I am sold going to be great to see what this kit does on a built motor. Looks like I will be pulling the stillen kit off once this kit is rdy. If nothing else having twin superchgers under the hood would be rare as hell can we start putting money down on this kit or what I'm rdy

I hate to derail this thread, but we have pictures that you can compare side by side of their install of our kit and kits we've installed in house. Here are just a few:

Please show me the "massive" modification that was needed.

Sorry mate, but your second hand information does not make for a credible accusation.

Every other RHD kit we've shipped to any other country in the world (including other Austrailian customers) have never reported having to do "massive" modifications. In fact, they've all fit flawlessly.

/off topic

That all said, we have clients around the world and always endeavor to have offerings for them as well.

No vids yet...we're not quite there yet. lol
No worries mate, I didn't meant to accuse you, I'm not even sure that said kit was yours or of another brand, but you know, fitting it's something that might worry any UK/AUS/JAP customers.

at any point, if you make the twin SC work regardless of hand drive position I'll be happy to be your customer.

Cheers
Hope that the video comes soon!!!

i know the person that your speaking of, i think it was back when GTM first released the and didnt do a RHD option but he bought it anyway. and when he got it installed they screwed up some part of the install making it differcult. i cant remeber exactly what happened as it was a very long time ago but it wasnt GTM's fault it was the installers not knowing what they were doing.

I am quite clueless on the engineering/mechanical bits, but am I wrong in assuming that if one SC has a parasitic loss of say 50hp, wouldn't a twin supercharged system have a parasitic loss of 100hp? So, would it be therefore be "better" to have an SC & Turbo set-up, SC for low end and on-demand power & Turbo for the high power figures?

Either way, I am still very keen to see the finished product!
