Can anyone post some videos, or make some, that accurately portray the recirc. valve and opperating noise of this SC kit? Interior/Exterior. IE: Driving around regular, spirited, WOT shifting? All the videos I've seen, even TT setups on dynos, you can never hear that rush of air sound(BOV and recirc setups), only exhaust and the noise of the rollers.

Try this one:

YouTube - GTM 370Z SUPERCHARGER STG1 8PSI 550BHP/400 FT OF TORQUE 460 RWHP 360 RWTQ. TEST DRIVE

Forgot I had seen that video. That satisfies the interior noise. Wonder how it sounded during all that from the outside.

I would venture to say it sounded bad as hell !!:tup:

I would say so too haha, that car sounds awesome!

I completely agree. I'm hoping this SC from GTM will sound like the m90 SC does.
Here is a vid of an M90. Listen to the 47second mark

YouTube - Intoxicating Sound of a Rouscharger

I think that gear whine is annoying, I like the fact that the Rotrex supercharger doesn't have the gear whine. It seems like the Rotrex S/C only provides that nice turbo whistle sound.

How are Belts holding up on this kit?

Come on now...the effect on the cars center of gravity would be negligible even if you tracked it. Your heat argument is also kinda silly too since the gtm sc sits right next to the biggest heat source in the entire car, the headers. Own oil cooler = added weight and another possible point of failure. You are right about one thing though, it does look stock!

Forgot to look at the pro's of having the sc where stillen put it, such as: shortest possible route from the sc to the manifold = very responsive throttle, easy to access, no pressure drop in the intercooler, less weight in piping and gets more airflow to keep the unit cool.

Gotta look at all pro's and con's man. Just sayin'

Yeah, yeah, you're always "just sayin'". ;)

hey every little bit counts especially when your dealing with added weight on the front end..actually the sc sits in front and is lower than the manifold keeping the heat shield intact..the oil cooler only wieghs a couple pounds at most (its small)...didn't one of the Stillen sc's actually blow a seal while on track?...i dont have anything against Stillen's product and i weighed the pros and cons for both..i just decided to go with GTM:tup:

my belts are doing fine after 8000 plus miles on it now.

Hey Shumby any issues with the setup so far?

NOpe not one so far. Like I say the only issue was the hot start issue that I got sent the fix for as soon as i told Sam. Only thing i added was the Navtool so I could listen to Music while watching the Camp 2 as well as getting my Nav working again.

I have no idea what that issue means or whether or not it would potentially affect me. Yet anyway, is that fix now included with GTM's SC kits as standard?

lol. the hot start issue is a problem that occurs after the car is driven for a bit and then turned off. then the heat from the engine soaks into all the engine components. Now try to start the car and it spits and sputters and sounds like it is having a really hard time to start. Ya Sam should have this figured out now. However if you do get this issue as mine did n ot present itself right away, Sam will get you a flash to correct it.

ya when the motor is hot it needs a tad extra fuel to start thats all, no biggie.

cool thats what i wanted to hear:tup:

Hehe, You and I can look at the same thing and come to different conclusions. That's what makes the world go 'round.

^ what he said

It wont. My best friend has one of only a handful of supercharged RS4's and its using an M90. It has a pretty sick whine to it especially when you hear the car coming at you. Good news is - I had the pleasure of riding in a Rotrex powered M3, which looked to have the identical unit as mine, just days before I completed my kit and it sounded awesome. Its alot more stealthy sounding but during every shift you can hear the bypass valve giving off a sort-of 'laser gun pew pew' sound (ROFL). One thing we all agreed on was that it still sounded amazing, so worry not people...worry not.

My buddies RS4 for ref... http://www.youtube.com/user/kryptoni.../4/sGKvHUpzMjk He made the video for his forum so its very detailed...just skip to the 8 min mark and you'll hear it. Same as that mustang. Ours wont sound like that, but he also heard the M3 and loved it...

yeah there wont be any awesome gear whine with the rotrex, and as for comments about a stillen blower blowing a seal on track it's a vortech head-unit, stillen doesn't make it they buy it with a custom label riveted to it, and the vortech head-unit is usually very simple and reliable. on the same coin i remember when rotrex units first came out and HKS used them for their 350z supercharger kit due to the "awesomeness" of the variable ratio steel roller friction drive, and they had nothing but problems with them. The superchargers themselves should be marked for or against the manufacturer of the head unit not the company making the kit. Personally i hate all variable displacement superchargers so i could really care less about either one. The M90 is a beast up to about 350hp after that its adiabatic efficiency shoots through the floor and you better have the worlds most awesome intercooler and an amazing exit port job.

At first I was like "not sure if want" if it doesn't sound good.... Now, I'm "want!". You sold me on the sound. LOL "pew pew"

you'll want..haha..believe me it was loud inside the car..i can only imagine how loud it was outside:icon17:

finding a creative way to mount all the coolers..i have too many! lol...ps cooler, intercooler, oil, s.c. cooler..this should be interesting..

Hey wish, any updates? I'm headed there on Monday!! :excited::excited:

not yet since last week..take lots of pics:tup:

:hello: What's the word wish? Haven't seen anything lately. I though Sam said they were getting close on yours.

i havnt gotten the call yet that its done..hopefully soon

recieved some pics from Sam on oil cooler placement..check out the naca duct setup:yum:

That looks pretty damn goooodd !!

Is that going to be molded into the bumper or painted body color? Dry carbon would look so hot!

thats hot. hats off to sam and his team.

Here is some more pics of the set up and we will offer this in CF air scoop as well .

Sam

:yum:

yeah Sam can get it molded, painted..whatever u want:tup:

100% thats mine, in CF...Please.

Sam, the day before its ready, I want it. ;)

Dayum, awesomeness. That might work well for a potential brake duct as well, thanks for the info.

I think that it looks ugly! you will have to have on both sides.
It looks like a riced out Honda .
Id rather have the stillen bumper

It's just a prototype right now. Not even a finished product. I myself am not sure I am sold on it yet. However, I talked to Sam today and he said that it can be whatever we want it to be. ie. rolled, CF, molded etc. I also told him that if I went this route, it WOULD DEFINITELY have to be on the other side as well. He said that it would be on the other side for the intake, so not to worry, it would balance it out. I think it would look better molded in so it looks stock. If I purchase the amuse kit, not sure how that would look.
