GT Motorsports: 370Z Supercharger system development

Phimosis · 09-06-2009, 10:45 PM

I have 2 questions:
1) Isnt the cost of the Rotrex pump about twice the cost of a Vortech or Procharger?
2) Will the location of the pump reduce it's efficiency from the heat coming from the exhaust, or can that be completely negated with an intercooler?

Thanks,

Looks great!

The Rotrex blower is more expensive but not twice as much, At the end of the day you get what you pay for .

Now for the blower location the factory manifolds are very well shielded so we are not really worry about that, only one way to know, A lot of testing and data logging .

What if we are upgrading those factory manifolds...

The blower is not really that close to exhaust manifold, I will have to take some better pics of that area and in the event you do have after market headers, I would recommend the Thermo-Tec Exhaust Insulating warp, it works very well

Thanks for the response Sam. I was thinking of wrapping the headers anyways but good to know that there should be sufficient space.

I'm loving this kit, I really can't wait to see this thing get set up and see some vids.

When it comes to choosing between a super charger or a twin turbo, It really comes down to personal preference. For me a twin turbo is what i would choose

I'm glad that we can offer both options

Turbos would be a blast i'm sure, I just feel like a Super would be a wiser choice for a car that will be daily driven 10k+ a year...

either way it is great that you guys offering both

We start installing twin turbo system on 350z back in 2003, To this day we have customer that are still running with the same system, same install and over 70 k of boosted millage.

So again It really comes down to personal preference

Turbo will have potential for way more power, most likely

+1

Our turbo system have 6 different stages with nine different turbo options ,so you can start with 500WHP Stage 1 kit and go all the way to 1100 WHP + stage 6 (duel GT35R'S) with the same kit just different turbos, you could not do that with a supercharger
