Z1 installed GTM stage 2 turbo kit on 2009 370Z

First of all thanks to Blackbird for the opportunity to work on such a beautiful car. And thanks to Sam and the GTM staff for all their help.

So what happens to a 370Z when you have performed all the bolt ons that make power but the car just isn't fast enough?

Well if you're Blackbird you scratch the NA setup and start researching FI systems. Next you get the HP goal set. Then after thinking it over you setup an appointment and order a GTM turn key kit from GTM or one of their dealers(Z1 :)). Last get the car delivered to Z1Motorsports :) to start in finish the project.

Is removing the engine a must???? Just wondering.

For a TT install, yes. It makes life so much easier and simpler to install things.

I disagree, TT kit is easier for me with the enngine in. It gives you a better idea of where ypu have room and clearance.

Back on topic, im sure this car looks amazing, but he pic aren't working for me. :(

In the car would be best if the kit were in a development stage but removing the engine makes everything you need to do with the installation of this kit soo much easier.

your gallery is broken, trying to view images i get:

What do you think is hard to do with engine in?

Removing stock headers, being able to be up close to the engine and not reaching over gives better control when unbolting/re-bolting items, and easier to route tools without using extensions or angled items.

I can't see the pics either. I get blue box with a question mark??

Im shooting for around March or April to bring my Nismo to Z1. I think I have desided to try and build a Stage 4 setup. Just depends on what all I deside to do to it as to when I bring it in.

Josh I think you have the picture gallery set to friends only. You need to make it public for the rest of us to see. :tup:

the images are linked from the z1motorsports website.. so it cant be the friends thing.

can everyone see the pics now? All of my permissions are set good and these pics are coming from the same gallery as all of the ones on z1motorsports.com. I got red X's earlier but all seems good now.. am I mistaken?

Picture FAIL :iagree:

Alright I figured out what the problem is... it will just take me a few minutes to make it work correctly again. Ill post when its working... for good

Should be all good now!! SRY for the confusion guys.

Very nice install. When does he get his car back? I want to go see it!

He picked his car up last Thursday. He is very pleased :)

clean install... I bet it runs nice!

Wow great work...How long did you guys have the car and what's the price range for a job like this?

:iagree: I'd be very interested to know this as well.

Wow 540HP? Awesome, I can't really see the TQ numbers with the dotted lines right there... was that 460TQ???

540/460 Sounds Really good to me. Thats right where I'd like to be myself...

I'd love to see a Dyno vid of this. :tup:

My only conern is the berk high flow cats. Paired with the turbos it only takes two months untill they are transformed into down pipes. Turbos make the exhaust gas much hotter and it eats through the material inside the cats. I know cause it happened to me! Maybe some cats are made for this job but the Berk High Flow Cats are not.

i saw it run.. it was.. when the owner started it you could not tell it was FI. but when he got on it... haha

I hope the owner drives it because it'll be interesting to see how long he can run such an aggressive setup on stock internals....clean install!

This is Blackbird's DD. The job took ten days. With an extra two days fooling around with things. I spent all day on the dyno it didn't need it but I like to go the extra mile. For pricing please email or PM me. I also forgot to mention the car laid down 424rwhp heat soaked and at 5.+psi. And sorry guys no vid, I didn't have time to get anything ready(the car is quieter than an NA).

at 540/460, how much boost and what octane?
