I think you guys may have misread Budakai's post. He said Sam already has given us lots of info, in response to Zguy whining about 10 pages of posts with only one post from Sam...

I think he was justifying all of the Off Topic garbage in your thread. :) But, definitely don't rush the R&D on our account... Take your time...the product is always better when it stews for a while. :stirthepot: :tup:

lol, your right. ahahahah I though he was saying give us more. My bad!

NO NO NO...I was responding to the person above my last post...Everything kool sam..were are just taking about tech stuff...

I was talking about the guy above me with the 10 pages in two days comment. Sorry about that.

Thats what i said you were responding to Zguy!:tup:

I think sam would post a new thread when everything is finalized....I have never seen a thread with over 40000 hits i'll say that much.

wow

almost 54k now :)

Its funny how both GTM and Stillen have gone dark for a while on these threads. I personally dont think the supercharger is producing the numbers they were expecting as I had previously predicted several posts back. I have a feeling the cost of this kit is going to be close to the cost of a twin turbo kit.

Unless the supercharger is 5 grand or less I wont be playing. I am quickly loosing interest in the supercharger and I am leaning towards GTM's twin turbo kit. I already have the supporting mods for either kit and after reading the self install thread on the GTM twin Turbo kit, its totally doable.

at $5K what kind of HP would be acceptable to you?

Yeah you keep telling us this like we all want to hear it 5 times over, you know, in case I woke up this morning and completely forgot that 2fast4thelaw won't pay more than 5K for 100+RWHP. By the way, there is no way you are too fast for the law...

Its funny to me how people keep making comments like this. Most of which, despite their claims, won't even be purchasing any kit at all. If they would just read the thread they would see that they will flamed with the silly, 'whats taking so long' comments.

I wonder if GTM is going to do a ECU reflash with the SC kit. Oh yea what's the adv vs Disadvantages of a reflash vs a Standalone unit.

They will most definitely have a ECU flash with the kit. Running boost without a tune is an almost certain guarantee for engine failure.

I know tuning of some sort is needed but which one do you think is better? Reflash or STU

Hopefully there will be an available flash but I think a full tune on a dyno will give better results for those who don't mind spending the extra money.

Woops, got my threads mixed up.

We will offering our turnkey kit with a flash, there is no logical reason to use a stand alone for waht we are trying do here . We are the only company that are able to install and tune a stand alone on a VQ37VHR to date. it was not easy .

As for adv vs Disadvantages of a re flash vs a Standalone unit,it is really depends on the intended use of the vehicle to simplify it. if is for a street car i will use a flash and for a track car with some extreme power output that will require a lot of the blows and witless that a factory ecu can not do, I will do a stand alone

Sam

the price of the supercharger kit will not be close to a twin turbo set up. As i stated earlier we are still testing and this part can not be rushed, the Gaines that we have shown so far are very promising .

Sam

What is acceptable to you for 5 k ?

Sam

Will this kit be available for the HR 350z with the flash? Also, thanks for taking the time to keep us up to date so often.

Yes it will.

Sam

Sam if I wanted you guys to install. How would i book an appointment for say end of May first of june. How long to install and be back on the road?

Haltech :yum:

Hmmm...great question. At that price point, Vortech's SC in CARB-legal form was putting out high-300s whp and about 300 ft. lbs. of torque on the old Rev-Up VQ35, right? I guess getting over the 400 whp mark with torque in the low 300s wouldn't be too out of the question on the VQ37, would it?

I hate to ferment "conspiracy theory" type ideas but I can't help but wonder...will GTM cap the power and torque of their stage 1 S/C kits to >500whp since it would take away from the more expensive turbo market. I still feel that with a tune, downpipe, full 2.5in exhaust 500whp or damn close to it will be possible.

Woohooo Sam you sir have made my day. :happydance:

I highly doubt this is the case. GTM wants to put out a product that will compete with Stillen's SC, and Stillen won't cap the power on their kit due to the TT market.

i think everyone will be happy with the SC kit...We can't really open up our cars on the highway anyway...31 mph above any given speed limit = 30 day suspension....That's the law over here in PA anyway.

just a bump so SAm sees my question:ughdance:

I guess I'm a conservative kind of guy. When did 400whp become slow. For me the 370z just needs a bit more grunt. Hopefully I will be able to get the basic kit and rip up some canyons.

400 whp would be great for a DD. It will depend on the TQ too. And also people will have to decide if said amount of money is worth 100 extra whp and whatever the TQ will be. Id love to have that much power for my DD but of course $$$$ will make the call.

Yea 400 is good if I want 500+ I know what to do...When the new model comes out we'll want to get that one anyway...so it really doesn't matter in the end...

Yeah that is true, and I really would not think it be worth more than 6k for me. As I would just get a bike instead at that point, but I know that is not something for every body.

Wont work on the VQ37VHR.
