It is clear from the many posts that GTM is continuing its research program which may or may not be in the final stages of development. I was very interested in this project but took a wait and see position and am glad I did.

Yes. This might be very true. Overall, I hope when the product is in the final release stage, it should be rock solid and the vehicle will run like factory made twin turbo with no trouble. I know it is very annoying to have to wait this long, but in a sense it is worth it to me. I hope this MHI TT product will be a real good and a reliable product by the time it comes to our hands for those who are still willing to wait.

Sam logged in to the boards on the 30th and didn't give a status update, so that effectively is your status update...

Conmam,

Have you fully paid for your TT MHI kit?

No I have not. I am still building up my savings for this kit. I addition to that, there are SO MANY other things that need to be properly modified in order to reliably accommodate this future 500whp on my Z. Believe me, those costs are at least the same or more than this kit. Got to work hard for this my friend.

can u share your list of mods you plan to do?
I'm still in the process of figuring waht's essential to support this kit (more specifically the due MHI kit).
As far as I understood it lacks an oil cooler but ought to be safe for a stock Z?
Cheers

BlkNismo · 01-06-2014, 02:35 PM

^for starters

32 Row Oil Cooler
Clutch/flywheel/csc
1 step colder spark plugs
Intake plenum gasket
exhaust manifolds gasket
misc fluids
Electronic Boost Controller
downpipes/test pipes
catback
Gauges
Bigger Radiator

V1H · 01-06-2014, 03:40 PM

Ah yes sure, common sense, even to me

Thx m8

The choice of exhaust is still my greatest cause for headache.
Naturally I'd want a 3" catback to maximize turbo efficiency, which I only know the Greddy Turbo Ti-C has. But I don't like its sound. In fact, I haven't yet found a single Z exhaust with the right noise. I've been heavily pampered by ferocious VTEC screams of my nitrous battered Stage2 3/4 Race motor and look for a good race noise for my Z. But working on a £3k Honda is a different matter. I wanna leave my Z engine untouched. And test pipes are no option towards that goal. I got to be able to pass M.O.T. of course.

I am going to buy the stuff to do the relay today and will do a DIY write-up for it in the next couple of weeks.

I agree GTM made very good parts, but their customer service is the worst. I tried to call and email about some parts I needed and the only response I got was "send us an email of parts you need and we will send you an inquiry for them". So, i sent them the list of parts I need with gtm's part numbers TWICE for the last 3 weeks and have not get anything in response yet.

At this point, there is no doubt I will not buy amything from GTM even they manage to get these turbo kit ship out. Just thinking about all the additional parts, questions, e-tunes... I will need from GTM during the installation of these kit give me a BAD headache.

Mkai0 · 01-05-2014, 03:25 PM

Believe me, I know what you mean. I jumped the gun bought all supporting mods, pistons, rods, etc, and paid for the kit in full. Six months later the kit still wasn't ready, and I had a family emergency to deal with, so my plans changed. Learn from some of us and actually wait until this kit is out before you start dropping some serious dough on it. As I'm sure you know, a few people who were in this group buy got fed up and even bought new cars! The more you invest and longer you wait, the more you get pissed off. Funny how that works..

Dzel · 01-05-2014, 10:01 PM

Im still fully in, waiting patiently. I really do have lots of faith that this will be a great turbo kit, but every week I swing closer to ringing them up and cancelling. I have the funds, abd I want to be turbo'd.

Dzel · 01-06-2014, 11:34 AM
