GT Motorsports: 370Z Supercharger system development

SAM@GTM · 09-06-2009, 05:08 PM

We are please to announce The GTM supercharger system Development for the 370Z . The GTM supercharged 370z project was under way back in the begging of the year .

Since we are completely done with our twin turbo system development that was released last month, We will be focusing on the the supercharged system. We are committed and planing on displaying both of our force induction system Solution for the 370Z @ sema 2009 .

Our GTM supercharger system will be utilizing the Rotrex C38 supercharger, The Key to the Rotrex supercharger's unique compactness, efficiency, low noise and reliability is its state of the art traction drive technology.

Great speeds and low noise are just some of the advantages of traction drives over traditional gear transmissions. Traction drives transmit power through friction forces between its rolling elements.

The Rotrex patented traction drive uses an elastic annulus with a small pre-span to secure contact between the roller planets and the sun shaft with a reasonable force. The patented "ramp effect" increases efficiency and reliability in the transmission by regulating the torque transfer capability on demand through self-adjusting planet geometry.

To enhance performance, the Rotrex traction drive uses a special traction fluid. These fluids are a new family of synthetic hydrocarbon oils and greases offering a series of unique performance advantages. Developed specially for its use in Rotrex superchargers, the SX100 momentarily increases viscosity under high surface pressure, enhancing the traction drive performance by securing the optimum friction between rolling elements while cooling and protecting the system.

This traction drive combined with the latest technology in centrifugal compression, characterized by high adiabatic efficiency and low noise, gives Rotrex superchargers an exceptional competitive edge over any other forced induction solution.

The GTM Supercharger Will Have three different stages to offer

Stage one will come with C38-61 Trim up to 550 HP
Stage two will come with C38-71 trim up to 590 HP
Sage three will come with C38-81 trim up to 630 HP

Here is some pics of the the Rotrex C38-61

And here is some pics of the progress of the car,Enjoy the pics and more updates of the progress to follow.

Cost has not been set yet since we are still in development, It will be competitive .

Ohhh this is so going to be at the top of my to do list!

subscribed! also, i think rotrex is OFF on their blower sizes / HP ratings. i had a c32 on my old tacoma, and had to significantly overspin it to get it even close to the rated HP. just based on that, i would opt for the largest one, to get the heat down.

i also had two freeze on me

either way, i am very excited to hear the results!!!

Exciting news - in for results also

If this is the route i take with my 370z im defently doing this...with my meth kit this will be awesome!

Togo · 09-06-2009, 07:05 PM

I just am thinking that with a kit like this, if it really is capable of making 600+, then I might want to build the bottom end...

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!
