Monday update Mike or Sam??

I was curious so I called JWT today. The 370 TT hasn't been axed, but they haven't started work on it. They're still finishing up their 2007 350Z kit.

3 years later and they're still working on it?? So the ETA for the 370Z kit is what, probably in 2015?

JWT must have bigger fish to fry! Thats why GTM is on our side!

will this kit work with your gtm oil coolers and test pipes from other manufacturers or do you recommend waiting?

I think their turn key kit is pre tuned to a certain exhaust set up so maybe other test pipes might effect it a litte. The oil cooler is most likely re positioned. ALthough I could be completely wrong on both of those statements lol

I hope they can chime in on this question because the stock cats are very restrictive but I don't want to pick up a part I'm going to have to dump down the line for a loss

You can always get a retune it's not like Stillen's maps are holy lol

True, hopefully when GTM releases they'll include a tune for hfc's and test pipes

Yes that is a must. They have the resources and they are the type that can accomodate anyones personal custom needs, I dont see why not. One of the reasons they are ledgendary as a tuner.

Considering how proud we are of the products we manufacture, we made sure that our oil coolers and the factory exhaust components/direct replacements are compatible with our supercharger kit. Again, we designed our kit to work as efficiently with the factory vehicle as possible without detracting from the form and function of the car.

If you are looking for things to get for your car while waiting for our supercharger kit to be released for the DIY installer, our 2.5" cat-back, GTM Spec ECU Flash Kit and heavy duty oil cooler are good things to get. In fact, if you get our flash kit, there will be a credit available for when you purchase our turn-key supercharger kit, because we'll be using the same engine management. ;)

The only things we do not recommend getting are any kind of underdrive pulley or cold air intakes. We don't make either product and our supercharger kit comes with a cold air intake...so you'll be covered in that department.

don't forget the clutch/flywheel, thanks for clarifying Mike!

AMEN brotha!!!! :tup:
:happydance:

hopefully there are numbers up soon :D

I know that we have engineered and produced a superior system to any other system on the market. Let me say this: it is years ahead and it is so hard not post pics right now.

We are in the process of taking pics of the kit on and off the car with all its individual components. After that the kit is going back on the car to get tuned. Then we'll start taking in house installs :D

Here are few pics anyway just to show where everything is.

Sam

GTM> some tight clearances there! what exactly are we looking at? Is that the hot outlet pipe that splits off to the dual TBs?

This is the supercharge cold air intake to the air filters (supercharger inlet ) .

Sam

Nice!!!, you should just give in and post more pics Sam!

I know this topic has been beat to death but can you give us any idea when to expect some numbers? Thanks

The pics that you are seeing are the final pics before starting the tuning process, and sense we have tuned so many forced induction VQ37VHR . this will be fairly quick .

We are shooting for this Friday

Sam

:excited::excited::excited:

WOW!!! Looks like that intake pipe was not easy to make at all. Would of hate to be the one to fab that thing to spec.***Lots of Work
So what are we shooting for friday?? More pics and numbers?? Or tuning??
This is going to awsome to see this thing on the dyno. Something tells me we are going to see good numbers with an sc application on the new 370.

Pretty sure that is cast aluminum, probably designed in a CAD program and sent out to a die cast shop. Having said that it would have still taken a lot of measurements and skill to do right.

very impressive I can't wait to see the results. It looks pretty, but what are the numbers!

Yes the intake was very challenging to make. Even that is an understatement. Given the limited space we have between the supercharger and the motor mount, we had to completely redesign the compressor housing of the supercharger so we could have adequate space to fit the proper supercharger inlet . Our senior fabricator and designer did an outstanding job of really maximizing the limited space we had to work with. Again we designed our kit to work around the car and not the other way around .


As for Friday, we are hoping for the complete press release of the GTM 370Z supercharger kit .


Sam

Wow, can't wait for Friday!:tup:

that looks fackin tightt... both meanings :tup:
I want stage 15 please :happydance:

i spy oil scavenge pump

Edit: also the pcv hose there looks to make this an optimal application for a catch can and dual breather filters being that that intake pipe is already complicated having to fit around the engine mount wouldn't it have been easier to run a single filter or does it split off and the MAf's are relocated to the filter pipes for a draw through setup? Also does the factory map sensor on these cars read bost or is it just a 1bar?

Is there pricing yet, Sam?

(it's a very long thread at this point and I don't want to go through every post)

Thanks, looks great! Subscribed for updates.

No official pricing yet

I don't understand why there are 2 tubes coming off the intake piping for 2 air filters when there's only 1 SC. Can someone explain why that was necessary instead of using just 1 filter at the end of the pipe?

Because your OEM ECU reads from two MAFs (two throttle boddies)

Wow, I am pumped for friday!! Thanks Sam

Oh yeah! I knew that :ugh2: Doesnt look like theres a slot for the maf though there... hmmm must be another part, or built into the coupling on the filter?

I wonder what it'll take to get 600+ out of a supercharged Z, probably something similar to Forged's stage one short block. I remember on the 350z's the drive-shafts were a weak point, how does the 370z match up?

So being that you have had to assemble and pull apart many times, I imagine it gets easier once this is up to your production specs....SAM what are you anticipating a normal installation will take you guys time wise?

It will take alot more parts and money than the cost to get a turbo system to that hp level.

I don't know if I agree with that, to get 600+ out of a turbo you are going to have to build the block as well. Secondly turbo's lack the low end torque that I am in love with. Either way both applications will require similar supporting mods, built engine, clutch/flywheel, exhaust to name a few...

are you talking about this friday????????????:excited::excited::excited:

True dat not to mention you could buy a built block and a smaller pulley plus a supercharger kit for the price of a twin turbo kit soo about the same amount of money that a 500hp twin turbo kit costs. it is amazing what you can do when you don't have to buy 2 of everything and the stuffs not made out of inconel. i will admit the supercharger is the cheaper route right up to about 800hp then turbo's reduced power demands begin to make things cheaper. so if 700 hp or less is your goal i'd go supercharger.

Centrifugal SCs aren't known for great low end torque either, though. Roots/twin-screw SCs are the ones that have the great low end.

Twin Screw:yum:
