GTM Performance Engineering 370Z SUPERCHARGER KIT PRESS RELEASE

SAM@GTM · 01-04-2012, 05:34 PM

***Update 1/4/12***

We have the CARB Test Letter in hand! This means that CARB has approved the components in the kit and they have everything they need with the exception of final emissions testing. We are *this* close to getting approval.

Good to know. Looking in one of your earlier posts; I guess you will "hopping" to it!!

Is the individual induction displayed in your avatar available for a 2009 370Z?

It's California. I think CARB probably only works 2 days a week due to the budget crisis. I am sure no one is more eager than GTM to offer a CARB kit since their competitor already does.

As someone who has run a small business, I know exactly what they have done. CARB approval has been a low priority. By promising they will complete it, they have protected some sales that would have went to their competitor.

As to blaiming the CARB process, that was a fine excuse a year ago. We are now 2 years in and Jerry Brown cut those limited furlough days over a year ago.

Sam can correct my guess if I'm wrong, but here it is.

1. The process was more difficult than expected
2. When GTM needed to provide more documentation or change a part, they put their other workload ahead of this effort.
3. They decided to have the system tested on the heaviest 3.7L car, the M37, so they could have all 3.7L cars certified in 1 shot. This delayed the process considerably.

Still no news on the CARB approval...

Has this endeavor been completely scrapped?

It makes me a little sad that they avoid every public question about it.

I received no commitment in PM conversations either. What more can be said except this is vaporware.
