GT Motorsports: 370Z Supercharger system development

NewYorkJon34 · 01-31-2010, 04:07 PM

I know this is the GTM thread, but why is everyone ripping apart the stillen kit, before seeing final numbers & tests?

If you have ever witnessed a Kenne Bell vs, whipple war on a mustang forum you know what this could turn into so lets just stop with the stillen comments now. I mean i'm all for starting trouble but it isn't worth it this time.

Kenne Bell FTW

I agree. Let's stop the bickering. Both companies will offer great products and both deserve a fair chance.

Wouldn't you rather somebody bring up the mass air flow sensors placement issue before you invest in a supercharged kit with air temp compensation that has been completely thrown out the window ?

Asked this same question in the Stillen post earlier...

As my oldest says in this kind of an instance. "That's Tight!"

I am comparing in my head between this and the Stillen and I am planning on installing myself and I am just not commfortable in replacing the intake. Its a little too radical fopr my tastes and I dont live in a area that has HOT weather. Its pretty moderate here in Denver year around so I am not so concerned with air temps.

Regardless if you choose GTM, Stillen, or any other company, I'm sure the peeps from CONOC can pitch in and help on the install. We could just grab some beers and pick up the tools and take our time on the car.

And yes, air temps our the least of our worries up here in the Mile High City.

The snow is my fear

You guys are on! I would gladly accept the help and company on this project. I got the tools and the garage and a liquor store less than a mile away.

Air temp compensation table look up is utilized at all time and will effect not only power outcome and knock control but also cold/hot start and could also lead to severe engine damage sense the ecu will lean out the the air fuel ratio as the air temps rises

Interesting point. I welcome a technical conversation about the positives and negatives of each kit before I put down such a large chunk of money on either kit. Thanks, Sam.

Yes, that is the way it should be and it is for everyone best interest so you guys can make an informed decision.
