You just swayed me and will most certainly be earning my FI dollars! I have several questions as well...

1) Does the $5k intro price apply to all trims or is that just Stage 1?

2) Price for GTM inhouse install?

3) Why 2 intake filters when the SC only has one inlet?

4) Same questions as others regarding oil filter location/clearance?

5) An oil cooler is a must, where would one fit into this setup?

3. 2 maf's?

5. Oil cooler will go behind the intercooler. Apparently there is tons of room still behind there. Or you can custom bracket it off the left side I suppose.

3. No because that comes in to play after the supercharger just before the intake manifold. Makes no sense to meter the air before the supercharger compresses it and before it goes through the intercooler.

5. If you look at the install photos the black oil color is off to the drivers side of the car.

Are you sure that's not just a relocated power steering cooler? That's aweful small if its an engine oil cooler.

your right I just looked at the pictures and there are no oil lines connected to it. but it looks to be power steering lines. My bad!

I assumed that black cooler was the "supercharger cooler" listed in parts lineup? With that being said, I thought the Rotrex was a self contained unit with no need for external oil cooling?

It is still a self contained (internally lubricated) supercharger. Due to the nature of its operation, the traction fluid picks up a lot of heat due to friction forces. The oil cooler is standard on any Rotrex kit to keep the lubricant's temperatures in check.

Don't worry, it is still an internally lubricated kit. No oil pan tapping needed.

Yeah that makes sense...so its a rotrex oil cooler basically

Still curious why the need for dual intake tube...

I know for a fact from my experience with a rotrex sc set up on my 2002 m3 that the 81 trim is good for 500whp. I am really interested to see what the 91 trim can do !! I would think the 91 trim can make way more than the stock motor can handle.

The rotrex unit is self oiling and has a resivoir that you keep leveled off like power steering fluid and has it's own oil cooler !
Nice job GTM !!! I'm excited about this !

jmlenz · 03-01-2010, 08:35 PM

on a side note...its nice to see the main components of the S/C nice and low to the ground...much better for center of gravity. The last place you want more weight is up high in the front of this already nose heavy car. Curious to hear Sam report the total weight of the kit as well.

You guys dont need to worry about what will happen with a oil cooler sandwich plate!!

You dont need one!! You would simply plumb a front mounted oil cooler inline into either one of the 2 large lines going to the oil filter relocation.

So, just remove one of those 2 lines, and send it to a cooler, and the cooler output back where the line originally went.

so once again, no need for a sandwich!
