GTM Performance Engineering 370Z SUPERCHARGER KIT PRESS RELEASE

fstrnldr · 05-13-2010, 01:16 AM

All this talk of the IC efficiency in both SC threads, and unless i missed it nobody has mentioned the fact that the air temp starts with the superchargers efficiency. The different designs of the units as well as if the unit is operating in its peak range, will determine the base temperature the intercooler has to start with.

true that, which is why Id like to see temps before and after IC from both kits at different levels of driving, ie. 5K rpms and WOT.

Sam >>> would you pony up the shop supercharged Z for a comparo like this??

Start telling your favorite magazine you want to see it, maybe they will arrange it. I'm sure both companies would be more willing if they were getting free press to thier direct market out of it.

Sam, thanks for being transparent through the whole process. I tip my hat sir.

Sam, I live in Miami and it is not unusual for us to have some areas accumulate up to 8 inches of water in a day from tropical rain storms. Is there anyway to raise the air intakes up higher in the void behind the bumper? The upper one may be fine my concern is the lower one, we get tropical down pours at the drop of a hat and I would hate to ingest a bunch of water

fstrnldr · 05-15-2010, 10:26 AM

if the top one is fine, then the bottom one won't be a problem. Assuming you run into a situation where you absolutely have to drive through standing water (this has far more things to consider than just your air intake, but i won't get into that here) unless you submerge both filters 100% you won't suck in enough water to hydro lock an engine. Just like if you capped off one filter the engine wouldn't die, it would just breath through the other filter.

Razing the intake wont be possible but you could run only one filter (the upper one ) If you think you are going to find you self in such extreme conditions.

Technically the first Z is the GTM shop car...and mine is the first G37.

This question may have already been answered, but do the tubes that go to throttle body pass in the same place as the S. gen 3 ? Just wondering if I could make use of the holes in the support core that's there already for the intake. As I'm really looking at the GTM stage 2 S.C. Kit, and thinking i maybe able to use the current holes... Sorry if this was already asked and or answered. Thanks again for all your time.

This is obviously the best supercharger kit for the 370z and G37
