Sorry trips I had to post this |
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?
|
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 |

Wow, were you in this group buy and paid then decided to get the supercharger instead because of the wait?
lol me and Alkatraz are neighbours as he said ;) don't you know every single person in your country? :P Quote:

To all saying it's the high TQ that kills a motor, you are correct, BUT.... Horsepower is simply a function of torque at xxxx RPM. More precisely, HP = (TQ x RPM)/5252 :tup:
Also, F.I. has done their due diligence and it is just paying off for their customers, that's all. Nobody truly knows the limits of the stock block until a kit like Tony's meets a Specialty Z tune and the clock ticks forward. Haters gonna hate. |

So let me get this straight.. What FI turbo kit owners are saying is 600 WHP is safe with FI kit but with GTM kit you will kill the engine with that power? :shakes head::shakes head:
|
I think it's that the FI kit makes more power out of the box, and there haven't been any failures yet. Granted, I'd be shocked if anyone had more than 5k miles on those kits. Again, time will tell.
|
ofcourse they will make more power out of the box. just look at FI kit and compare it to GTM kit they shouldn't even be on same sentence, totally different category, and not only that. their kit use bigger turbo too (GTX2867 compared to GT2860)
I just find it childish to argue about FI kit will handle 600 WHP while GTM kit will pop your engine with that power.. |

^It's about more power on lower boost, and therefore efficiency per unit of added air and fuel, not the absolute figure. 9psi on two disco potatoes is 9psi on two disco potatoes, whether that's from a GTM kit or an F.I. kit. Difference is in the what makes up the rest of the setup and the quality of the tune.
And the stage 1 FI kit still uses 2860; GTX turbos are an extra-cost upgrade. |
