Once all that is in the open I'll call up GTM and talk with them about my application, since the off the shelf kit wouldn't be appropriate for what I'm doing...

In for more details!

Regarding the TD05 kits, I would call GTM for more info, but I know that my car and at least one other Z are meant to be test-ish cars for the platform so that GTM has more data points on the performance of the kits. I say test-ish only because I think designs of the kits are basically done, but there are not many installed yet.

Small update. Finally got the car on the new Mustang dyno at GTM. Put down 265 WHP. Heartbreak indeed. Car is basically stock in terms of power except FI exhaust.

Mr&Mrs · 02-03-2013, 01:15 PM

Looks like this new dyno is a heart breaker for sure. The real goodies will be the upgraded number we see. That is all a dyno is for anyway, baseline and final number. Trap speed is king!

Just found your thread. Yeah, this dyno is gives no courtesy reach arounds, uses no lube, and takes penis enlargement pills on it's unsuspecting victims. Mine put down 270whp. That's only a few whp more than my stock number on a dynojet. Well at least I had someone to share my pain lol. Can't wait to see how it performs on your car! The turbo kit, not the Mustang dyno rapeage.

Many thanks! Your post about your cats failing has got me thinking about what my cat plans should be... Have a message out to Tony@FI to see about their HFCs, but I have never head of HFCs faring better than OEM cats with force induction added.

SS_Firehawk · 02-04-2013, 04:50 PM

Having cats further down stream will definitely preserve them. Removing the stock cats for HFC's will definitely help relieve some back pressure. I'm thinking of keeping my HFC on because unlike your turbo setup, these superchargers need some back pressure to keep them spinning in their sweet spot. At least that's how I under stand it. Those F.I. cats on the exhaust system are 150 CEL FYI.

swiss370Z · 02-04-2013, 04:51 PM

Hey Nixlimited

I think you have to necessarily go with HFC in the near future ...

But:
We in Switzerland have very high standards and our exhaust catalysts are (made especially for Europe) something special...and not hold the "extra" power!

Trying to ride with you the original and if they break, then switch to "Tony" from F.I!!

Greetings

Nixlimited · 02-04-2013, 06:03 PM

Yeah, I just do not want to create a situation where the cats fail and cause a major blockage. Then you would get a whole bunch of reversion and other nastiness. I'm concerned if I go with cats farther down the line, it will throw CELs.

Updated first post with pictures of baseline dyno, Defi gauge install, and EBCS install.

showme99 · 02-15-2013, 10:09 PM

Those are some sweet gauges! Good call on putting them in the stock locations.

Hey Nix, GTM sent me the Mustang Dyno results, he may be able to send yours as well. I updated my thread on it, but it was better than the quoted numbers. 290/223, 12.46AFR
