GTM MHI Twin Turbo vs. Fast Intentions Twin Turbo
 

Requested to lock thread. Happy folks?

You cannot compare these two kits, you need to compare GTMs garreett TT kit to be fair.

Oh no, here we go....

Are either of these kits actually out there yet? I'd say no one will know the answer to your question until the kits have been shipped and installed.

I wasnt trying to compare these two kits side by side on a performance level. I was trying to get thoughts more on which would you prefer for the use i described (daily use and light track).

I know none of these kits are out yet. Im just trying to get some ideas on where I want to focus my budget on and see everyones preferences.

There's no way to tell until production kits are out in the wild and independent sources start showing real world numbers.

The MHI kit is a compromise kit with a much lower ceiling. If you're ok with that, then go with it and save the money. The FI kit or the GTM Garrett kit are scalable to whatever power level you want. If you're never planning on building the motor, you can save a lot of money with the MHI kit. But, if it ends up not being enough, you've painted yourself into a corner and it will cost a lot more than the amount you saved up front to get out of it.

Somebody please ban the OP :shakes head:

What am I doing wrong exactly?

I was just trying to get some info... if something i said was that bad then sorry... jeez i thought forums were a place to ask questions.

While there may not be data on either of the kits to accurately give the OP a suggestion on which route to take, there's nothing wrong with the question he asked. Stay on topic or don't post at all :tiphat:

This is the info I was trying to receive. thank you.

Thank you sir :tiphat: You understood what I was trying to go for.

Such a trollbait topic.

He chooses the more affordable low budget Gtm TT kit and pairs it up with the most expensive kit out there..

U need people to tell u what chuck did? It's obvious, just read up on it.

Unfair comparison to begin with.

wow you people need to actually read what I wrote instead of looking at the title.

Hey you!

Go here, buy me mariquitas and churrasco and PM it to me. Quickly!

Please don't bother to ever make a thread with valid questions.

The MHI kit will spool faster, but make less top end. It is designed more as an OE kit. The full race kit is way more expensive and will make more top end power. Choose your evil.

Spool will depend on which turbos you're comparing. 16g vs. a GT28 with the big housing or larger? MHI all the way. 20g vs. the GT28 with the .63 housing? GT28. Ball bearing turbos like the Garretts will spool faster than a similarly sized journal bearing turbo like the MHIs.

Should known someone would

Lol :bowrofl:
Thas more like Cuban/Argentinian style... I'm not from there! That link has to be a set-up!

Well to entertain this thread I would pick FI kit if money wasnt an option.

Gtm kit has limits. FI kit doesn't. Just comes with a price tag.

To help this and other threads out, if I get time this week I will put together in the noob thread (http://www.the370z.com/forced-induct...ion-noobs.html) a spreadsheet comparing the kits.

What it will probably look like:
GTM Garrett v F.I. v Greddy v GTM MHI - TT group
GTM v Stillen - SC Group
BP v VIS - T group

Fixed. We both know how good the GTM Garrett kit is. ;)

D'oh! Forgot to put the MHI lol. Thanks.

And yea the Gtm Garrett TT kits r awesome. 12 lbs of boost n 10k miles later still can't stop smiling :)

lmfao
 

you'd get out of here safer if you were caught with one of their old ladies....talking turbo trash... :roflpuke2:

HAD the cash but research lead me to buy....gold and silver (sorry Tony). I'll live with 315 hp for a while.

Ball bearing doesn't have a huge affect on initial spool. Transient response and turbo life is where BB shines.

Spool has more to do with turbine housing and wheel size. Have you seen how tiny MHI turbine housings are for 16g's and 20g's?

If by initial spool you mean boost threshold, you're correct. A 20g isn't really that small, although I haven't looked at the specific flavor of wheel they're using. The Greddy kit uses 20gs as well, and people haven't seemed to complain about boost tapering to redline.

I'm ready with all the body bags we will need when the bloodshed starts.:icon14::eek::eek::eek:
