GTM Performance Engineering: MHI Twin Turbo Official Release

puckshaw

Um they've had a prototype for quite some time. In fact, they let me take it for a test drive months ago.

SPOHN, I feel for you. I've been in your boat a time or two myself. It doesn't feel good. You're the only one that can make that decision. And you're going to be second guessing yourself after you make it.

I've never said anything much in this thread. I want to be boosted too. But I'm not going to put big money into a group buy until I can see the finished product. I can go either way, this kit or FI. I got the money. But neither company has put a kit in anyone's hands yet. The general public. So, I'm holding back.

Yeah this had me confused as well.

Check out my thread on myg37.com
GTM MHI Twin Turbo Kit Roll Call - MyG37

Wattles is the guy who has had the 16G kit on his car for months now! Or are you guys saying that there is no 370z with the kit installed? G37 or 370z = practically the same platform.

The demo car I drove was a 370.

Until you have to pay for the hidden costs of chinese components...........

SPOHN feisty! Wish you the best man!

tl:dr - Until there is a prototype with miles racking up and proof of this, don't expect a ship date, it's that simple. Anything else is just silly.

As the day is long

It's a hard choice for me if I did want to back out. If I don't go with this kit I will not go FI at all

Well I'm taking it as it comes (with no Vaseline).

Remember I told you guys a happy wife is a happy life... Well my wife is pissed because of all this. This is my first car that I've built with her around. So she thinks it's always like this. So instead of doing the install like I wanted early next year I will have to wait till the year after next! Just cause of not getting any updates or parts.

Mike@GTM

Update: We finally got a response from our casting company today on the status of the cast parts that we have had on order with them. They are telling us that we can expect to have the parts within the next 30 days. The parts we have on order are our new, updated cast manifolds, new turbine outlets for the factory cats, and new O2 sensor housings for our modular 3” downpipes.

As for our mandrel bender, there have been numerous setbacks with the bender supplier. For starters, we were supposed to have the dies in hand before the end of this month as of their most recent schedule. That has been pushed back since the original wiper dies were not leaving a desirable finish on the bent pipes and had to be reworked. This of course was after our metal supplier sent the incorrect temper piping to the bending company to test the dies and ensure they work correctly. The bending company is estimating that we will have the dies in hand on November 8th. They expect that they can have the bender setup, up and running sometime between November 11th and the 15th.

Please be advised that this is information that is passed on to us on when we can expect things to happen. Given all the setbacks we have seen thus far, this schedule is preliminary and not set in stone. As such, this schedule is subject to change.

As we get information in that changes any of the projected dates, we will post up the information. Also, bear in mind that once the parts come in, we will need to process them all, do quality control and then start packaging up the kits to ship them out.

We have a system in place that will allow us to ship the kits very quickly and we are already working on putting together the components that we already have in stock in anticipation for the arrival of the final components. Without going into great detail, we have a system in place that will allow us to put a turbo kit together complete, in a box, ready to ship within 2 hours.

We will also be posting two new threads. One will be about the latest results from car that got our first iteration of the MHI kit. The car had 10,000 miles on the kit and we brought it back in to tear it down and inspect the system. We will be sharing what we discovered and give some more insight into this new system. The second thread will be about the GTX upgrade option.

Thank you guys, for your continued patience.

Hey guys,

where are we at with the cast parts? been well over 30 days now, can we get an update on the cast parts please?

I know you've got your mandrel bender setup and running, I'm assuming just waiting on the cast parts now?

Cheers, Mikey.
