GT Motorsports: 370Z Supercharger system development

Zsteve

Sounds like something that I can agree with, but I have never increased boost pressure in my setups. I have only swapped out turbos for more efficiency for my application and driving habits.[/QUOTE]

You didnt get the car tuned after swaping the turbo to a bigger one?

Possibly a MAF equipped car.

I think the little birdie may have lied about more information today.

Zsteve

still a tune would put it in its real effiecency range as all turbos have their own sweet spot. On my stock turbo once it was tuned I gained power of course but I also gain a couple of MPG as it was in its sweet spot.

Power FC is what I used. Never dyno'd, but I used FC Datalogit to dial in settings for my injectors and boost control module. Took me a long time to tune it (with help from a friend), but my AFR were safe and that was enough to keep me from blowing up. The thing I found odd was that the boost was set @ 10PSI when I bought the car from the lemon lot. I had no idea until I installed my gauge setup. Once I changed out turbos and installed the power FC, I kept the same boost level. The car was a beast compaired to how I purchased it. This was on a CA18DET equipped S13 Fastback (European model).

So if you are asking me if I had my car professionally tuned, the answer is no. Would I do it once I turbo the NISMO, hell yeah. Too many electronics and algorythms at work in a Z ECU. The CA was simple, which is why I loved it.

HEY DON'T MAKE FUN OF RANDOM FAT GUY!

Zguy

wow this thread has grown 10 pages in 2 days..... and only 1 post from GTM out of the 10 pages.... you guys need to start a new thread and quit thread jacking this one....

budakai

Sam gave us something to talk about.....This is a forum...

kdoske

any other request? Maybe sam can prepare you one of those pretty drinks with a little umbrella while you wait.

SAM@GTM

I think we have showed a lot of info, pics and shared more then any other company that doing this type of work.Yes the process is slow, and i don't think it can be any faster, just sending the car to carb and going through the proses is a big undertaking. them add all the different a/r housing we offer. all different pulley it is a very time consuming work . but that's what it takes .

Sam

Togo

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.

budakai

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