Very nice build man! I have the single sc kit on my Z and I noticed you said something about wanting an OS Giken clutch... Did you stick with the JWT or what? I have the OSG and can vouch its awesome!

My car is the loud one. I thought it was more in the middle. Infamous said my car is loud and my family knows when I arrive. Infamous's car had a CNT exhaust and it was way quiet. That has big resonators, mufflers, and hemholtz resonators. With five total Fi'd objects spinning in such a small area, we just might create a black hole

Haha...I'm totally straight piped so time travel is a definitely a possibility :-)

Oh well, what a nice read, never ever seen any build thread so well organised! Still a lot more to go through.

I've also ordered the same kit from GTM about 4 weeks ago, looking forward to getting it delivered so I can crack on with the fitting. Man, I can't wait!

Thanks for the comments

I try to keep most of the meat on the first page. I'm glad to see another taking the dive for the kit! The price is a hard pill to swallow looking at everything there is on the market, but this is the best there is for anyone going SC'd. This is also the only option for LTH's. I'll be looking forward to your build

W00T!!! I love tax season. Uncle Sam is paying me back $12,600 in taxes. Now can give poor Phunk the money I owe him lol. He's been beyond patient with me. I'm also due for tires, my wear markers came quick after boost. Like most, my rears are worn more than my fronts.

It also looks like I'll be in PHX for about a year. This means I need to find a cheap and reliable $hit box that sips gas to drive on the daily.

Edit: Also updated my hyperlinks at the top of my journal to include initial and final reviews of my GTM TSC kit. I waited a while before I made my final review so it would encompass any troubles I might have come across with it... which I did, and how GTM handled it... which they did.

Wife told me I was rubbing off on her. She took my car out and got to the McCarren airport tunnel. She rolled the windows down and mashed it, smiled, and laughed at herself. Even she can't resist the urge lol.

Pic below: My garage has that too...

Mr&Mrs · 03-14-2014, 02:50 AM

Glad you both are enjoying this beast! Haha I say I'm marking my territory when I leave those marks.

SS_Firehawk · 03-15-2014, 04:26 AM

Well, the dyno confirmed my thoughts. This car is not even close to making 550whp. On a Dynojet, it didn't make over 350whp. I'm going to do some light throttle logging in the morning. It just didn't seem like it did when I picked it up. Then looking at other peoples vids making "less" power than mine really got me thinking. I was trying to get the AF showing, but it's late. I just want to go to sleep.

Was GTM the source of the 550/410 numbers and this is the first independent test?

Do you have another map on there it could have been switched to by accident?

Mr&Mrs · 03-15-2014, 09:53 AM

That's odd it would lose so much power like that. Hope you get it figured out quickly.

SS_Firehawk · 03-15-2014, 10:52 AM

It has two maps, but that's beyong mild and aggressive. The highest one was with meth. I had issues last year on A Mustang dyno. I can link that too

Chuck33079 · 03-15-2014, 12:13 PM

Yeah. That's not going to account for that kind of difference. Any trap speeds to verify GTMs claimed numbers? Something's way off on that tune.

SS_Firehawk · 03-15-2014, 12:18 PM

Nothing. I'm way too busy to do anything atm. I messaged Seb a few days ago. He wanted proof it needed a tune. This is definitely proof.
