GTM Performance Engineering: 370Z MHI Twin Turbo Pre-Release

TrinityRacer

Two questions...in the cross section of the oil pan there appears to be trap doors, will this be an option or standard? Also what are the 3 mounting points for on the exhaust manifold? (I'm assuming heat shields). Looking forward to the full release.

Since oil cooling is always an important factor on these cars, there is room to mount an oil cooler kit in conjunction with our new MHI kit as well as our current Garrett based kit. Also, keep in mind that the oil pan that comes with our MHI kit improves oil cooling since it is a cast aluminum unit with cooling fins. Our new oil pan is also 30% larger than the GReddy oil pan and includes our baffling system and anti-slosh valves as standard.

As with our current Twin Turbo Kits, there is no issue installing this system on the Nismo.

It is a lot easier than you think. Obviously it really depends on your goals and what you are after. So let’s say you are after a 500 wheel horsepower daily driver car that is fun and reliable which most people in this forum are after. Why would you spend almost twice as much to get the same horsepower number? Why would you want less area under the curve for more money? Having a fun, responsive car is what having a turbo kit is all about. Our new kit and our existing kit have better response and more area under the curve than anything else on the market. Look at the dyno graphs to see it for yourself.

Our kits work flawlessly straight out of the box thanks to our experience in designing and tuning forced induction systems on this platform. What you see is what you get. You don’t have to upgrade MAF sensors since our kits come with 3” MAF housings. The competition already made a mistake by going with 2.5” piping and then recently switched to 2.75” piping to prevent the MAF sensors from getting maxed out. We have not had any fuel pressure issues on any of the stock engine turbo setups we’ve ever done.

Our goal is to have these kits available and on the shelf. No waiting. So, after stating all the above, why would you consider anything but this kit?

The trap doors are standard with the oil pan. The mounting points you are referencing are in fact for heat shields to reduce radiant heat under the hood and keep it where it belongs: in the exhaust.
