Preparation for Supercharger

gouda-buddh · 06-07-2014, 09:38 AM

Morning everyone!

I have done a lot of research and I am just looking for 'extra' help and clarification for what I am thinking of doing! This thread is similar to the thread titled "Preparation for Stillen Supercharger".

So after doing research, I have decided to go the Supercharger route instead of TT route. And based on the posts on the forum, I have decided to go the GTM route instead of the Stillen route. My car currently is a bone stock 2014 370z!

My question is what mods should I do in preparation for GTM Supercharger?

1. Should my CBE be 2.5 or 3?

2. Would the Akuma intake or Stillen G3 intake work with this?

3. Would ART pipes work with this? HFC? Test Pipes?

4. NST Pulley?

5. Is there anything I am missing?

Anything suggestions would be helpful. I am looking for performance and gains!

Thanks!

2.5 cbe will be fine because sc's actually do well with a bit of backpressure but have a backup spare motor just in case..

Your sending GTM your money? You haven't done enough research!

Don't send GTM a dime, it'll be nothing but a headache that will last for months...and that's if you get anything before they fold.

No pulley or intake needed.

So true...too many people here and out of the forum have had so many issues with them...Its really too bad...I think that they have pretty good products.....their Customer Service on the other hand....Eeeeeeeh...well...u can figure out the rest.....

Wow... so is Stillen Supercharger my only choice then? Is there any others brands you guys suggest? I have only read about GTM and Stillen.

For superchargers it is but you have other options in turbos.

If price is the reason you're looking towards superchargers I'd look at boosted performances single turbo. I paid for a GTM SC kit 2 months ago and just got a tracking number on Thursday

good luck getting anything from GTM, stillen is really the only option if you want supercharger, you will NEED a custom tune as well.
