GTM Stage 1.5 supercharger build

snowsurfdirtx · 09-23-2013, 07:22 AM

Hey guys,

Can I use a thermostatic sandwich plate from an old oil cooler setup here or do I need GTM's inline thermostat due to the way the filter is relocated? (it seems insanely expensive for the GTM line kit since I think it's just a Mocal thermostat)

You can but Sam has all the lines and everything pre made.

Yeah, they quoted me for the lines + inline thermostat.. 455. Seemed steep for just some lines, fittings and a mocal thermostat. Figured.. use the sandwich plate and their line kit w/o thermostat, if I can, but I'm not sure how the line setup is to begin with. Looks like I'd have to cap some fittings? Can't tell. Might just give up and order it all thru gtm.

I have direct port meth injection installed. It only sprays when I start boosting pretty hard (over 5500rpm) I'm really using it to cool the IAT's. LTH's really warm things up, especially with all the other things stuffed under the hood. I'm sure it's good for 20-40whp, but honestly, the damn car is so flipping fast, I won't be able to tell if it did.

is the zip tie doing anything in the pic above? are you worried the hose will pull off right there?

SPOHN · 09-25-2013, 10:52 AM

Socket less fittings, me no trust.

snowsurfdirtx · 09-25-2013, 12:21 PM

I agree SPOHN. Doesn't oil press hit almost 100lbs on cold startup? I'd throw some clamps on there. Is that filter relocated or just has a sandwich plate on there?

Baer, I'll check em out today man and I'll let ya know

you could try fuel injection clamps but whatever you use don't go too tight or you can cut into the inner hose with the barb. the fuel injection ones are less damaging to the outside of the hose than the worm style. I usually just opt for crimped fittings and take them to a napa.

Awesome! Thanks pokeyl.

Update: after talking to Aeroforce, I decided to go with their Interceptor gauge which is a combo OBD-2 and analog input gauge(2 inputs) for my wideband AFR and oil pressure gauge. Still debating where to mount the suckers :/ I saw a guy mount one to the right of his clock.. real low.. with a clean holder. Might velcro one there and see how it looks.
