ya i know but it is what it is. I am working with Sam on this too. Waiting to see what the dealer says and then will go from there.

I've been married since I was 20. My kid's are grown up too. What makes you think I'm not?

I was able to buy SC and BBK without her knowing lol. That's well over 12k I hide from her.

HEy man, log on to aim

Thanks for the info, Danny. What BPV or BOV are you gonna go with?

damn thought i was. stand by

Not sure, I'm going to a friends shop to see what he has from some of his track cars and test them out. He has a dyno on hand too so I should be able to get some results while I am there. Most likely I'll have that done on Thursday, late afternoon.

:eek: I think your spending too much time on those rigs!


really sorry to hear that the trans is having problems. Hopefully it at least turns in to a solution for you as well as others with the autos.

^^ ya tell me about it. tray cost more then the SC lol. find out later what the deler has to say. And then wait to see what Sam says he has uphill sleeve for the tranny. But you would know more bout that then me. I know that the tray was going to be a weak point but i did not figure it would fail like this.

Do the GTM kits come with that plastic Bosch BPV? I used to run that stock in my old Saab 900 and once I got up to 360hp and 20+psi, it would flutter because the internal spring was simply not up to the task of holding back that boost or releasing it effectively.

I would definately move onto another BPV; I have had great experience with Forge personally.

Damn shumby that sucks but that is part of the inherent risk of being one of the first guys. Look on the bright side, this forum has had way to many manual v. AT threads that have gone no where and now you've put an end to that....m6 wins!

Shumby, take your car back and give the guys at Level 10 a call.

I think you missed my joke there. As at as he auto trans, that is not eve close to my area of expertise. Sam does have a guy for that, and he is one of the best.

level 10?

LOL i got your joke i was ignoring it . lol


And Sam needs to start cracking his whip on his tranny guy. (lol Sam has a tranny guy)

Too much tranny talk in this thread people let's stay on topic :bowrofl:

Sorry to hear that Shumby ....... hope it all works out for you

PM'd you, but I'll share with everyone else as well... :)

Infinity

I know they misspell Infiniti, but these guys are great.

I've heard mixed things about level 10, I have no personal experience with them though. I would do some research in the Supra world.

Wow, I just made a few call's for shumby and the tranny out here cost 10,803. That's crazy expensive!

I told him about OS Giken transmission, hopefully it was released already and is less than 10k.

Sounds good. Good luck, bro.:tup:

Have you seen the GTM vids that show what the flutter sounds like? Did the flutter on your old Saab sound similar?

Can the fluttering be compressor surge?

i dont think so..compressor surge would normally result in some sort of stalling/power loss...

It's not compressor surge. I'm going to try a new forged bypass valve out. I ordered it last friday so I hope it comes in this week sometime.

To Shumby: when i was looking into my g37 I looked at the price of replacements for the trannys and when I saw the AT price that is what helped me decided on the manual. I really dont think the upper gears are designed to take the high torque of the s/c. Sure these are in the fxs and all but When you are in 5th gear and hammer the gas it drops you down to 3rd or lower. If you cruise in a high gear and just give it a little more gas, you are giving it more torque without the same amount of throttle. My theory. You will probably want to get a built tranny cryo treat it and all. If my 6mt goes out I am definately going to get built tranny.

Also now would be a good time to start calling some junkyards and see if there are any there.

I'm sure for half the price of the new AT you can just convert it to a 6spd.

It wasn't that rapid fluttering at part throttle but it was similar and it basically amounted to the fact that the car was trying to moderate boost at part throttle and the internal spring in the Bosch unit was too weak to deal with that type of pressure. I ran a Forge twin piston BOV for years and it was amazing in every way.

Nice find thanks

I'm really interested in the results you get with the forged bypass valve, I have been waiting on my GTM S/C kit for quite a while and I already bought a forged bypass valve. To tell you the truth that fluttering sound will drive me insane, it makes me have second thoughts on the whole deal. This is the bypass valve I bought:

Forge Motorsport | Alloy Fabrication

Doesn't the Stillen SC use the same Bosch BPV without noise?

The Stillen car at the open house fluttered really bad. Not sure if it was different than he production kits.

Thats interesting...

RCZ,

I think we do use the same BPV. Whats different is the amount of more power this kit makes compared to Stillen on the low end. Its definitly in need of a stronger valve.

Other than that the little I have pushed it during break in, is fantastic!

yeah??? is that why it flutters off boost Danny? because it makes so much more power??

You guys must be running mad vacuum, dawg. :rolleyes:

Can the haters and fanboi's please take this **** elsewhere? I'm tired of having to weed through this crap just to find a couple useful posts.

It's true. My vacuum is greater than yours...GTM = Dyson, Stillen = Dirt Devil.

But seriously, if you had to take a guess, by closing up the valve, how much would your charger pressurize the system too, at say, idle...?

damn he said dirt devil..lol.

I didn't know this. Intresting

Now that i have decent internet at home again ill see if i can find the vid and upload it.
