GT Motorsports: 370Z Supercharger system development

Sardis

I agree... TTing an NA car is always going to introduce some kind of trouble.

Yes the 3.7 HR block is much more stout, but it will not be effortless, without headaches, or inexpensive. People expect this to be seamless like it was a Toyota Supra, or something designed from the factory to hold boost.

Just look over in the forced induction forum on the other Z board. People have spent small fortunes boosting the 350z.. It was never that easy.

How will you keep the G3, when you consider adding a supercharge?

dual throttlebodies near the stock location feeding the intake neck to the blower?

oh and for the GTM kit can't see why the compressor out pipe couldn't run through a FMIC an then into a Y pipe that would feed into the stillen gen3's. Maybe use a vertical flow intercooler element/tank arrangement to put the dump right there. That way everyone who buys a GTM kit could rock the stillen G3 until they install the rest of the kit.

I think it is safe to say...hold off on wasting your money on intakes if you are going with a s/c. I don't think Stillen and GTM are thinking of integrating them into their kits. I would be wrong...Chime in Sam if I am. Looking forward to hearing more information as you get it Sam..
Thanks

I really hope you guys release a stage (like stage 0.5) for the MOST but safest amount of HP/TQ on a STOCK block. I'm thinking 400 to 450 for DD would be seriously a quick seller. Then offer an upgrade path to 1, 2 or 3 like the SCs for E46 M3s.

What I would really like to see is for Uprev Osiris to come in the picture and offer in-home flashing with switchable maps. It would be so sick to switch a map with a low boost for regular driving then switch it up to 10psi (just as an example) at a flick of a button.

Superchargers usually change boost levels through a pulley change. What you are describing is common with turbo cars with electronic boost controllers.

This is why im holding off on buying anymore parts for the car. Doesnt matter what i kit, ill either have to take it off to support a supercharger for tt....only thing i can get is a exhaust

Thats so unlikely....GTM isn't going to mfg a supercharger kit to work with the competition's parts. Plus I'm assuming piping diameter and routing will be optimized for the SC...not to work with Stillen's intakes...

G37Sam

Come on guys, it's not like a 500$ intake will stop you from ordering a SC haha

I know I have a question and I am guessing many others are also interested in the answer as well. I would love to have a forced induction system (especially since I am at 5500 ft. elevation and am already loosing over 20% from that alone) but to use Ron Popeil’s term, I would like to “set it and forget it”. I would like the highest gains that are safe for the engine. I would not like to have the lifespan of the engine reduced by any significant amount. I do not want to have to take it to a tuner after the initial setup and install and initial tune. Basically I would like the overall reliability to remain while performance was greatly improved. Is this possible? Am I expecting too much? If I wanted 375+ rwhp, should I have bought a car that came that way from the factory? I would love to hear from GTM and Stillen about these questions. Thanks for your time and attention!
John

Do you really need to post the same question three times in the top three threads?

(And 'yes', I have to post my same question three times to make a point)
