Im getting very impatient about the long wait.
winter is coming soon and i want to rn the 1/4 mile with the SC.
The Ontario Z drag day is Sept 18 and it does not look like it will be on my car,

is your oil cooler different than the one they had or did they not have one with the kit?

NYBladeZ · 08-21-2010, 01:45 PM

I have the LTH's and I'm very interested in Dreamer's results. I'm happy to hear that it is running well but I have to state that it is concerning that we haven't heard any figures or dynos to date especially if it's been about 3 weeks since the install. It leads me to believe that he is much farther away from 8psi and dare I guess less than 6psi. Of course I know we have to be patient so we will. Good luck Dreamer, guys like me are highly anticipating what results your setup yields...

I have a new never installed Rotrex SC for sale if anyone is interested. $1000.
PM me if interested. My car got totaled at the track just before we were going to install it.

The oil cooler set up has 5 lines in it as the cooler goes on the drivers side below the SC oil cooler. Sam has the set up for a G 37 but the 370z set up is slightly different and the lines and brakets have to be custom made as mine is the first 370, 7 AT.
It will have the SC oil cooler, the tranny cooler, a power stering oil cooler, and an oil cooler for the engine + the Sc interecooler. I got the race oil cooler for the 370.
Sam explained to me that you have to very care full where you mount every thing as the 370 Z front bumper has less openings in it than the G 37. He will have to take his 370z demo car apart to measure every thing up so that its fits pefectly on customers cars. He is working on it this week. I wanted a stage 2 but he does not have one in stock for me. He is not sure when he will have one. Im going to wait till he gets one. The possibilty of not having a SC car for a long time. Sam has never let me down so he will get it to me and it will fit perfectly and run well. The 11 secound 1/4 mile will just have to wait.

Mine just arrived today, YUMMMM...

I'll be doing a video unboxing for all you to drool at tomorrow afternoon.

I will have a small window of time inbetween work and the premiere party for Mafia 2 that we are sponsored at in NYC.

If I cant pull it off, then 100% by Sunday night.

Z eliminator · 08-27-2010, 10:15 AM

I will send you pictures of my stage 2 going down the track. Some day in the future !!!!
Good to see that you got it. Good luck with the install.
Can not wait to see how many LB's of boost you make and the dyno of your car.

Quick question... how did you prepare the car prior to ordering the SC. did you have CBE or LTH or anything?

Q8y_drifter · 08-28-2010, 02:09 AM

Z eliminator, by stage 2 you mean the C38-71 kit?

Zsteve · 08-31-2010, 05:14 PM

Jamaica · 08-31-2010, 05:24 PM

Q8y_drifter · 08-31-2010, 05:46 PM

A guy on myg37 (mikelr) has a GTM SC kit which he installed himself. No numbers posted yet.

in for results

shumby · 09-23-2010, 05:41 AM

well here is my summary. Had the kit for 4 months now. running the 6 psi pully making 390 HP and 350 TQ. I tried the LTH but at the time it was a no go and I did not have time to f around with it as i needed to get home. Sam put on stock cats and headers for me and away i went. now 7000+ miles later everything is great. and that is with an endurance test of 2300 miles in 24 hrs. The one and only issue I ever had with it was a hotstart issue which was solved the next day from same with a simple reflash. No waiting around for months for 7 different tunes to come out. Like i say no complaints so really nothing to post about. but I guess Stillen is working the old addage " even bad pres is still getting some press".

I myself when i get time will be going with the 8 PSI pully soon. As i have ratbagged on the car alot on the tranny seems to be doing fine. Time will tell on that though. But all this will be on hold until dreamer sees what the LTH can do. Also looking at the VQ38 manifold getting on there.

Right now could not be happier with the car and the power. And i definatly could not be happier with the service and support that Sam and all the boys at GTM give. I have had the pleasure of being down there intheir shop while they worked on my car and these guys are awsome. Not just some watabee mechanics working on cars. They love what they do and care about what they do. If something is wrong they will fix it although have had nothing really not work. They seem to work on the princaple of right the first time unlike stillen that seems to get the products out and then tries to get things right.
