It will be interesting for sure, Will see how close we can get to 600 WHP, it is very critical in an SC setup to hit the mark the first time unlike a turbo where we have the luxury of making things up with just adding boost, Supercharger builds are completely different animals. As for time frame, it will be sometimes next year.

Sam,

Hoping you would be able to answer my question. If I get the stage 2 SC and I dont want to apply all that HP all at once and say only want to run 400 - 420 whp. Would the tuner be able to attain that or would we have to switch pulleys?

Also, I didn't see a valvebody upgrade for the 7AT, is there a timeframe on that?

I'm more interested in the whole "NVH" vs "real balancer" side of the debate. If the rubber ring on our crank pulley is truly balancing the engine rather than just reducing NVH for aesthetic purposes, then a few vendors have a lot of potential engine damage to answer for...

I posted here for few reasons, one of them is that the underdrive pulley will also effect the speed of the Sc unit directly, So even if there was no other implications with installing the underdrive pulley, You still will make less boost by having one. As for the rest of the info, its your choice you can take it what ever way you like.

What a press release Sam. You guys/ gals at GTM are truely inntovators. Especially with our cars. I like how you guys think ahead such as us guys who already have your oil coolers. Super A+ bro. Repped. Under drive pullies FTL. They really never served much purpose in my eyes anyways. I know you didn't state that but I am.

Does the manifolds have to be removed to install the new engine mounts or removed for any pupose to do the install?

Me too. I would love to get all the data to look at it. I just don't understand how when you are sitting idle that hot pipe doesn't negatively affect IATs. Maybe when moving the ambient air flow is enough to offset it (with the good heat shields).

SAM@GTM · 09-12-2011, 02:06 PM

Sorry guys, will answer all these questions shortly, busy morning .

You could get a snorkel kit.

Questions for Sam: (1) what is the expected life-span of the factory cats with any of these kits? (2) I noticed in the pics of the new radiator that they don't match. They appear to either be two different prototypes or two different versions. Can you explain please?

As long as they are answered

no

NYBladeZ · 09-12-2011, 03:28 PM

but it is highly recommended, as with all FI kits there are always options to upgrade with that will extend the performance and life of your setup.

DarkZide · 09-12-2011, 03:42 PM

Hell....s/c kit, radiator, oil cooler, this, that, the kitchen sink....about 15 grand for 500whp. I shoulda bought an 03/04 cobra or a GTR.

Yeah, if all you cared about was WHP. Most people spending this kinda money have a few more metrics than WHP. The 370Z is obviously not the platform to go with if that's your only consideration.

A lot of people don't know the maintence cost of a GTR either.
