Stillen is not being greedy with info and helping the fourm members prepare for their supercharger. How nice of them :)

we are please to announce the gtm supercharger system development for the 370z . The gtm supercharged 370z project was under way back in the begging of the year .

Since we are completely done with our twin turbo system development that was released last month, we will be focusing on the the supercharged system. We are committed and planing on displaying both of our force induction system solution for the 370z @ sema 2009 .

Our gtm supercharger system will be utilizing the rotrex c38 supercharger, the key to the rotrex supercharger's unique compactness, efficiency, low noise and reliability is its state of the art traction drive technology.

Great speeds and low noise are just some of the advantages of traction drives over traditional gear transmissions. Traction drives transmit power through friction forces between its rolling elements.

The rotrex patented traction drive uses an elastic annulus with a small pre-span to secure contact between the roller planets and the sun shaft with a reasonable force. The patented "ramp effect" increases efficiency and reliability in the transmission by regulating the torque transfer capability on demand through self-adjusting planet geometry.

To enhance performance, the rotrex traction drive uses a special traction fluid. These fluids are a new family of synthetic hydrocarbon oils and greases offering a series of unique performance advantages. Developed specially for its use in rotrex superchargers, the sx100 momentarily increases viscosity under high surface pressure, enhancing the traction drive performance by securing the optimum friction between rolling elements while cooling and protecting the system.

This traction drive combined with the latest technology in centrifugal compression, characterized by high adiabatic efficiency and low noise, gives rotrex superchargers an exceptional competitive edge over any other forced induction solution.

The gtm supercharger will have three different stages to offer

stage one will come with c38-61 trim up to 550 hp
stage two will come with c38-71 trim up to 590 hp
sage three will come with c38-81 trim up to 630 hp

here is some pics of the the rotrex c38-61


and here is some pics of the progress of the car,enjoy the pics and more updates of the progress to follow.

Since belt slippage is one of the biggest challenges when designing a supercharger system, we feel that we have done a very good job with the amount of belt wrapped around the blower and the pulley system that we have designed for the kit.

So now we are moving to make the intake and all the piping.

Stay tuned

the kit you are referring to is the hks kit with our gtm stages upgrade, our gtm sc kit for 370z will cost anywhere from 5500 to 6500 which will include fuel system, ems and it does come with the intercooler

It appears to have worked this time. :D

Hey all! While I don't have much of an update, we are getting ever closer to finishing this up. We have the intercooler design pretty much hammered out and we're tying up a few loose ends on the kit. I'd say we're about 90% there. :D We'll be posting up more pictures and some videos once it's all done.

Thanks,

I will let you guys have a good christmas and new year break but after the new year I wanna see some sc action!!!! haha happy holidays to the hardworkers over at GTM!

Hey where'd you guys hide that intake filter??? haha

I can't show everything at once, it is top secret :D

Don't worry there will be a lot more pics and hopefully some dyno numbers really soon

Stay tuned

wow, that looks like a shyt ton of custom fab and man hours, hopefully the numbers are where we hope they'll be.
