GTM Performance Engineering VQ45VHR-Our Journey to The 1000 HP and Beyond

RCZ · 07-16-2010, 10:23 AM

I think 1000hp is for show...then when he wants to actually use the car he will tune it down to 600hp or something actually usable... that being said...I am curious to know the answers to 370z_TT's questions as well.

What are you doing for cooling Bullitt? Going to need some SERIOUS cooling capabilities to keep oil temps in check...and I mean serious.

Also what are you doing for the diff? the Stock one is going to die with that much power, not to mention suck.

I will talk to Sam and see how things are going with the install and what kind of time frame until Tuning begins. Hopefully I can get you guys pics of the Plenum soon enough.

Like I said in my earlier post once you get to those Hi HP numbers tracking the car is a whole different ball game. You approach corners totally different the best way to relate it is our cars versus a miata. A miata can be full throttle through a turn where we can not. Its the same concept except the acceleration is that much faster.

Brakes:
Currently I am running Alliance's 8piston 15" rotor, 6piston 14" rotor combo. I will be running this and testing the system out to see what its capabilities are.

Cooling Issues:
We are working with several manufacturers to address these potential issues and we are using every available option to keep this thing cool.

Differential:
Currently we are running the stock differential but will be replacing it with an aftermarket unit once track testing begins.

hope that answers your questions.

UPDATE:

Just got off the phone with Sam over at GTM. The motor was broken back down and all the parts including the oil pump got a new type of coating/treatment. Sam did some digging and found some issues within the VQ platform that could have lead to a failure in the long term. I want to say thank you to Sam for going the extra mile to make sure my parts will last a long time. Sam has spent a great deal of detail on this build and is really working himself to the bone trying to get the car ready for its magazine cover shoot! The Motor will be installed back in the car this week and the finalizing of the install should be finished by the end of next week hopefully. Then its on to tuning and getting this bad puppy on the road!!!

Again I want to thank Sam and his crew as they are working nights and weekends to get everyone taken care of. If you talk to Sam on the phone he may sound tired... well thats because he doesn't sleep! thats right this guy is pulling all nighters to make sure everyone's projects are to get done on time! So if you are waiting on parts or are waiting on your build to be finished just be PATIENT as Sam and his entire crew are working to the bone to deliver you the top quality parts and builds you expect. Sam and crew are NOT willing to let a product or build go out the door like other companies that will not live up to its goals.

Stay tuned for more updates...

Sweet! Amazing work! I'd like to see a sticky WIKI-like thread about the VQ37 platform, findings, etc... of course, I don't think Sam can do this alone haha.

I agree this would be great and would answer many peoples questions if they would take the time to read it. I am trying to help Sam as much as I possibly can from my side. I wish I could take several days maybe even a week or two and help with my build so he could get a break... Yeah, I think the findings in this thread will benefit our community for years to come. Sam is at the forefront of VQ technology and outside of the designer of the VQ37 I dont think anyone has as much knowledge or insight into this platform as Sam.

Can you just tell us if it fits or not?? I know the strut cant be tested with this setup until the engine is in the car.
