits put on the market.

^^^ agreed. However, doesnt GTM basically provide a turn key kit with everything you need included ie; engine & fuel managment, injectors, etc? If GTM installs their own kit does that include a tune?

URD's first rotrex system was 4k, complete, ready to rock and roll. im not so sure why the huge jump in price once the TRD blower came out. I was the VERY first person to have it installed on my truck....was a decent kit. made 311 rwhp with meth on my tacoma that dynoed 192hp stock. ofcourse the TRD blower made 350rwhp on my truck with an assload more TQ....

The reason for the jump in price was because URD was originally using a different blower and changed it over to the C38 after seeing the limitation of the first choice. The new blower was able to push the additional 100whp... Not sure on the specs on the original kit but I believe the intercooler was changed as well.

Miss my tacoma :( I had a 08 Double Cab in White with a 6" Fabtech Coilover lift on 35s/20s. Ill post a pic if I hunt one down.

BTW, my friend Alex's Vortech V5 kit on his 350 cost $5600 installed, 8k? really? No sir, not at all realistic. If this kit costs over $5500 alone, my business will be directed elsewhere, Stillen, Vortech, etc. A Supercharger is supposed to be a good way to boost for considerably less, with 8k, i'll build my own TT kit.

Have fun!! :tup: Let us know how your custom TT kit goes and be sure to post your gains and some pictures when your done...

Don't forget to get a huge piece of paper for your garage floor, as your 370z will be quite a beautiful paper weight parked right over it over the years it takes to make the custom TT kit functional.

I hope you sane fellow members understand my sarcasm.

You skipped over where he said he would go with a competing kit (assuming they costs less) and instead commented on a passing comment about building his old TT kit. :rolleyes:
