You can reread my post, but I am sure: "My plan is simple. mess around for a year at it's power levels, throw it into high boost after the year. Just see how long this engine can survive a 630/550+ beating while my built block is waiting." Was pretty clear that I expect the block to be on borrowed time at that number....

I get it tho, you like to argue...go nuts. I am in the wrong thread anyhow. I believe this is your side of town

I actually read your post as slightly redundant. I totally read your statement above and understood that, but then I didn't understand the 20-40k estimate... I just assumed you drove like 20-30k a year meaning that once you switched to high boost, it would be gone

Thats how I took it too I mean he did say he drives it like it owes him money (and for 11k I assumed that meant he drives it hard and a lot)

Also I'm not on either side of the fence, I'm just not the type to take up torches and burn down one side over internet speculation, The F.I. kit is great but it's too rich for my, and many other peoples blood, does the old GTM kit have some things that could be improved yes, is it crap? no lots of guys have made good trouble free power with it and still do, there are a ton of them out there, and they are priced afford-ably. I get it everyone can express their opinions but a lot of you guys have turned it into a witch hunt, and now apparently everyone has to take a ******* side? what is this the ford vs. chevy camps at bathurst?

hmm thought we were just going with the flow of the thread, some guy from texas is pushing big torque -> we said his motor won't last long -> F.I. owners started going nah we can do it -> I reiterated that that is A LOT to ask of factory components (but if you spent 11k on turbos you probably aren't worried about another 10k for an engine) -> end result prepare to replace your motor if you has that much torques. Didn't think any of it specifically referred to you. You've already said you plan to replace it when it blows, I just pointed out you probably wont get near the 20-40k you said you expect at that power level if you are in the boost often. This isn't really an argument in my opinion more casual debate, but I guess I hurt your feelings?

So what your saying is F.I's kit would be better if it were a bit worse?

I agree you are cutting down the longevity of the motor at those power levels however, no one really knows how long the motor will last.

Sorry trips I had to post this

blackonorange · 03-16-2014, 05:17 AM

Lol we can speculate all we want. Gtm still hasnt replied to any of this.

Trips · 03-16-2014, 06:24 AM

I did read the Op has received his refund, Thats GREAT NEWS.

Im very HAPPY for him.

For those who maybe still waiting for an update or a refund? I can only hope you people get satisfaction either way.

I would suggest to PLEASE PM AK to let him know of your refund situation so he can do whatever he can to help.

Everyone else with NO issues here? Please feel free to move on WE don't need more countless pages of more OFF TOPIC replies.

Almost everyone who's had an issues or an opinion? Has been given the opportunity to voice their concerns as well making others aware of a "potential" issue with this vendor.

I would appreciate it as well as the other members whom are still in the group buy list to KEEP IT ON TOPIC!

Please read the Op's original post so there's no confusion

Thank You.

Hey 1slow370 I thought that was funny when you tried to tell Charles how to build a fuel return system.

Dzel · 03-16-2014, 08:07 AM

So, who's still in this thing? I'm paid up in full since June last year. I know some have got refunds etc.. anyone swapped over to a supercharger kit instead of waiting longer?

What's the wait time on a SC Kit from GTM nowadays?

mikey1600 · 03-17-2014, 04:47 AM

not sure, didn't end up asking was just something in the back of the mind.

unfortunately for me, RHD here, so can't go with any other turbo kit and supercharger is the only other option, was so excited for this kit though haha
