Correct me if I'm wrong...
GTM's TT press releases on here were originally in WHP. At the time their website also rated the TT kits in WHP. The SC kits were always referred to in BHP, the website reflects this. Now the website also shows the TT kits in BHP. Hope that helps. |

I'm pretty sure the HP numbers here are not BHP, WHP or FWHP. They are more inline with the theoretical compressor capacity which can translate to HP. Which is not a bad way to rate a kit given that cars and condition can vary vastly, hence the reason why GTM listed a few different installation setups in their PR to give a taste of what it is capable of.
Looking at their prior StageI press release and the independent installations of it, I don't see any reasons to doubt their ratings. |

pardon me if this is a dumb question.... but going FI, whether it be stage 0, 1, or 2, on stock internals, tranny would undoubtedly shorten those parts' useable life right? Don't me wrong, I would LOVE to do this... LOVE it... but am just worried of how my engine (amongst other parts) will handle it. I'm sure it can handle it, but question is, for HOW LONG before something breaks???

I think most guys will say it does have the potenial to shorten the life of the motor, but if the car is maintained well and has been tuned properly it will last a long time. I saw on the forum there was one guy with over 6k on his TT setup. I know thats not alot but its progress. Nowbody will know until stuff starts blowing up (or hopefully wont blow)

The rating of the horsepower output of our force induction systems whether a twin turbo or the supercharger set up is always in BHP (brake horsepower ) just like how Nissan rates the car on their web site, the 370z VQ3VHR engine is rated @ 333 HP . The reason why we rate it in hp, is that there are too many variables involved in wheel horsepower numbers: temperature, elevation, gas quality, dyno type (and dyno setup), and the car itself. Even on our turbo kits, the numbers you are seeing came from Garret web site turbo HP rating per their turbo compressor maps. Hope this help Sam |

Sam,
Can the stage 2 kit be used, effectively and reliably, on a car with OUT the radiator upgrade? (I realize that "yes but the radiator is better", thats not what im looking for.) For a pleasure car that sees an occasional autocross, highway pull, or run through the mountains (US 129 "Dragon", etc). Also, I don't see a price for the radiator upgrade? Does the dual oil cooler kit work for the S/C and the engine oil? Last question, with all these additional coolers is it required to cut holes in the front bumper (like the yellow car) to get enough airflow to the coolers? I'm not seeing how there is enough room near the radiator for an intercooler + 2 oil coolers. |

Different story when it comes to A/T trans oil cooling, You must have cooler to protect you Transmission, There is no option there. otherwise you will be buying a new trans in no time . The competition radiator /duel oil cooler set up will work with both SC and TT applications . Will have some pics very soon Sam |
