1ST 7AT TOP MOUNT TURBO BUILD.. By S&R Performance
 

The build has been in the works for a few weeks now. Its starting to build momentum now so I thought this is a good time to start the thread. I bought the Z 5 months ago and new right away it need more power so I bought some bolt ons and had the car tuned. I still felt the car needed more so I started for hunting around for f.i. options and decided on S&R Performance because that was what I had in mind before I even came across them.So far Bobby (the owner) has been great with me as I am probably much more involved in every step of this build than your average joe. He is always willing to awnswer any question I have any time. Even like today (The 4th of july) He called me to talk about a few things about the car. OK so on to the Z, its a 09 auto with sport pack and has 6800 miles on it.

I will post more as the build goes on.:tup:

How much is this build roughly costing ? Was thinking of doing similar.

call them for details

Ok...was just wanting a general idea...I'm east coast so won't be where you are getting it done.

Do you live in Georgia? If so I am only a few hours away! We are located in Tampa, FL

Down pipe looks awesome... can't wait to see how the routing of the intercooler piping to the throttle body is going to work out. :tiphat: to where I thought the actual possible was impossible.

Off to a nice start.

Any plans to beef up the trans?

Sorry for being a stickler, but is that the 350 exhaust? I am pretty sure the 350 Motordyne exhaust is called the "shockwave 2"? The 370 is known as the E370...

Sub'd!

Yes the trans will be getting upgraded next year and your prob right i named the exhaust wrong. :(

I took the car to z 1 to confirm the horsepower numbers so nobody can say that the numbers were not accurate.

That cover stands out. Is it 100% necessary?

what is the diy difficulty level of this build?


Sorry... meant to direct this question to SRperformance.

Nice but I'm hearing this are some issues with the GTM VB upgrade for us(7 SPD). Trouble getting to shift correctly. You know LVL 10 has a fully built tranny for under 4k. I know may be alot but just something to think about. I hoping to get close to 500WHP with my new pulley set up ,Heat excahnger and injectors,Then next year and half proablly going built tranny from them.

great numbers BTW , TIRE spinn LOL

Your thread was promoting a NON paying Vendor and S&R was contacted by AK /ADMIN to pay to be a Vendor here since they were making comments in your thread But by the looks of it They S&R have complied and are official and I see no reason for it to remain closed. Next time I advise to PM staff

Thank you for giving a reason that was unclear before.

Great!
I want some vids!

the valve body will make for some ultra aggressive shifting but our a7 has weak high gear clutches... i would seriously consider doing that first or with the valve body.

stillen may still be doing valve bodies? thats also another option.

I heard that also, we'll see

about the same as any other kit. I can have the hot installed in about 4 hours. The cold side is real simple.

We have one more jig to make for the automatic. I need another AT to complete the jig ...hint hint

Once we have a diy kit there is no reason why you and a buddy and case of beer cant do in a weekend.

I sent a message to a buddy who has a auto. I hope he calls you all.

GTM VB works perfectly. talked to Sam last night.
My stage 4 stage tranney willbe shipped in 2 to 3 weeks to me.
I will post on it when i get it installed.

How much needs to be done to a 7at to go FI?
